Bob Carver, i was wanting to know what all brands of power amps he had a hand in. I know he was really famous for Carver Audio, but i know he colabrated with some people and brands. Or atleast thats what i thought. I know he was part of Phase linear, and now come to find out, he worked with SUNFIRE too.... I dont anything about them.. but would like to know. I personally love the sound of a carver amps. Is there any other brands he was apart of.


thank you
Mitchell

    Mitchell, Bob started all three companies. Phase Linear was his first right out of college, then Carver Corporation in the 80s/90s, then Sunfire after that. Bob was voted out of CEO of Sunfire (& Carver, too; it's a long story) by the BoD but got a sizable golden parachute & still works for Sunfire as their Senior Technical guy.

    You should keep an eye out on ebay seller audioshopper. That is Bob Carver's handle. He currently is making 180 watt tube mono blocks and puts them on Ebay ever month or so.

    I had the chance to hear a set he made while at this years Carverfest and all I can say is WOW! I attached a pic of the amps we had at CF this year and the Bob tube amps are in the pic.
