Carver TFM-55: Replace or Repair? Posted by Bob Wanamaker [IP: 206.183.23.22] on December 04, 1998 at 06:21:17: In Reply to: Carver TFM-55: Replace or Repair? posted by Alan Maier[SysOp] on December 01, 1998 at 19:43:11: : Bob, : Carver Corporation's fixed repair cost pricing is over-priced in my opinion. [snip, snip] Yes, I agree with that! I'm pretty limited in my choices, though, so I went the factory route :They should take care of you. If not - put your money toward a used Adcom/B&K/Parasound or whatever and :sell off the Carver.. and wash your hands of it. : Alan To Carver's credit, they are taking care of the problem at zero cost to me; they are having UPS pick-up via call tag, so no more $ goes into this unit. However, I'm also starting to shop for a replacement. If I might bug you for more advice: I'm using Polk RT-3000p's in a combo music/HT setup, in an fairly large size room that is fairly "dead". I've found a vast difference between the Carver and my stand-by Denon 5600 receiver; the Denon makes music sound like it's playing through a layer of acoustic fog; the soundstage is collapsed, imaging less precise, everything sort of sounds "distant". I'm very interested in getting the music right, believing that HT sound will follow suit. With the bit of info I've given, what amp would you pop in place? Once again, tia, and Happy Friday! bw btw, I tried posting this message the morning after your post at about 4:30AM EST, and the server would not accept the post...not complaining, I just like to know when my servers act up...
