Hi, My dad bought some Carver stuff back when I was about 10 years old and now I have some of it in my living room as a 43 year old. I am currently utilizing the HR772 and 90% of the time it is working great. Occasionally though, it will turn off a few seconds after powering up. I have it powering some Hafler Model 400 towers. I also have a Hafler DH 500 but it is giving me some trouble too. Dad used the HR772 to run some JBL L36s for a while, then the Hafler Model 400s. He borrowed a couple of my Kenwood L-07ms for a bit and then we found a DH 500 for him. When using the DH 500, he used the HR 772 as his preamp. This was my intention when I inherited them, but the DH 500 needs some work. In the meantime I have been using the HR772. Now it is giving me some trouble. I am mechanical engineer by trade and am comfortable with tools and can brush up a bit to read some electrical schematics, but make no claims to be an electronics expert. I have a Dim Bulb Tester that I built a while back, but haven't plugged it into the Carver yet. I have a soldering iron as well. I also am open to recommendations on shops if that seems like a better route. I live in Atlantic Beach FL (basically Jacksonville). Thanks in advance for any direction. Grace and peace, Ben

Hi Folks, I'm simply trying to replace some of my vintage gear lost through divorce... I live in Northern Indiana (Warsaw, between South Bend and Fort Wayne) and am hoping to find someone who can do the Bill D upgrade for me when I buy another C-1 off of eBay or Facebook. I don't mind driving a couple hundred miles to deliver it and then pick it up. Of course it would be be really nice to find one for sale that already has the Bill D upgrade, but chances of that are slim! If anyone knows of someone within driving distance (or someone that I can ship it to) that can do the upgrade for me I would be most grateful. Thanks so much, Tom

Welcome and good luck on the repair.

Welcome @Benjaminsswanson, glad you found us. Post some pics with the cover off, as @4k, suggested. Someone may see something.

This looks like an interesting site to learn from. Thanks for having me

Hello all! I hope you're enjoying the Carversite! and all it has to offer. The current Administrators are: wrf - Lead Administrator Nahash5150 - Tech Staff AndrewJohn - Community Administrator The current Moderators are: Sk1bum - Chief Global Moderator An Administrator's job is to protect the community. Admins also assign medals/badges, approve new arrivals, organize the boards, moderate threads, assign roles, maintain the database, enforce the rules, and manage complaints. They also present ideas to the leadership for possible implementation. The Lead Administrator sets the agenda and the rules and manages all the Member Groups. The Community Administrator keeps the information organized, performs regular tasks, and manages the Moderators. Moderators keep the boards safe and fun. Moderators are not here to stifle free-speech, arm-twist or intimidate participants. They ensure that threads are kept organized and remain on-topic, and as active participants themselves, preserve the spirit of the community. Moderators, like the Admins, are here for you so that you feel welcome to share and participate without the worry of being harassed or flamed for it. If you have just signed up, then you are Inbound rank. You have limited access and you can't upload files yet. In order to advance to basic membership, you need over 6 positive reputation points. Reactions, such as 'thank you' to your content increase your positive reputation. There are three basic member Roles: Novice Member Resident A Novice is new to the forum. They have limited access but can participate in the most popular forums such as Way Offscale and The Chain. In order to advance to Member, we expect a certain amount of activity to evaluate their willingness to be a part of the community. The post count required to advance to Member is 20. A Member is considered an active participant. They have nearly full access to the site and its resources, and can progress in rank and earn medals by sharing their experiences in the audio world with the Site. As time goes on, a Member can eventually become a Resident or play a role as part of the Administration. A Resident is a highly active member who calls this place 'home' and acts as a council member with the Administration. Residents are participants who are willing to take on the challenge of discussing site policies and provide the site with valuable resources - such as funds, time and talents. Greatly concerned for the site's well-being, Residents work hard to welcome new 'inbounds', encourage participation by starting topics of interest - and offer Karmas, skills and knowledge to all who visit. There are two consequential Roles: Retired Sandbox A Retired Member is a participant who has either shown a disinterest in the community but has not violated the rules, or one who has 'moved on' and no longer wishes to be an active member. This is not a disdained Role, but a Role for members who for one reason or another, do not wish to be part of the community's growth (for example). Retirement is a friendly, mutual agreement between the administration and the member. Retired members have limited access. When a participant is Sandboxed, they have violated the forums rules. A warning is always issued before a participant is Sandboxed. If the warning is ignored, and participant continues to break rules or cause trouble - an Administrator, with the consent of the Moderators, will curtail their activity for an indefinite amount of time. Removal of the Sandbox status can only be done by the Site Owner or Administrator. This forum has a lot of options for you to find information, participate, and organize how you read and keep up with activity. Remember that you can do the following: - Follow a Topic (so that if anyone posts to it, you are notified) - Follow a Member (so that you are notified of Status Updates and more) - Post a Status Update (a personal message for your friends that is public access) - Send Private messages - View Activity according to date, member, or topic (check 'Activity' in the top menu) - Post pictures and even create a gallery (Novice or above rank) - Share links, videos and files - Browse technical Manuals, white papers and spec sheets And so much more! Our goal is to maintain a site that is welcoming, helpful, courteous and fun. With audio and Carver as our common ground, we wish to stay focused on the music, and all the creativity that results. Have a great day! Hashy

Hi everyone, Here is a link to a new processor that seems very similar to sonic holography. In fact, it seems to me that this is using almost the same verbiage Bob used when describing SH. How is this not infringing on Bob's tech? https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/bacch4mac-short-review-first-impressions.39494/
