Welcome to the Carver Site!! Love your list of gear and I do know that there are other Carver related items that you can add to enhance your listening pleasure. So that list can grow!! The RTR, is of interest along with the Dual TT. My new TT is based on a older Dual design. RTR's are always of interest and I wish I never got rid of mine. So it would be nice to see pictures of your gear. Enjoy the journey!! And again Welcome!!

@DTS I suggest that you go to "The Welcome Shop" and start a new Thread and repost your information in a new unique post that will identify you. That way you will be seen by more members and get the "Likes" required to advance from inbound to Novice. With 5 or more likes you then will be able to post pictures of your all your gear. @Sk1Bum

Check out page 52. Its about a simple Hafler hookup. NOTE!!! IT DOES CAUTION ABOUT USING THE FURNISHED HOOKUP WITH A CARVER AMP. IT MAY SENSE THE CONNECTIONS AS A SHORT AND SHUTDOWN. https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-HiFI-Stereo/80s/HiFi-Stereo-Review-1982-07.pdf The SCA-80Q that I mentioned has the controls built in to accomplish the balancing when you are using four speakers.

Welcome to the Carver Site, and welcome fellow Air Force Veteran. Love the listing of equipment, in particular the R2R. I was stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base as part of a long term TDY detachment with C-130s Thank you for your service!!

Welcome to the Carver Site!! @Sk1Bum gave you some very very very good search locations. I particularly like the one for the preamps, and especially the US Audio Mart one for the amps. It not only has your m-200t (give a best offer) but a nice selection of 275 tube amps. Very VERY tempting for the 275 tube amps. I love mine, and had two others on loan from my son. They are great sounding amps. Ask Greg about converting the binding post on the 200t that is shown in that search. The journey starts now, and will be rewarding as it continues. Wish you the best!!

The mention of a second set of speakers made me remember when I was running dynaco equipment. They had a unit,SCA-80Q, which "enables Dynaquad 4-dimensional playback". Along with your front speakers you wired a set of rear speakers to give you that "4-dimensional playback".

Welcome aboard, Sir!! and Welcome to the Carver Site!! Nice TT, 6-pound glass platter, threaded record clamp, and a Goldring cartridge. No better combination to spin those classical records with. Maybe introduce a few Jazz and Blues related tunes? When I was in the service my last duty station was at Langley AFB working and flying on C-130's. Thank you for your Service!!

Welcome to the Carver site!! Glad you found us. Good luck with your repair.

Welcome to the Carver Site!! Wish you the best in getting the Sunfire fixed.

@DMRECONE Coupled with your finding in your above post and using a search on your image I hit on this. It might have a chance of being "the chip" and I don't know how to proceed after this. 【Naxin Electronics】Original imported R5F211B4SP C1B4 microcontroller MCU microcontroller chip power supply IC_ Huwo Tao

Maybe use these pages as a starting point for your quest for information. https://sunfire.com/products/subwoofers https://www.niceforyou.com/na/solutions/audio-solutions

Welcome to the Carver Site! A Sunfire piece of equipment is a nice start and I'm sure more Carver gear will follow. Enjoy

Welcome to the Carver Site!! If I'm not buying new I would look for models that have a good service community to take care of the age concerns. Luckily one such vendor, and a site member @Nahash5150 , has the abilities to not only service it and extend the life, but has options to increase the power for some models. His link was given above. I would take a look at the page below to help determine which amps I would be going after, and what kind of upgrades are available for it. Surely the M 1.5t with the mkII upgrade will give you possibly the kind of power what you need. In that description you see mention of the PM1200. That opens up having a place to restore the 1201 you are looking at. Nothing worse than buying an amp that nobody wants to work on. https://nelionaudio.com/index.php?/services.html/carver/carver-amplifiers/
