New Member in Chicago looking for assistance

[curtconklin 9]

I am a new member in Chicago and looking for assistance with a Sunfire AVR. Happy to pay someone for their time.

Unit has a buzzing coming out of one channel. I either need to replace it or fix it. My integrator wants thousands of dollars to replace it with a Denon which requires new programming. I'd rather fix the Sunfire or buy a used one that doesn't have a buzz.   But even in a swap situation, I need help.

Afternoon project?  All fun? $$$$ and lots of praise, gratitude and compliments? calanc @ Yahoo.com

Hello curtconkin and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us!

 

Not far from Chicago, @Nahash5150has a repair, rebuild, upgrade shop in central Michigan. The website is www.nelionaudio.com. His work is impeccable, and he's one of the administrators here. He's upgraded a few Carver M1.0t amps for me, and he's done a lot of work for folks on this site. You can contact him through the nelionaudio website. His work carries a 3 year warranty. 

 

I hope that helps.

Welcome from Virginia!  Enjoy your stay!

 

@Sk1Bum is correct.  Greg at Nelion is damn good at what he does.  He knows the Bob Carver stuff like the back of his hand.  He's fixed a couple of pieces for me.  Excellent work!

Welcome Curt,

 

 I know exactly what it feels like to happily pay someone else to do a job that I don't have a chance at getting right or just don't want to do it myself. For me, it is usually a plumber.

@curtconklin Welcome to the Carver Site!!

 

Love the Sunfire units. I had a TGIV.

 

Which unit do you have?

 

Hope you get it fixed.

Welcome

I have the Sunfire Ultimate Receiver. It's been a great unit, and I hate the idea of spending thousands to replace it with something of a lower quality.

But also I am a nerd. This runs my theater, but I have a two channel system with a McIntosh 7200 and LP12. One of my kids is running a refurbished Sansui 9090 and a systemdek TT and the other has a 70s Hitachi receiver (which could use some work) and a new TT. In storage I have a Sansui Eight and some other fun old stuff.

I love to talk to people about hifi and learn what other nerds have.
