Forgot to ask, are both channels distorted?

I use this online program for a tone generator and just run a 3.5 mm to RCA cable from computer to testing device. https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ I also found this article good for ideas of troubleshooting distortion; https://sound-au.com/troubleshooting.htm#most3

Are the main PS caps 71V 8200uF? If so, I have used ; https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/Nichicon/LKSH2822MESB?qs=Ysb%2FBSeDKl2fVpBbD5gyQw%3D%3D for HR752 and CM1090 and HR895 I am no expert. If your receiver is distorted all of the time now, I would put your scope at the output and see what it looks like. Maybe put 1000 hz signal in. I recently repaired a distorted NAD 3020. The output sine wave was only distorted when I had an 8 ohm dummy load connected. Turned out to be a bad output transistor. I always do all of my testing through a dim bulb tester. I am sure others can offer better advice.

Welcome to the Carver site Cornflake. Lots of information to read.

Is that Mickey Mouse in the center of the picture?

Glad you found the problem Charlie. There's always something........... Most excellent project!

I like Mark's choice. My dad bought that Kingston Trio album when he was in University. My folks haven't had a turntable for, oh, about 35 years but I have the records and that Kingston Trio record is one of my favourites.

Three sets of giant speakers, a Marshall stack, and a 20 foot python..... ......Any neighbors left Steve?

Ladies and Gentleman......... SteveFord. Hey Steve, I would like to see some close up and sloped pictures of your Sonic Frontiers and deHavilland preamps..

Open the CarverSite! bay doors please HAL.

Welcome TJ. The C1 preamp is relatively easy to work on IMHO. I think that you would be fine starting with that rather than trying to recap an amplifier. The C1 solder pads are kind of delicate so you have to be careful with iron temperature and duration. Find some old junk PCB to practice on first.

Welcome to the forum Blueprintt.

Welcome gkml. I'm glad you followed the link that i sent to you on CAM.

Welcome corkdust. Good to see another 895 owner.

Not sure if this one counts or not but;

Clue # 2 if there is anyone out there who wants to play

Next up;

Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks. I would encourage someone new to post one. We need more people involved in this game.

Gee thanks.

Uncle

you are on the right track

Until Receiver2000 comes back, I'll post this one; (try not to get it in less than one minute......Kevin.)

OK. The correct answer was, for sure, A7 with an open E bass. Clearly you are on edge due to gear separation anxiety.
