Ar9Jim 6,520 Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) On the Ryno Rax is the RAM 285. Some of the features of the RAM 285 are: 1) 4 pairs of Viborg speaker binding post for 8 or 4 ohm loads with selectable feedback loops for identical frequency response regardless of load. 2) 350VA power transformer. 3) DC restorer circuits uses vacuum tubes for fastest response time. 4) CNC Machined 6mm (.236) thick aluminum plate chassis with anodized finish. 5) Buffered left and right RCA subwoofer outputs on rear panel. 6) Transformers are housed separately from the amplifier section for lowest noise. More details are coming. Production is in full swing. Amps are down to a few week from being available. Bob Carver and some friends will be at the factory for some testing and listening with the 285.

Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,836 Posted July 20, 2023 Community Admin Posted July 20, 2023 Excellent, @Ar9Jim Looking forward to the visit to "The Factory," and hearing the new amp! BTW, your TheCarverSite avatar still is the 275's..., seems like it should be the gold-colored-cage 285 amp, now. Just an ancillary question..., for @xavionics..., Why is the "Ryno Rax" missing from the "For Sale" section on this site? 😉 Seems like a good place for it to be showcased. (Just helpin' a brother out!) 2
Ar9Jim 6,520 Posted September 18, 2023 Author Posted September 18, 2023 The power transformers meet specs. B+ is just under 700 volts. These are pictures of serial #1 getting its wiring sorted. It's been 14 months from Bob's design to this point. 3
