  1. Hello all. I am going to restore these and am looking to gain some knowledge.

  2. So, after using my my Denon Av 483 home theater system since I purchased it new in 2003 I decided it was time for an upgrade, which I did. Since this Denon has served me well for many many years, I thought "why not build a dedicated home hi fi setup around it??" which led me down the path of researching what components to choose. Talk about a rabbit hole! My first purchase was a set of Wharfdale Modus one.six speakers and a Carver TFM 35x amp (which was never used, brand new in the original box!). After researching the Carver, I am kind of fascinated at the man and the equipment. I am here to learn more and hopefully get some advice and knowledge!

  4. Hi Folks, I'm simply trying to replace some of my vintage gear lost through divorce... I live in Northern Indiana (Warsaw, between South Bend and Fort Wayne) and am hoping to find someone who can do the Bill D upgrade for me when I buy another C-1 off of eBay or Facebook. I don't mind driving a couple hundred miles to deliver it and then pick it up. Of course it would be be really nice to find one for sale that already has the Bill D upgrade, but chances of that are slim! If anyone knows of someone within driving distance (or someone that I can ship it to) that can do the upgrade for me I would be most grateful. Thanks so much, Tom

  5. Hi, My dad bought some Carver stuff back when I was about 10 years old and now I have some of it in my living room as a 43 year old. I am currently utilizing the HR772 and 90% of the time it is working great. Occasionally though, it will turn off a few seconds after powering up. I have it powering some Hafler Model 400 towers. I also have a Hafler DH 500 but it is giving me some trouble too. Dad used the HR772 to run some JBL L36s for a while, then the Hafler Model 400s. He borrowed a couple of my Kenwood L-07ms for a bit and then we found a DH 500 for him. When using the DH 500, he used the HR 772 as his preamp. This was my intention when I inherited them, but the DH 500 needs some work. In the meantime I have been using the HR772. Now it is giving me some trouble. I am mechanical engineer by trade and am comfortable with tools and can brush up a bit to read some electrical schematics, but make no claims to be an electronics expert. I have a Dim Bulb Tester that I built a while back, but haven't plugged it into the Carver yet. I have a soldering iron as well. I also am open to recommendations on shops if that seems like a better route. I live in Atlantic Beach FL (basically Jacksonville). Thanks in advance for any direction. Grace and peace, Ben

  14. Welcome @Benjaminsswanson, glad you found us. Post some pics with the cover off, as @4k, suggested. Someone may see something.

  15. Welcome Ben. The DH-500 is a very nice performing/sounding amp and if it were mine, I would definitely consider it worth repairing. And as @4krow pointed out, we have the service manual for the HR-772 here (up under the 'Manuals and Specsheets' pull-down at the top of the page), so worth downloading and reading through - particularly the references to the protection circuitry which will shut down the receiver in certain out-of-bounds conditions. It may give you a sense of what sort of repair effort might be required and if you feel comfortable getting into it. If not, there are a couple of good Carver repair sources available referenced throughout the forums. And a search here may also give you some good info from others servicing the HR-772.

  16. Welcome Ben, Always good to hear a story like that. What might help is for you to pop the top and show some good photos. That isn't automatically part of troubleshooting, but you are going to be headed there any way. I can't be certain, but we have a fairly extensive set of service manuals at this site and so that is a good place to start. You will meet some folks here that know a thing or two about this gear.
