    Default Carver Repairs

    http://www.carveraudio.com/phpBB3/vi...hp?f=8&t=10805

    This is from the Carver forum, since there are quite a few Carver gear owners here,I thought that this might be appropriate,,I am familar with their work,and can say that it is very good.

    They repaired/replaced some caps in my brothers TFM 45,,quite reasonable,,and did a very good job,,plus they communicated their findings and approx cost to him before repair.I just feel that whenever possible we need to support businesses such as this,they provide a "personalized" reputable service,,and are a dying breed,,LOL,,just means I'm getting older.

    That would be very cool...listening today I couldn't detect any problems with the amp...course it was Xmas music at low volume...after a couple of weeks 24/7, I'm about to shoot myself.
