WELCOME Clayto!
The M1.5t, C-1 and SD/A 490t are a good combination!
Are you running the original factory tubes in the 490T...if so may want to think about upgrading them...
Also, there are outstanding Techs here if you need help restoring your other Carver components.
WELCOME mphsneon!
What amp are you using with the CM-1090?
You can obtain a Carver Z-1 Wide Band Z Coupler device and be able to use both the
CM-1090 amp section and an outboard amp....
Welcome Turbo1!
We all started with just one piece.
Looking forward to see how your OCCD progresses...
A TX-12 AM/FM Tuner and SD/A 490t CD player sure would go nice with that CM-1090...
WELCOME!
You came to the right place if you love Bob Carver gear.
Many excellent techs and knowledgeable members here...all nice people.
C-1 and M-1.5t are excellent choices.
Tell us about your system, your future system plans, musical tastes, etc.
Great looking stack!
What tube amp are you getting...Carverfest 275?
You'll love the tubes...but they are addictive.
Myself...I'm partial to Carver /Polk (SDAs).
Welcome to the forum Chas.
Sorry to hear the "magic smoke" escaped from your C-4000 preamp....
You might try contacting our member @Bonzoro as he seems to be the go-to tech
for the C-4000s.....hope you get it running again soon.
