  1. I have a Carver TFM-42 (probably in its last days--I'll have to look into repair recommendations on this site). Thank you for clearing up the matter. For a time, I thought it was the victim of a factory-second situation. I am looking into purchasing a Sunfire Processor (I am borrowing one at this point) because it has the digital and most recent version of Holography. The one real drawback, I suppose, is that I really do not intend to use it for a 5.1 or greater system. I am not especially interested in home theater, so I am looking to update a two-channel system. The Sunfire Processors offer far more features than I ever intend to indulge. Unfortunately, the tube processor that Carver/Sunfire made available seems to be for the purist as it does not include the Sonic Holography option, one of the main draws for me to look into Carver equipment from the beginning. Thank you, again.
  2. I have had some trouble understanding how the volume settings work on Sunfire products. Carver preamps were quick to raise the volume, i.e. starting at 7:00 and moving higher on the volume knob setting, one can readily hear a signal amplified. The Sunfire preamp/processors produce no sound until about 17--20 on the digital "clock"; really, I have to set it to around 45 or 50 to produce a low--moderate hearing level. On the Carver clock, moving from 7:00 to 8:00 produces about the same level. More clearly, why do I have to (comparatively) crank the Sunfire volume dial to hear much of anything through their products? I have noticed much the same phenomenon on a Sunfire TG-R Receiver as well. Is this merely a result of converting to the digital scale? I haven't found this to be true of other audio/video brands for that matter.
