Carver HR 895 Receiver?


Thoughts on the HR 895 Receiver? Picked one up yesterday along with the SD/A 360 CDP. Shame the CDP couldn't have been the 390T.
Insight appreciated. -Thanks-

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.
I own three of these beautiful receivers. The first one I purchased used in 1992. I had all three diagnosed and serviced by an original Carver technician. The most common problem is the right channel static caused by a transitor being too far away from the right power transformer, not sensing the heat, thus creating static.
Though the control panel can be difficult to navigate, I only use these prologic receivers for stereo purposes only.
Looking for a tank that produces clean sound from the late '80's? This baby is your solution.
Hi - I have a carver 2000 receiver, has static on one channel, doesn't vary based on volume. Hear it thru speakers and headphones with volume all the way off. I heard on other carver models this may be 4 transistors - does anyone know if it is the same 4 transistors in the carver 2000, and should I replace them with the same transistors in the service manual, or are there different spec'd transistors that work better - any help greatly appreciated.

I  have not used the amp for a long time.  Operational again  but noticed disturbing   burst of   static noise  randomly  once in a while
could it be failing capacitors in addition  to a transistor  failure?
