  4. I have a Denon-103 cartridge. Where do I find info on cartridge loading? Or does anyone know off the top of your head what it needs to be set at. I'm playing with my fresh Nelion recapped Sunfire vtcc with a sweet new Nelion phono board. The options are 22, 47, 150, 470, 47k. I'm going to make a post with pics and give a review coming up soon.

  6. A post on theartofsound.com says 10x cartridge resistance is the usual starting point. Denon-103 is 40 ohms, so 400 would be the starting point. The original poster in that thread said his came to life at 1K ohms. https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?62918-Denon-DL-103-impedance-load Though there is a bit of disagreement in the thread.

  7. Bob Dylan's Desire has been released on Mobile Fidelity Super Vinyl. 45 RPM, 180 gram, double album. It's a bit pricey at 74.99, but the pressing is limited to 1000 copies. I think it will double in value soon after the 1000 copies are sold. It's out of stock already on the Mobile Fidelity website, but their sister retail outlet, Music Direct still has copies in stock. https://www.musicdirect.com/vinyl/Bob-Dylan-Desire-(Numbered-45RPM-180G-Super-Vinyl-2LP)

  13. hi group I am new here but an old Carver fan picked up this AV806x on Ebay as is , 150 , three channels dead probably 4 , rca's & spkr terminals bashed / bent but all else looks original inside , I can buy new boards for any of the 5 slave modules but not the master which of course is bad this board has all the connections for the RC5 remote and that multi pin controller connection which I don't need or any bridging this master has extra components onboard at the rear however other than that it seems pretty similar to the slaves wondering if I could just replace the master w a new slave , ...? a bit concerned that it may not work ...as in the slaves will be looking for a master ...? the next option is to rebuild the whole board , I have read of a few other members having trouble sourcing caps that fit etc ....if anyone has thoughts about this it will be mighty appreciated thanks Bernie

  14. So is it determined that the board from the Marantz MA500 would work in the AV-806x? I have one with channel one not working

  15. Anybody know if there is a service center that in the Houston area that could service Carver amps? Maybe even do the MKII upgrades for my M-1.0t ? Any pointers on some things to look for before on my AV-806x before sending for service? Channel one does not seem to put out any sound.
