...for my trusty old Carver receiver. It was old. It was loud. It served me faithfully for 18 years. Yesterday, it finally said "enough!", unfortunately just before the half of the Pittsburgh game. It looks like a terminal condition, an awful hum coming from the power supply.
A quick trip to Radio Sh*t to try a fuse had me scrambling to hook the mains back into the AV receiver. The sound is good enough, it just doesn't have the punch it used to have. Not even close. I am in the market for a big old-school power amp, 150 watt range. Something vintage, naturally. Father-in-law has a pristine Adcom 545 that might fit the bill. I might try to pick up an old Carver TFM with the cool analog meters.
Recommendations?
