Welcome to the group. As you've seen, there are plenty of knowledgeable folks here who can offer you guidance on getting rid of that hum, though perhaps the amp just likes the music you're playing and is humming along... No eh? Sorry!!!! Trust the techie folks for the right advice, here.

Welcome to the group! There are lots of folks, here, who can assist you with issues, though I won't offer help, as I'm not sure which end of the soldering iron to hold... Good luck with things!

Welcome to the group - sounds like it's too late to warn you about the addictive nature of collecting Carver goodies!

Welcome to the asylum! Nice to have yet another fellow Canuck in the fray. Beautiful systems - you've got them well thought out and laid out. Here's hoping they get frequent and happy use!

M-m-m-maybe! I think my computer certainly was. Sorry about those - not sure w-w-what h-h-happened.

Duplicate post - sorry!

Pictures???? Or it didn't happen - to quote a friend, here!

That's about as classic U.H. as you can get. Feel like I just stepped back to the early 70's. Very cool!

Welcome to the site, Mark! Sounds like you are already in touch with the right person for the ribbons.

Welcome to the group! That IS quite the collection - congrats on it! You are certainly in the right place for info on maintaining or repairing equipment - Carver and others. There are lots of folks here who have a mass of knowledge, myself, unfortunately, not included (what are all those pretty components stuck on that circuit board?!?!?!). Join in the fun, and make sure you take time to enjoy the music!

Welcome to the group! You're obviously among those who know better, here. Those who make those claims haven't bothered (or aren't able) to understand how the technology in the Carver amps works, and they prefer to assume a good amp has to weigh as much as a small car to be good. I won't offer any advice on building or fixing (my knowledge on which end of a soldering gun to hold is iffy at best), but there are plenty of folks here who can help. In the mean time, you have my encouragement to dive back in and have fun, both at the build/fix end and at the all important - "it works, time to listen" end!

Wow - I think you should take another look - there has to be some major damage you haven't somehow noticed!!!! That's almost a "blind squirrel moment!" I'm glad they made it. Do we get to see what they are getting used for??? Inquiring minds want to know! And pictures!! There MUST be pictures!!!

Welcome Steve! Hope your neighbors love your taste in music! They're going to be hearing it, by the sounds of it - even if the nearest is a couple of miles away! Sounds like a great excuse for another sub. Tough choice to have to deal with! Good luck with it and let us know how it goes!

Welcome @tgoggans! Your dad, and now you, clearly had some great taste in gear! Not that the Sherwood was any slouch, either. Sounds like you have a nice setup, there - enjoy!!!! I can't offer much in the way of technical advice, but there are plenty of folks here who can offer advice or assist in fixing your components. I'll let the appropriate folks pipe up for that, but if they don't - ask, and someone will, or will direct you to Greg (Nahash5150) at nelionaudio.com .

Welcome to the group! I see the additive nature of Carver gear, already has it's hooks into to - too late to warn you about OCCD, so just embrace it and enjoy the ride! I'm not remotely technically inclined, though like many people here, I'm fascinated with it. As a result, I've watched many repair videos, including for the M400 series. They are a real challenge - it's very difficult to access the components to test anything in place, and it's a definite 3-D jigsaw puzzle to get it all back in that tight space. Just take your time, be patient, and don't let the beast get to you, and it'll work out great! Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the music!
