The new prince arrived today. (M1.0T) Just waiting for the king to arrive back to the palace from its makeover in Northern MI 😋 So nice to have an amp again

It’s always nice when you can kill 2 (or 5) birds with one stone. I just ended a 4 month work assignment (with zero days off), and REALLY needed a break. I’ve also been wanting to share some of what I saw during my prior assignment in CA with my family. My daughter has also always wanted to see the ocean. I wanted to see my great friend Tim ( @PhilDent )again, AND there was the issue of picking up a certain pair of NHT 2.9 speakers. So we rented a rig (free points) that would hold the NHTs and luggage, booked a hotel (more free points), and hit the road to CA Friday m

After some challenges, I have a functional system. The M-200t was randomly going into overload protection ended up being caused by the C1’s outputs were gunked up with excessive rosin. Did a thorough cleaning of all solder joints (alcohol and q-tips). Was thinking about using the wife’s ultra sonic tooth brush but thought better of it 😇 been over a month now with no overload so I’m going to say solved. had the TX-11 for years and it developed a left channel drop out, took it out of storage and found that the output jack board connection had cold solder joints. Re-flowed those and

I have been a fan of Carveer products since the early 80's when I purchased a M 1.0t I was so enthusiastic about Carver gear, when I was in Seattle on business, I drove to the Carver office in Lynnwood to see what the place looked like. I parked in Bob's parking stall (no one was there on a Sunday) I have a photo somewhere. Have admired Carver products from a distance however due to time constraints and financial constraints of raising a family music listening really got away from me and is one of my passions. Now I have time and some money, looking for a C or CT to drive my

I’m finally getting around to posting a picture of my gear. I’ll see if I can add a few more in the future but I’m having trouble sizing it appropriately.

This is a bit interesting to me. A few years ago, I completed a C1 BillD (mostly) modification. After that BillD mod, I tried matching that C1 with a few different amps\speakers that I have (all MOTL) and I couldn't find a good match. That C1 just sounded thin, and I just couldn't like it. I put it in the closet. Recently, I've acquired a m200t for repair and I bought it, since I'm a glutton for punishment and wanted a "matching' anthracite carver to match the C1. So, that repair happened and the m200t is now a happy amp. Of course, Covid homebound me is swapping a

Thank you for this valuable resource to keep the early engineering of Bob Carver alive and well and in addition, find ways to improve upon greatness as technology advances. I remember being 7 or 8 and visiting my aunt and uncle in their newly built home (aunt was an architect) in Litchfield, CT and seeing and hearing the Carver gear my uncle had. I knew that I would one day have this kind of rugged and powerful audio gear in my collection. Fast forward 20 years and ebay on the scene and I purchased a C1, M1.0t, and later a C-4000. Still have them but need to repair/upgrade the C1 and C-4000 an

Hello, my name is Paddy and im from Germany in Mannheim. on my adventure trough many Speakers and Amps i came across my first Carver device, a C9 holographic generator. After importing it from the US, converting it to 220V i had something i just read in Forums or heard someone talk about it. Interessting device. i tried recreating it first with digital DSP's (sigmastudio) based on the patent but after comparing my results to the original it was nowhere near close. carver stuff has something to it.. i dont know what. i like it. after restoring a M1.5T for Friend, i got

What a priviledge it was to spend some time with Tim and Mark. As I said to Mark after meeting, if i could wish for anything it would be that all of us Carversite guys could actually spend some time with each other like we just did. The online thing is really really fantastic but what would it be like if we could find a way to be together locally if possible. Tim was so very kind to host to provide this opportunity for Mark and I. And damn does he have a nice setup!!!!! Damn, that was one unforgetable tasty listening experience.

