I tried to get him to create an account here back in 2012. And multiple times over the years, and then just now on the phone. He just says he'd have nothing to contribute. He knows nothing about electronics and everyone would be above his head completely. He said "I just know what sounds good to...

10-4 Joe. Spoke with my father. The amps may make a return trip in the near future. I will fix the wire routing up upon their arrival. Also in speaking with him on the phone this morning; he says the meters DO act that way on the old build. They just don't do it after the amp has been sitting...

Thanks Lee! And Joe! i TRY to do the best work I can to my abilities. (Though they be limited). It was a joyous moment to send my dad home packing two powerful full-montied WOPL400's. I loaded them into his van and told him to enjoy them as he drove off into the sunset. He will be hooking them...

Alright so Joe gave me a laundry list of things to try. I made all of them. Obviously the meter issue was solved by moving the wires to the DCP binding posts. (Again, didn't have to do that in the last build and had no issues) but that's what I did. So solved that issue. The hum is still there...

Agreed. Tried the nylon washers as George suggested, no change in hum. Meters still dance. So that 's not what's causing it....

Measure 0 Volts at both outs. If you want to count 4.5mV, well that's about what I did get at them "technically".........

You know George, I thought about that today too. In fact I might have used em in the last build. Remember a lot of my work emulates yours. I did NOT use them here. But I looked at the driver board and it doesn't look like those two spots trace anywhere so I thought "nawwww couldn't be that"...

My apologies for mis-speaking. C3 is where it's supposed to be!.................. guess i'm trippin on some serious stuff? o_O Something of Note but probably NOT related, yesterday the Black Wire that goes from the backplane to the driver board had come lose. Too much pullin on it by me. It not...

Okay. Sorry for the late reply. Just got done talking to both Mark and my father. As in "What would you like me to do"? I get moving the Meter wires to the binding posts subverts the issue. But it doesn't help explain to me WHY the issue exists at all in the first place when that's how I wired...

Understood....

Are you thinking that it has nothing to do with it as it was related to the Zoebel Network and we don't need that anyway due to the White Oak boards providing the network? I didn't see a circuit diagram in Don's installation procedures, only a BOM. Perhaps one is provided if you buy it and are...

One thing I JUST noticed on the relay board is in my previous build, (shown) I left C3 in place. On THIS board, it appears to be missing from the circuit. Any correlation to what's happening?

Alright. So My Father continues to appreciate his PL400 on his Bi-amped system. So much so he decided to plunge for the other PL400 to get white oaked. I finished the build yesterday. Same as the last build in this thread. Wiring, switches, everything. He was adimat about having it done...

It looks like it was around $450 even. That's if you DON'T include the shipping to and from. Normal work if you do NOT include the remote volume add and the gundry filter add was about $300-ish. I asked for EVERYTHING. Prices are all on the Nelion site for C-1 upgrades per component work broken...

So here's the very end of the story. (Just when you thought there already was one). We DID do the Carver C-1 Bill D. Mod. and repaired his issue. I had the repair company do the whole thing. Everything they offered for the C-1. They didn't offer an RCA Gold-Input Jack set at the time. (I see...

Actually to answer that honestly, NO. One socket surely means house fire. The stack in the middle at the bottom has a power center dedicated to 2 amps per center. Those handle the turn-on sequencing and the time-delayd high current AC outputs. Each one of those then are connected to a dedicated...

Mark, At the risk of hijacking Russ’s thread; I will answer that question. (Russ, feel free to remove me at any time). That was an old picture. I am using 8 PL700B’s now. One stack either side. The set up at that time was I had one set of those giant speakers already internally wired for...

Yep. I used those for my 5000 Tuner about seven years ago. Ebay had em then. There was a guy who custom made them for several types of receivers. Recommended to me by frhodes (posted below). I went with the Cool White since that most closely resembles Joes Cool White LED boards for my 700B...

I don’t think even if he was available he’d do it. He and I don’t really see eye to eye. So business between us probably wouldn’t be an option. A shame but it is what it is. And I am fine with that. However; I am serious about fixing my fathers problem with minimal headaches to get there on my...

Thanks Mark. You didn’t have to do that for me. I was already looking into the info you sent above looking at the carver site. Once I have a direction, I can go down the rabbit hole But it’s super-appreciated!! There’s a recommended repair place over there called Nelion Audio it appears that...
