Hi everyone, I am new to Carver. My father passed away a few years ago, and my mom a few weeks ago. So my wife and I have moved into my inherited family home where my father had a Carver HR-742 stereo receiver that was still in the house. Since the movers dropped my Kenwood stereo receiver, I've just hooked up the carver to my office computer sound system, where it is currently driving a pair of JBL Control 1x bookshelf speakers. These little speakers would probably benefit from a sub, and I happen to have one handy, but I don't see a subwoofer output on the back of the HR-742. Can anyone suggest a good way to hook up the sub? The right channel seems to be quite noisy too, so I'm interested in hearing thoughts on what might be causing that and how to fix it. Thanks!

Good Morning .. Hello new friends, joining today after pulling my old CT-6 and TFM-15 from the garage, great to be enjoying again after about 30 years. Needed some refurb work which was done by George Meyer here in L.A. but sounds great and happy. Have new speakers arriving today and excited. I have been out of this world for about 30 years so a lot of new things to learn (I’m behind on speakers) but glad to see the old too, and happy the carver is still great. I was 18 when I last used this system, so budget was Energy RC-10 which are toast now. So I tried sonus faber lumina II amator, not enough. I now have Revival Audio Atalante 3 coming today. Excited to try those. I do like the technological breakthrough of the wiim ultra which lets me bring the entire world of music to my carver, very different from 30 years ago. Of course, the button cap on the ct-6 is missing. Wondering if anything developed after some of the old threads I found. Someone at my office has 3D printing capabilities and could print for me if we had the file. I’d be happy to make a few extra. Nice to meet you all. Mark.

Have a C500 that I run hard and a 4000 preamp that is a basket case. Just here to learn more, and maybe share some of my experiences.

WELCOME!
