Good Day to all; Just joined up a few weeks ago. Introducing myself as the Old Man (and I am). I've had Carver gear for a long time now, since it was new as a matter of fact. Started buying the gear when I got out of the Air Force in 74. One of my friends had an amp and I really liked the sound of his system. I own a few now. Ive got a C500, with a C4000 preamp. I also have a M200t on the bench right now doing some repairs to it (Thanks for the manuals!) I have a AVR100 that I love for my TV room with a DTL-200 player. Collect Vinyls and have a decent Rega P3 turntable. My C500 drives Polk ES60 column Speakers and Klipsch RP8000 for surround. Not the best of the best but better than these old ears can discern. Bit of a Jazz buff and a classical nerd so I need something decent. I just wanted to ring out to everyone here and say HI!

Hi there, I’m Granitetop, getting crotchetier by the day, as I am getting ready to start the last season of life, I realized how much I love music after going into a hi end stereo place. Having started as a young man, joining the AF, while stationed in Europe, Germany specifically, we had the coolest places to purchase the best stereo equipment of forever. Most of you know this if you were in during the 70’s, 80’ and early 90’s, all that equipment was top of the line and Made in Japan, speakers were mostly American. We were a group called AMMO (ordinance), we all had beautiful stereos but not really knowing what we had, I bought a Carver HR-752 before leaving Germany. I had other stuff Altec 14’s Yamaha CD player like CD X-1…. Fast forward now, my AMMO brothers, kept most of their equipment to this day and are able to repair their stuff and that what brings me here, the broken Carver HR-752. Ta Da

Hello all, I have been enjoying the sounds of my TFM 35 since 1993, replaced the lights a few times, gave up after that... didn't really need them. I have had the Carver powering my JBL L7's for the past 30 years and always loved the sound. Well the other day the Carver started to make a lot of static through both speakers. Seems it's kinda toasted, anybody know if it is worth it to repair. Cheers!

First and foremost, welcome to the site! Glad to have you here! Secondly, your TFM-35 is most definitely worth the repair. Look, it lasted 30 and brought you hours of listening pleasure. Get with Nelion (@Nahash5150). Greg can bring that thing back to life for you.

Looks like I'm late to this party, so, WELCOME rcdarcy! Glad you found us! I have a full SoundStream SystemOne going as a bedroom system, C-1, T-1, DA-1, R-1. Sounds great through ADS L-730 speakers. At last count I had 16 C-1's, 7 T-1's, 6 DA-1's, 5 DA-2's and a bunch of other stuff. I must ask, why are you ending your quest? What direction are you going in? While I'm not buying any more C-1's or T-1's, what are you asking? Just to help those here, that SoundStream gear is quite decent. They are both remote capable, the tuner only remote via the preamp, by the way.
