    Carver PM-350

    I am working on a Carver PM-350. The only schematic I can find online is low res and hardly readable. Does any generous soul out there have a better schematic, and will share it with me? The board layout drawing would help too. A ledgeable trace side drawing would be great too. I want to fix...

    Carver CT-26V Service Manual?

    I have a CT-26V pre-amp that the stand-by power circuit isn't working. Have not had any luck finding a service manual for. Removed the outer cover only to find that nothing has any value markings on it. Any leads would be much appreciated.

    Carver SDA 490T spinning but not starting song

    Looking for help with a Carver C4000 Preamp Autocorrelator

    Hi, I have a Carver C4000 that I just picked up, and apparently it is missing the RCA outputs for the tape monitor 2 and external processor. If I don't have those options, it's not the end of the world, but when I opened the unit, I saw two wires that appear to have been severed or maybe came...

    Carver TX-11 — cutting out, strange behavior

    Hi all- I have a Carver TX-11 that I've been using and enjoying for some years, but recently it started doing this weird thing where it will drop the signal and just play static, and the controls just stop responding. If you press any of the preset buttons, they light up for a moment but the...

So my questions are: 1) Should I try and bi-amp these beauties? 2) Is this a use-case to use the Bridged feature...

    Carver TFM-15cb Binding Post snapped

    I had a person ship a TFM-15cb poorly and one of the speaker binding posts snapped off. I really just need one but I may need the entire assembly. I tried Bob Carver directly through the website but no reply. Thanks, Chris

    2 X Carver TFM-15CB ‘s How would I set these up?

    I have been using a Carver TFM-15cb Power Amp hooked up to my Carver CT-17 Speakers are Klipsch Quartets. I’ve got it daisy chained to some Vandersteen Model 2. For those asking, all hooked up to a Bang & Olufsen 4004 Beogram. I would like to get more sound out of the vandersteens so I bought...

    Carver CT-26V remote receive issue

    The remote transmitter is working. Here's what happens. I can't turn the unit on using the remote. When I power up using the power switch on the preamp, it responds to the remote for about 5 seconds then stops responding. I have a service manual but its very poor for showing any static...

    Vidar with Rogersound Labs (RSL) CG5's and 10S Subwooffer

    Is anyone running this combo? If so would love to hear your experiences. I am considering replacing a Carver TFM-15 power amp with the Vidar. Will initially keep my Carver C-3 pre-amp. Love the RSL's.

    Carver 1.0t Repair (variac issue? yes or no?)

    OK>>>> pretend I said TRIAC.... ugh... sorry I've done a fair amount of work on this, and did the complete MKII upgrade and attempted to set the bias and voltage, but the supply voltage came on at about 60v and then started to decline... I pushed the main voltage reostadt just a little and the...

    Carver CS5.2 project maybe

    From the local goodwill I picked up the towers of the Carver CS5.2 although I know carver, I knew nothing about the CS5.2 — just at $7.50 I couldn’t walk out empty handed. after some research I see this originally came with a center channel speaker which also housed a 300W sub amp. I only have...

    Another Carver PM 1.5 to save!

    Ih guys, I've been given a pm1. 5 which exhibits the classic 'thum-thum' syndrom, with light slowly going up and down... I found one small diode and the 901ohm/56ohm/33ohm trio to be defective and changed them. I also preventively changed the supply caps. Usually that's enough to give a new...

    Increasing Carver amp sensitivity?

    Ok, so I have 2 Carver amps, a PM175 and a PM600, both have balanced XLR inputs and TS 1/4” inputs and are sensitive from 1.5 volts. I was hoping to run my main speakers in my 5.1 system with one of these amps (both plenty powerful and sound excellent). Seems like no problem since I’m using a...

    Hello guys, does anyone have good experience with the power supply part of the CARVER M-500? The amplifier is working well at all but sometimes when turning the amplifier OFF the circuit breaker of the outlet pops. (this happens not always, seems to be depending on the phase angle) Could be...

    Carver TFM-25 channel drop

    I have a Carver TFM-25 that drops the left channel at low volume. It only happens on low volume but not every time I have it at low volume. I can always get the channel back by turning the volume up. Any ideas?