Found this site while researching some older Carver amps. Got my approval so here I am from Temecula CA. Looks like there's a fountain of knowledge residing here. After being stored away for the last 10 or 12 years I recently set up the Soundstream C-1 preamp I bought in 1990. Forgot how nice it was. Browsing the forums I see there are a few members familiar with the SS C-1. Listening to the C-1 for a couple weeks now I'm inspired to set up a separate audio system for my vinyl and cd's. I'm looking for a power amp to pair with the C-1. Seems the DA-1 is pretty sca

Cabanatuan City, North of Luzon, Sometimes flood gets waist deep inside the house. . . its traumatic. . . i was intrigue with the idea of eliminating cabinet resonance, so that the power the amplifier fed the speaker specially the sub or bass. . . will be delivered by the speaker without coloration (boominess or Suppressed when the audio is in phase or out of phase with the resonant freq of the cabinet). when constructing my house way back then . . there are some unused cabinet marble about 3/4 of an inch thick. . I built a plywood cabinet (3/4in thick) and using epoxy i pa

Thanks sir Andrew. . . I use that EQ to tweak a little the audio to my liking choose setting on programmed audio levels. . . I listen at moderately loud level . . . sound very nice for my taste. . .get me through this pandemic a bit relaxed. . . yes. . Still stock M-1.5t . .

Well never had this happen. I was testing each channel with speakers using Banana plugs, channel one would not produce sound. With a fair amount of switching things around I noticed I got a bit of audio momentarily on the channel. So I started schecking for loose connections. I notice the terminals were not screwed in and decided to just connect speaker to binding posts without banana plugs and it works fine. Just loose terminal. After that I screwed them in and tested with Banana plugs and all works, what a relief.

"Besides being among the greatest musicians ever known- Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Hiromi, John McLaughlin, Branford Marsalis, Zakir Hussain, Mike Stern, Gary Husband, Simon Philips, Wayne Krantz and Steve Lukather all have something else in common. At one time or another, these legendary artists have counted on the supportive, melodic and propulsive bass playing of the amazing Tony Grey. Artists of such stature, virtuosity and high standards do not trust just anybody to hold down the foundations of their music. They seek out the best for live performances and recordings. Time and time aga

I have a DBX 3BX-DS, A Sony Equalizer SEQ-333ES (rare), Yamaha Stereo, 31 Band EQ Q2031, Sony STRD 4ES Receiver, Sony 5 Disc SACD player in my 2 Channel stack. Waiting for the C-16 to come so I can replace the Sony with that and my 1.0t that has been sitting for years, hopefully it still works.

Usually doing the strip-bar circuit on our snowmobiles, but not this year. Guess I have to make it to 58!

Thank-you for all the well wishes and the warm welcome. The journey begins, I just bought a C-16 and a TX8 so we will see how they do. Totally prepared to have to recap the C-16 given its age. Anyone know where there is a list of parts required or mods for that unit. I have looked around the site, still figuring it out. Sounds like this BiiD guy was the bomb, sorry I missed him. Anyone know who services these in British Columbia. After COVID, I will be able to deal with this stuff from my place in Blaine, WA where it is reasonable to ship to and from. I picked t

Hi all joined this site to find info. I have a few vintage audio pieces. But no carver. I am looking for anyone that might have a power switch or suitable replacement for a CT - 6

Hey - thanks to all. I feel guilty because I haven’t been here much lately but it is most appreciated. I’ll try to do better. All is well here although I was laid up for a couple few days with back issues which is not all that uncommon. Been listening to quite a bit of music and am glad to report that I got two cassette decks plugged back into the system after almost three months in a local repair shop with a 10-12 week backlog. (Yes, my 4Runner handles both CDs and cassettes) Glad Hurricane Season is over after several near misses and a direct hit. Hope all is well with every

I also have some spares if you need them.

I’m impressed with my new addition of a mxr-130 I like that I have more control over the music compared to the pioneer I had been using I’ve noticed more clarity and better tone

I just had a reply for a CT-26v AV preamp/tuner. So maybe I am looking no more. lol

Yes it was. And my wife is always up for a road trip. lol

This could be investigated technically, but it seems people are more inclined to the assessment of their ear. Properly understood, all the loading really does is adjust the frequency response of the TT output, particularly in the high frequency range above 10kHz. Setting the load resistance too high will cause a spike in high frequencies right before the 20kHz roll off. This will create a shrill sound. Setting too low will cause a gradual roll off at about 8-10kHz, which will sound muddy or muffled. Starting at 100ohms for the Denon means going up to 470ohms will have
