Ct12 8 Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Hi, Im new to this site. From norcal area. Loved carver gear since they came out in early 90’s. Im a tube head and recently (6 months ago) got a carver sd/a 490t as a Cdp on my system. Looking forward to recapping this unit. The unit already sounds awesome as it is.. but ...the love to see what lies ahead if i do a recap is a worthy journey... 5 1

Reason is, caps are 30 years old, not because it sounds bad. All gear that old needs it. And, my experience has been it sounds better after a recap. YMMV. Enjoy the site and if you have questions, ask! 1
