    Kman systems

    Hi. Been a member since 2009, but haven't been very active. Hope that changes. Just wanted to show what systems I have right now. Quite silly, really; 4 systems in one small house, and 2 in one cramped office. My wife will agree. Anyway, here is what we have: My main audio system: Carver...

    Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. Been wanting to get a Power Amp that was really good and I think I just found one. I just purchased a Carver PM 350 online and I was wanting to know if any of you have had any experience with this amp or any other Carver products. Thanks for any feedback...

    Noise and Circuit Breaker Issue from Power Amp

    I recently added a power amp to my system and am having some problems with it. I used to be running a Denon AVR 988 amplifying 5 speakers in a 5.1 configuration. Now I've added a Carver M-1.5 power amp to power front L and R in the setup. I have the Carver connected to the switched outlet on the...

    Amp cabinets for Carver C-500's

    ok, so here's some quick mock up picks of my Amp Cabinet builds. I run two C-500's verticals bi-amped. This is a mock up of the LEFT channel amp. The gaps you see are where 1"X1"x14" strips of polished plexiglass go. I am placing small controllable led aqua blue lights inside the cabinet to...

    Humming Carver PM-1.5

    In order to properly feed a pair of JBL's Ti-3000 I recently traded, I purchased the aforementioned Carver power amp only to find out two strange behaviors: A) buzzing speakers - the speakers have a permanent buzzing sound that increases when both/either left and right gain controls of the amp...

    Carver m-.05t vs carver 1.0t

    Hi All, Im currently watching a bid for a carver M-.05T with a ct-seven preamp for $420 shipped. It is a really good deal but not really the amp i want. Are there any sonic differences between the M-.05t vs M-1.0t? The 1.0 is the one i want because that is the one i read about on the sterophile...

    Add power amp to Peachtree Decco65 + Reference 3a de Capo speakers?

    Hi, I recently picked up a terrific pair of the Reference 3A MM deCapos. I'm pairing them right now with a Peachtree Decco 65 amp and they sound great, though a bit muddled/weak on the low end. I'm repairing an old Carver professional power amp (200 wpc) that I used to use with Martin Logan...

    MX113/MX114 Advice Needed

    I am considering the purchase of a restored McIntosh MX113 or MX114 preamp/tuner. There seem to be a lot of them out there (especially the MX113) in nice condition at reasonable prices.

    Oh no, another Carver MXR-130 thread

    So, I have a Carver MXR-130. And yet again, it has issues. Lifetime I think it's been through repair twice. This time the sound cuts out randomly on both channels (has had relays replaced some years ago) and it has this distinctive burning smell when it's been on for any length of time. I do...

    Phase linear 300 resistor question

    Hello. I am about to replace resistors r101 and r111 on the driver boards of a phase linear model 300 but the manual doesn't say how many watts the resistors are. They are 3.3k ohms but other than that it says nothing. I discarded the old burnt resistors a long time ago so I have no way of...

    Carver C-2 Headphone Output Reversed?

    I recently bought a Carver C-2 preamp on ebay, in slightly rough cosmetic shape but purportedly good working order. Having used it for a week or two now that seems to mostly be the case, but there's one really weird issue: the stereo on the headphone output is reversed. That is, the left...
