Carver Silver Seven TUBE Amps on eBay!

Yep! All 30 KT-88 Silver Eagle tubes are included.

From the owner over at carveraudio.com:



"Evidently, there seems to be some concern about the fact I was running
the tube amps with no load (no speakers connected)

In fact, this IS a concern for the majority of tube amps. However, none
of the Carver tube amps are affected by this.

The majority of tube amps WILL go into oscillation if there is no load
placed on them. The Silver tube amps will NOT.

The circuit Bob designed is so stable, you can run these amps with an
input signal... no load, and they will just sit there and purr away.

Where the majority of tube amps will start popping tubes like they are
cheap light bulbs.



The other question I got was, Why is the right meter reading 0, as where
the left bias meter is reading .2

The answer is, I took some of the photos before the output relay engaged
on the right amp. The meters stay at 0 for about 4-5 minutes while the
tubes are warming up.

The left amp was turned on before the right amp was. I saw a spot that
needed dusting, and wound up turning on the right amp a few minutes
later than the left.

Yes both meters work perfectly, and both read the same bias, around .2



I'll ask Bob to write up a little something on the circuitry and
stability of the Silver amps, and post it here later."

First things first. Where to get a black marble audio table like that?

Simple. Go into your wifes dining room, remove whatever normally sits on the dining table, remove the chairs and plop down your amps. Let me know how it works out for ya. [;)] I think he only got away with it because he's selling off some gear.

and then buy her a new one due to the crack down the middle that she blames on the amp weight
