Hello everybody. I found an M–1.0t a at Goodwill a few years ago. Long before I had the confidence to work on it myself. It did not work so I sold it not working. Always wondering what I was missing out on. Well, last week I came across another one with a C1 preamp and tuner. It of course also didn’t work, but this time I am determined to fix it. So after some troubleshooting, I found that the PreDrivers were shorted on both channels preventing it from powering on all the way. I have since replaced those, it powered up all voltages were good. I set the Bias and have been listening all day. It sounds great and I’m glad I was able to find another one. However, I have a very loud pop in the speakers about 5 seconds after I switch off the amplifier. It seems that the longer it is powered on the louder the “pop” I have read the service bulletin about the the “turn on / turn off thump” and I’ve ordered the parts to complete the repair however, my question is, is THAT noise THE thump? I have heard amplifiers thump before, but this was a very loud pop. I wouldn’t describe it as a low. I have a hard time believing this “thump fix“ is going to take care of this. Also. this is a Non-inverting model Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

hello, I kinda fell into some Sunfire gear recently. I’ve been doing my best at using the resources available to me here on the carver site.com, but, as I’m sure you’re aware there are many similar models of most of these amps. my first DIY is to replace the lamp for the joules meter. I think I’ve found one on eBay, but I like to buy parts in multiples or bulk if possible. I can’t locate the specs for the lamp. I forgot to measure voltage when I had it open, and I can’t measure the milliamps at hand. I’ve found axial 12volt 100ma bulbs in bulk, the ones marketed towards Sunfire units are much pricier and sold singly. any info is greatly appreciated thanks

KORN Falling Away From Me

A friend turned me on to Louis Prima. Ever hear of him? Pretty crazy good stuff. I guess his Las Vegas recording is good too. Sounds to me that they are having a damn good time playing their music.

Was on quite a Coltrane kick a while back after my Chet Baker kick. Now on a Bill Evans kick. Doing all of these with tubes but the Coltrane stuff and detail somehow sounds better with SS.

Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. AI generated answer. I'm too lazy to dig up the disc. I'm playing the DSD files from my NAS. They sound great through the WiiM, 4000t, M500t mkII, the Martin Logans and SVS sub.

That dude could play!!! Have to also look up who the bass and piano guys were on that one. Thanks. Good one!!!!
