Hello all, hope everyone is well. Long time CARVER owner { SD/A-360 (sold), M-1.5T ( MKII - the works ), M-1.5t (pending forwarding for the works), SD/A390t ( pending refresh/updating) }. One time CARVER Manufacturer's Rep. employee - Atlantic Canada circa 1988. I have 2 questions regarding my 390t: 1. What make and model of base and transport is it based off of? 2. Is anyone aware of a Canadian ( US notwithstanding ) service shop qualified to do a top-notch refresh/update on this unit? Thanks in advance. Best Regards. Murray SMITH Port Williams, NS, CA.

Welcome to the forum, @Murray I fixed an SD/A 390t and posted a thread about it. In one of the last posts I added to the thread (scroll down) I noted a video I found of a Denon DCM 320, that showed the internals of that Denon to look identical to the guts of the SD/A 390t. Almost perfectly - EXCEPT Bob Carver added the tube buffer stage from the SD/A 490t in the space that was open in the Denon unit. Links to those YouTube videos are in that thread. I don't know anyone in Canada to refer you to - but a qualified tech that has experience with CDs should be able to fix it - and, yes, they are hard to find. The Service Manual is also in the Library here on TCS - and it is quite good and informative. Any shop you go to should reference it (download it for FREE). Have a look at my thread - see if the symptoms you have are the same..., they often are. I have fixed several of these, now, with this same fix. Good luck! That thread is here:

Ray Obiedo, Slight Accent was released on May 1, 2026. "Oakland, California-based guitarist and composer, Ray Obiedo has produced an album that’s simmering hot and spicy. It mixes Latin energy and contemporary jazz together in a rich musical stew. These arrangements and compositions tickle the taste buds and please the listener’s palate."

HI Murray and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us. I moved your post from Website Support to The Welcome Shop. Website Support is for technical issues regarding the website itself. The Welcome Shop is where most folks make their introductions. I wish I could answer your questions, but I've never owned a Carver CD player. I also don't know of any shops in Canada. Maybe someone with answers will chime in.

Hello everyone, I picked up a broken Carver 2000 and have made progress on repairing it. The current challenge is white noise out of the Left Channels. I cleaned both speaker relays but the static continues. I checked for bad solder joints and everything looks good. Any tips on what I can try next?

I'm 62, mechanical engineer and listen to hard rock, classical guitar. I owned a Carver CT-7 Preamp and loved it and had questions about Carver amps.
