Carver C1 going through rework

[NeverSatisfied]

I am bumping this thread because it is not clear to me if Joe’s fix of increasing R261 & R361 values fixed the problem?
My ignorant but inquiring mind would like to know how this colorful and entertaining thread finishes

 

[Gepetto]

It turned to fishing I think

Double bump. Reading this thread because I’m gonna mod my c-1 soon, I’ve also gained acccess to The Carver Site. I’m also gonna look into lowering the gain.

I finally found the silver version of the C1 !
Gotta' get Perry to tell us more about his powersupply mod .

Jump in Perry, we want to know !

The first page of this thread has pictures and stuff of the Power Supply, the Gain Board and the Gundry Filter for the Holography fix.

Another item I should mention is if you plan on doing the full blown 1% resistor change for the mod, pay attention. Read Read Read the mod paperwork (BillD Mod). Not only did they change all them resistors, they changed some value too so you must know what the resistor change was. Just as an example, they changed the resistor to match the LED change on the front panel (the BillD has a blue LED and and needed a different voltage to work correctly). There were other value changes and that may change the way your C-1 will operate. Some people don't like the blue or the retina burning intensity of it so you can play with the value. I have the changed value resistors and reason written down in my C1 folder but if you have the mod directions, it's buried in there. This was another reason I didn't change out 150 resistors willy-nilly. Save the 150 changeout for a second session after you do the basics. See if your unit works by the book first.

I think mine needs the voltage regulators. It’s a tad noisy

Regulators made it noisy???

Caps or the shitty plastic rca which are usually cracked where they mount to the board.

i thought there was a regulator kit for it……caps are new so probably the RCAs

 

[e30m3mon]

Yup ... rip those POSs out and go with regular RCAs. Sniff might have a panel that you can mount those RCAs into, and that attaches to the backwall

You didn't read the thread did you?

You didn't read the thread did you?

yeah but I’ve slept since then……

I'm about out of the upgrade boards. (Power Supply boards, Notch Filter boards). I haven't ordered any for quite some time.

Hmmm,

What would the cost be for a set of Perry designed C1 goodies ?

Read the post above yours

For sure, But what If there was some interest from a bunch of us ?

Christmas is a commin' !

I think the Wife would like that in her stocking ...... lol....

If you are interested in some boards, I'll order them for you. See if you can hustle up some guys and I'll get as many as you want.

I have two of the PS Regulator Boards (they are nice). I might want about five more. And the Gundry Notch Filter, I would take five of those too.

Off to a good start Perry !
