Hello All I just Purchased a MXR-130 receiver and a Sunfire 300x2. The MXR will power a pair of Polk SDA-2Bs and then use it's pre-outs to the Sunfire, which will power another pair of Polk SRS SDA 3.1 TLs. Looking forward to enjoying this setup for years to come. 😎 I already reached out to Nelion to get the Sunfire scheduled for an overhaul. I'm not sure about the MXR though... It's in pretty damn good condition.

Hey guys! My name is Danny and I've been a carver fan for a lot of years. I recently got an A500X and really don't know much of how to work on them. I am hoping to browse your guys posts and hopefully figure this out and maybe find out where to get parts! Thank you!

Hi All, I found this site when I bought a partially functional PM600 with the aim of learning more about the amps and possibly fixing it. My history with Carver amps is I bought a Carver 1.5t and later a C4000 preamplifier when I left university in the late 80s, to drive my JBL L112s. These are largely the cause of my poor hearing in both ears now. Nowadays I have ME amplifiers and Duntech speakers as the main hi-fi but I am very interested in getting the PM600 going and watching those LEDs dance. One channel works (sort of) and I was hoping to debug it a little more with some hints from members of this site. I have a dual channel CRO and a Electronics degree (but not much practical experience). Just having had a bit of fun in my sparse spare time finding out how the amplifiers work (with the triac driving the transformer) from the service manuals. I also now realise just how old these amplifiers are now.... time moves on quickly! And I ain't getting any younger either.

Here it is.. It looks better inside than out

Currently in Amplifiers / amp repair with a picture. I meant to put it under Amplifiers / amp repair / pro series repair but something went wrong..

the size of the content in the post should not be any more than 1.0mb. This includes text and pictures. @Sk1Bum I think this is still current. I usually edit my pictures to about 500kb or less. This picture started out as a 2.7 MB file. Transferd it from my phone to my laptop and used a photo editor to reduce it to 439kb. Might be able to change the resolution on the phone so it only takes smaller pictures. Hope this helps.
