OldSchool74 8 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Hello to all, I have just joined the Carver site community. I recently acquired a Phase Linear 4000 preamp which has become a restoration project due to a number of electrical issues. I'm not sure if this site is in any way involved with the Phase Linear product line or is specifically dedicated to Carver products only. Please let me know if I have (or have not) come to the right place for any information that could guide me through the restoration. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Admin AndrewJohn 8,735 Posted September 28 Community Admin Share Posted September 28 Welcome, @OldSchool74. So glad you found us. This "Is the Place To Be!! 😉 We love all Bob Carver...., that's Phase Linear, Carver Corp, Sunfire, and the later Tube Amps he has developed. That preamp is a complex one..., I'm not sure if there are any active members here that have one in service, but I do know that Nelion Audio will work on them..., As for historical threads, the best way to start would be to browse the various forums, preamps is one. and/or use the serch function..., it's a bit unique, and takes some playing around to get it to find what you are looking for - but that's like all search buttons, I 'spose. Again, welcome! Glad you found us. And, we'd LOVE to see you start a repair thread on your 4000 project. Then you'd be helping the next guy. No rules on repair threads - keep it simple and take lots of pictures. Looking forward to your posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSchool74 8 Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 Thanks everyone for the welcome messages, suggestions and links to the manuals, etc. The repair thread suggested by @AndrewJohn is a great idea so I'll go ahead and start one. Even if it ends up as a tragic story of "what not to do" I'm sure it will be a lot of fun and I'll probably learn a lot in the process - starting with how to write a repair thread!😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
