Thank you for your service.

Hello Kurt and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! We have a file available HERE that lists CD belt sizes. I've never owned a Carver CD player, but I have replaced a belt on a Pioneer and a Yamaha. It was my experience with both of those that the belts were pretty generic, and you just needed to get the right size. Once you click or tap the HERE, that will take you to a page where you can download the belt size pdf file. As for getting the receiver recapped, Nelion Audio is my choice. The owner is the head tech guru for this site too. You can contact Nelion Audio through https://www.nelionaudio.com or drop them an email at support@nelionaudio.com I hope that helps.

Carolyn Lee Jones, Eklektika was released on June 15, 2026. "Ms. Jones’ style is taking vintage standard jazz tunes and cabaret material, incorporating Latin grooves and reimagining arrangements, then tossing in a few original songs for good measure. She refreshed them all with her singular, easy-listening style and warm charisma." You can read the rest of the review here...

Hello Ray, and welcome to thecarversite.com Glad you found us! I can't answer your questions, but I'm sure more information about your sub would help. Does it have L/R inputs and outputs, does it have its own power amp, make/model, that sort of thing. I've never owned a Carver Receiver, and I'd never seen one until last week. I have Carver preamps, and I hook the powered subs I have up to the second set of outputs. If your sub isn't powered, that should work for you. If your sub is powered, I don't know if that's wise or not. I'm not much help, and hopefully someone who's more experienced with Carver Receivers will have the answers you seek.

There's currently an HBO documentary about Earth, Wind & Fire: Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs. That's the Weight of the World. I've not watched it yet, but it has a 100% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes web site.

TajMo has a nice take on this too.

Ohmigosh, I just now noticed, the Polk Atrium 8s are $185.25 each. I thought that price was for a pair until just a few minutes ago.

Hello m68e3 and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! There are some very talented folks that hang out here, and there are many threads about the M1.0t and M1.5t amps. Both are very popular here. There are also threads about upgrading and modifying both amps. I hope you find what you're looking for. We do have the owner's and system manuals for both of those amps in the Manuals and Specsheets area. The link is at the top of the page or you can use this one: https://thecarversite.com/carvermanuals/

I have to say the WiiM Ultra is the best bang for the buck I've purchased since getting a working M-500t for $120 on eBay. I've ended up with 3 WiiM Ultras, and I got them all at the current price.

Nice choice of album art!

Hello Alfred and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! The M-500t is my favorite Carver amp. So musical, and those sexy meters...

My records are stored more like case #2, but no legs, and 4 vertical levels. I would love to have a room with record storage running at least 10-12' and 2 levels with wood or granite countertop for components.

The factory refurbs are $329 at Amazon.

That's as good of a price as I've seen.
