Found this site while looking for info about a Carver pre amp and amp I just purchased.
They seem very well made but have a couple of issues so Ill be making a thread for some help  
 
It seems like a great resource and forum here ..
 
I am a middle aged kiwi guy who likes playing with audio gear 
 
Greetings all

Thanks for the welcome guys that's awesome!

Im also into my sansui and have a couple of nice old AU series amps

 

Recently I picked up an Av806x with a cv28t preamp

 

The 806x is in good shape but one of the channels makes really loud popping noises straight after starting up but goes ok after that.

I love how the individual amp boards can be unplugged and removed. I took the offending channel board out and have gone over it for bad solder joints to no avail as yet

 

The pre has really low output I have to turn the volume control to full for the amp to put out moderate volume with a cd player

 

Any helpful ideas to go about tracing the problems

would be really appreciated

Welcome Shamrock,

It's early summer in New Zealand now I suppose...would love to visit someday. BTW, I'm a big fan of your countryman, Burt Munro. Glad to have you here!

Welcome to the greatest audio site where most persuasive enablers congregate!yikes.gif
 
Be prepared to take the path from the basic cdp/tt>preamp>amp>speakers system to increasingly becoming complicated
 
and expensive gear like most people here have gone through. It's an abyss from which very few are able to escape
 
with their wallets still in their pockets!whatever_dude.gifeusa_naughty.gif
 
Just kidding!! I'm only being 90% truthful. happy0009.gifhappy0009.gifhappy0009.gif
