kmanusa 74 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi to all, new member from Oakton, Virginia here, just west of DC. I'm a long time audiophile. Not new to Carver but my major acquisitions of Bob's gear through the years have been Sunfire. I have the Classic Tube preamp, as well as the 300x2 and 600x2 amps. Currently thinking of sending my 600x2 in for another servicing since it has developed a slight hum in one channel. But it works so darn well with my Martin Logan CLS original speakers! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodH 4,820 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Welcome aboard! Where are you thinking of sending your Sunfire if I may ask? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmanusa 74 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 I was thinking of sending it to Bill Flannery, the only place I know of that works on Sunfire. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Flannery is in WA, and Greg is in MI. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrummerJuice 1,278 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Welcome Kmanusa! I've always been a fan of the Sunfire stuff! Have a look at some of the pics of Gregs work at Nelion audio. I think you will be impressed! Hard to go wrong with Bill either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmanusa 74 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Thanks all for the welcoming! And many thanks for the repair tip, I will definitely consider sending my 600 to Greg— I did not know I had a choice. 😊 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddmaster 957 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Welcome to Carver World. I have hear Sunfire in action and I remember how strong they are. It seemed like there was not limit to power output. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadvw 2,802 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Welcome Kman! I recommend Nelion audio too! I just had two amps serviced by him and another on the way for an MKII mod. He does great work. You won’t regret sending it and the money is well spent.......grin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_at_HHH 2,609 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Welcome to the group. Sunfire lovers definitely belong here belong here - you'll find yourself in very good company. There are lots of options with respect to repairs for your gear. Distance for shipping may be one of the biggest factors - Sunfire gear isn't going to fit into an envelope and take a basic stamp, to ship. The good thing is that there are options so getting it fixed is certainly doable. Like others here I can attest to Greg at Nelion's repair talents, but the key is your comfort in whose fingers reach inside your systems. For now, relax, and perhaps send us some pictures of your rig when you can. And enjoy the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
