I got pretty excited about the Outlaw and reviewed it in some detail (I read the manual). I don't know why in 2020 a unit would not have the ability to change the source name that ends up being displayed? The sources are defined as "cable/sat, disc, game, media, server, and aux". I don't have any of those (maybe DISC?, maybe media?) My Yamaha AV receiver is 10 years old and allows the names to be changed ... "Apple TV, Blu-ray, Roku, Firestick" are easily understandable. This simple oversight would be a non-starter for me, disappointing because the unit looks pretty good otherwise.

@loner_t thanks for this link. I'm in the same boat as PhilDent so following this thread to see where it leads. Im going to look into the Outlaw in more detail. Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for ... need to review the detail.

@Nahash5150 - ya I had a early morning brain fart with this one. I typed your name with all lower case and the list came up with "Nahash5150" so I thought - yup that's who I want and just continued on like it was correct. As @Brian_at_HHH points out, it was almost off the screen, mostly covered by the info bar on Chrome. If I had closed that bar, I might have proceeded differently ... but probably not. Thanks.

Not to mention the "Pinkie Pie" Variant colored vinyl .....

Doubt this is off the beaten path? I know there was a recent remake, but I just don't think it could possibly compare. No desire to see it. I bought this movie on DVD about 12 years ago. I'd seen it several times over the years, but wanted to see it again. I used to watch a lot of movies with my kids, mostly Disney and the like. Youngest was probably about 10 at the time. They wanted to watch it so .... OK. They sat thru the entire movie - loved it .... it's 2.5 hours long.

For me "Shooter" is one of those movies that I stop to watch if I happen across it while scrolling thru the stations. Stop every time and watch whatever is left. I'd guess others do this as well (with different movies). Shooter is somehow on this list for me. Not sure why?

Not a big Tom Cruise fan but this is a good one.

Yup - me too. Clever ploy by HBO ..... start a really good series a few weeks before GOT is over for the season (or over for good). Keeps people subscribed that might otherwise cancel ..... at least for a little while longer.

Welcome Bradrock. Sorry you missed out.

Welcome. Should be able to DIY. You will need a decent soldering iron and some good solder wick, plenty of it if you're going to do a power supply recap. I sometimes use a manual solder sucker for the large solder joints, but these tend to leave solder fragments lying around. Figure out ALL of the parts you need and order them in one buy if possible. Mouser and Digikey charge $8 shipping, Mouser has a Fedex 2 day option for that price, Digikey does not. Lots of good resources on this site.

Happy Birthday Ken!!!

Always enjoyed content and quality of this recording.

Excellent! Consider changing out the elecrolytics, you wont regret it. In my experience the dual caps almost always have issues given their age, the large caps are next, followed by the smaller ones as outlined by @Turbo The duals are a challenge to remove and require patience. Sounds like you have the tools and skills ... but take your time with these. Working inside a 1.5 involves many obstacles, but still fun.

Just for clarification, I'm referring to the same cap as Turbo. I had the PM1.5 schematic open and it's C35 on that amp, but appears to be C1 on a m1.5t. I literally pulled this cap out on one amp without a soldering iron.

The input capacitor can get cold solder joints. It's the big one on the top right of the amp, C35. Green or brown. Wiggle it - might be loose. BillD is a good project if you like to tinker on the bench.

Welcome. M1.5t cap mods require a bit of patience as it can be a challenge to remove the dual caps (8 solder points each). The rest of it is straightforward. The C-1 could possible be the easiest to work on out of all of the Carver gear.

When you get to Chitlins Con Carne, turn it up to 11!

My daughter bought me this in vinyl. Very good. Almost Famous soundtrack is probably my favorite.

Happy Birthday Barry!

Cables don’t make a difference.... Synthetic Oil or Dyno? Which one should I put in my Car/Motorcyle/Boat/RV/Lawnmower........

The efficiency of FLAC makes it work best for me.

Thats a good song that I haven't listened to in many many years - thanks for bringing it up. I'm currently setting up a low end system in my sons basement. Mostly for sports and gaming. I always include Steely Dan's two against nature DVD as reference material. It's well produced in general. The DTS track has a lot of surround content at higher than normal levels. At times there is a high level of instrumental segregation - like the center chan might only have a drum. Not always to my liking but it's a good test of each speaker in a 5.1 setup, the stereo track is excellent as well. Higher listening levels never make me fatigued.

I joined up about 6 months ago but never got around to posting. Lots of really good on this site. Thanks! I really want to get back into it, so here goes. I don't have a fancy system, but I am afflicted with the disease as follows: Main system: m1.5t for mains m200t bridged for center channel m200t for surrounds Sunfire HRS 10" sub (basically a Sunfire Dominator D-10 with gloss finish) Bedroom: m1.5t Sunfire HRS sub Workbench/Office: Carver C-2 Preamp (just so I don't have to plug ipod directly into whatever I'm playing with on the bench) m1.0t (inverting) I'm on the list to get the m1.0t upgraded (nahash). I'd like to get this done before I put it back in play, but growing restless. I'll probably do the caps myself and put it in place of one of the m1.5t, then do the caps on that ... and so on.... All of my units have the original caps. I'm finally ready to give them the attention they need. Thanks again for all of the great info and interesting posts. I hope to contribute in some way. Jeff.
