Carver HR 895 Receiver?

It does have a good sound, it plays music and movies nicely.

After some time of use, it gets very hot. It needs to be placed out of my rack in order to keep it cool.

I have some static in one channel that is unaffected by volume. I tried cleaning the controls through the faceplate with contact cleaner, but it did not work. I could run the unit for hours with no static at all. It's not loud. I have to get the face plate off which is a pain because it is screwed onto the unit from the inside on the bottom, which requires a long screw driver, and one of the screws is hidden. Brilliant design.

To fix the channel, you just need to replace 4 transistors.

This is well known problem. These HR-895 are awesome!
As more people find out about that model, the used prices will rise.

IME, the best Carver receiver was simply called 'The Receiver'. If I remember correctly it was a powerhouse, conservatively rated at 125WPC.

I fixed it by selling almost two months ago.

And "The Receiver" should be called "The Headache". That thing is an accident waiting to happen.
