Tekerman 18 Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 Hi Everyone, New guy here! I probably got a bit of info here 2 years ago when I wanted to repair my C1. Instead of just repairing I found out about the BillD mod and went ahead got it and I love it! However... I've always lusted after a C4000 and my luck came in yesterday! I now have a version 2 unit. After cleaning the pots she mostly works. I can hear the AutoCorr work as does the LF cal. Not sure about the peak unlimiter. Barely flashes at max even with loud passages. Delay and rear amps work fine. I'll have to set up my speakers a little different to properly try the Sonic Holography. But this all lead me to joining this site! Now that I know what the BillD did for my C1 I'm looking for similar upgrade for the C4000 MkII Many thanks for letting me join! Tekerman 7
Ar9Jim 6,514 Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 Hi Tekerman, Welcome to TCS.. There is a wealth of information on many topics here. The search bar in the upper right hand corner is great for finding info topics of interest. Have fun, Enjoy! 1
Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,507 Posted July 29, 2023 Community Admin Posted July 29, 2023 Welcome to the site, @Tekerman. Glad you found us. And you'll fit right in, here! Post some pictures of your gear - we love audio pics. 1
Dennis47 981 Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 Welcome @Tekerman! You have two great preamps. What amps and speakers are in your system? 1
Sk1Bum 11,579 Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 Hello Tekerman, and welcome to thecarversite.com. We're glad you're hear. There is a lot of information here, much technical know how, and a pretty good bunch of folks that are happy to help. You won't go wrong with either of those preamps. I have a BillD modified C-1 and a Bonzoro modded 4000t. Either one is the right choice. Once you get to Novice status, please consider uploading some pics of your gear in the Members Systems area. We all like pics of all kinds of audio gear. In the meantime, kick your shoes off, turn up the music, and welcome aboard. 1
Tekerman 18 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Posted July 29, 2023 Wow!! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!. After I put the C400 back together (big drag to properly do a tear down) I noticed if I pressed on the volume control the left channel would cut out. Open her back up and found a cold solder joint on the left side vol control. All that man-handling probably created it, but I've got the skills to set it right. Reflowed all 6 contacts and I'm in my happy place. Gotta say I'm really getting to love this preamp and The Carver Site! I Hope to contribute to the site in the near future. Best, Bri (AKA) Tekerman 1

3M_Audio 2,068 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Welcome! I'm also wrestling with a few C4000 issues right now but these are nicely designed and made units and worth the effort. 1
