Haha Yea, that’s what I thought! I suppose there are worst things in life then having OCCD! ?

Wow!! Thanks for the warm welcome guys!!! ? OCCD is right! Glad there’s a support group for it!! Drummer Juice- cool idea on bi-amping with the Carvers. Is your m1.0t Mkii’ed? My m1.5t developed a weird pop-pop-popping sound that used to happen for a few seconds on startup, but is now continuous. That’s part of the reason I went hunting for the m1.0t. I hope to tackle that issue and get her playing again at some point too.

Thank you Sk1Bum and Balok! Yes, I agree a refurb is definitely in order. Especially since I plan on keeping this amp rocking another 30 years! Just starting to learn my way around the forum and all the great info on audio in general.. not just Carver products. Guys, What would be a good starting point to start studying the parts and procedures for the Mkii upgrades? Is there a fairly current parts list or BOM for the M1.0T that someone could point me too?

Just wanted to say a BIG Hello everyone! What a great community of Carver lovers I've discovered here! I myself have been a fan of Carver gear for many years, starting with a killer M1.5T that was my first "grown-up" amp! Next I played with a C-9 Sonic Holography machine. And, a owned a pair of platinum Amazings in gorgeous Piano Black. Well friends, my latest Carver score is... Drum Roll!...... A mint condition M1.0T! And by the serial number it seems to be a late production (non-inverting) unit. The Amp seems all original with not a spec of dust or any signs of heat or heavy use. It sounds great as-is but after reading all the stories of how fantastic it can be with the MkII Opt.2 upgrades, I've decided that I would like to take it in that direction. I have some experience in the DIY realm troubleshooting/fixing components and building a FirstWatt F5 last year. But, I am in no way an expert and will surely have many newbie questions along the way
