I have the 730's as well and love them... get the 910's if they are at a good price... They are hard to come by locally and u can always make space!

How about using these speaker protector things over the port? Are those foam surrounds on your Vega's. Never seen a graduated foam surround like this.

Ghrols Sound City? man that's too bad it does not sound good.. very surprising! I wonder what good albums have come out of his studio with that old huge board.

Ok.,, now I have Polk Audio envy disease... what more will this site give me? Welcome aboard and as others have stated.... you will fit right in hear with the rest of us wayward souls ...

Welcome to the Carver Site V.... very nice system!

Tending a website can be a major headache and thankless job. Thanks for keeping this site alive Greg!

Welcome Ron... good stuff around here.. enjoy!

Wow.. never heard of El-Casette... just googled it.. Looks like an interesting format.....

that's a good deck... some of the Sony's have loading (disc loading) issues and other physical switch problems. I don't think that one has any of those issues.

What model Sony player did ya get?

I was going to watch that show but missed it.. sure it will be on again. Joe's music is really not my cup o tea but, he is amazing... a true living icon. Surfing is a favorite among his fans and I do have a copy as well.

So for the 390t CD player, I took it apart and removed all the old grease and replaced. The sidewinder gear for the turntable was in fine shape but the noise it makes still remains as noted by another OP after he did the same clean up some time ago. I guess that I will just live with it. I really like the sound with the tube buffer. Onto the TFM-35... replaced all the caps and a couple toasty resistors. Sounds very good.. it had a bit of noise in the top end but that has all but vanished. Very happy with the outcome. CT-3... it started powering off/on so I went through it...just re-flowed the boards and it seems to be working fine now. Oh... last but not least... I will be receiving a new/used C1 today. What is the definition of addiction? How did I get here?

Yep... gonna try graphite with MOLYBDENUM as suggested in another posting on the issue.. hopefully that helps... It's weird though.. sometimes the CD roulette is quite in operation.. other times it sounds like shifting gears without using a clutch.. ugly sound

I should have dug a bit deeper on the carousel issue... found the info on taking it apart via this site. Sounds like these players can just be noisy when rotating.
