Yes, please start a new thread. Also, it helps if you tells us a little bit about your skill level. The service manual is in our database HERE . The values for the power supply capacitors are shown in the schematic. It is always best to look at the capacitors in the unit before you order. There are often differences between the schematic and the actual unit on your workbench. You also need to measure diameters, heights and lead spacing. The power supply of the CT-17 runs hot so it is wise to use 105C caps.

Listening to a bunch of Traffic over the last few days; Walking in the Wind - Traffic This sounds good on real stereo but kind of crappy on computer speakers.

Welcome.

Good to see you back Harryfan. What have you been up to?

Hey Mr. M-500t! Good to see you back. I am from the old days. Are you still making the risers? "Ya we tease him a lot, cuz we got him on the spot, welcome back"

Is your ultimate receiver a l or a ll? The later ones used inferior capacitors. Likely a change after Bob Carver sold the company. Sending the unit to Nelion is a good idea. The receivers are difficult to work on yourself

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the Carver site. Lots of us are not true techs but still enjoy working on our stereo equipment

Dexter Gordon. GO.

Welcome to the forum. The HR895 came out in 1992 (not 1982 , typo?). I've had mine since 1999. Nice unit. Crackling sound is often caused by bad pre-driver transistors. A relatively easy fix. Hopefully you can get it up and running again. If you have any problems, be sure to post them on the forum first.

6 hour drive to visit my folks. So you know what I did? That's right. 6 more hours of live Grateful Dead. Tidal to FM transmitter deal via Bluetooth and then to truck radio. What an age we live in.

Completed 6 straight hours of live Grateful Dead from the Europe 1972 tour on Tidal and it still wasn't enough. Seriously good solos by Jerry in this version of Goin' down the road feelin' bad.

The service manual is in the database. it will list the values of those resistors; https://thecarversite.com/manuals/mandir/Carver HR-722 service manual.pdf

Welcome to the forum. My first thought would be a dirty input level potentiometer. You could try spraying the pot with some fader lube and rotating the input level knob several times. See if that gets rid of the static.

They must have had smoother roads back in the '50s.
