New member!

Welcome davewc. I'd throw in the towel on the CDP. Can't go wrong with the 35 though !

Guy's, I good have sworn I posted a reply sometime between 4:00 and 5:00. Is there something wrong here? I don't believe I good have accidently posted it
somewhere else. Is there some place I can look to see what all I have posted? Well what ever the case is. Thanks to all of you who have acknowleged my post. I have
been thinking of purchasing a new amp and was wondering if anyone has had any expeirence with the Parasound Halo amps? Or what would you all consider for $2000-2500 range
2 channel amp with about 250-300 watts? Or would it be better to just take my TFM-35X amp in for a slight overall or refreshing. If so what if any should I have done to the amp to
bring it back to close to new? I know what the THX is but is it better than say the TFM-35 AMP? I'm not really into tube amps, just solid state class A/B. Thanks again!

I'll start it off and just say.....................................SUNFIRE.

This is page two of the thread you started; your first post was at the top of page one....

Also, what speakers are you driving & how is your system set up?

Hello Dave and welcome to the Carver forum. The THX is just a certification that loses the tube-like sound you get with the TFM-35 you have. If you explain to us what you equipment have and what it is you are looking for, there are plenty of folks here with experience to help you along your audio journey.

Correction; all the THX cert does is make it conform to the THX standard of 100 watt output in 8 ohms with a 1 volt input.

Rotel RSP-1066 Processor.
Rotal RCD -1072 CD.
Carver TFM-35X AMP.

Paradigm DSP 3400 subwoofer.
Paradigm 370 center channel speaker.
Music Hall M5 turntable.

Ci Audio VHP1 Headphone amp with Grado SR 325 headphones for quiet listening!

Welcome to the forum.

You could buy 3 Sunfire 2-channel amps for the price range you're talking about & never have to purchase anything else~

Really, are the Sunfire amps that good? Never thought about that before! I am pretty sure they don't make them amps any more so how could I possibly
by them other than on Ebay? I guess I will have to keep my eye open for them from now on. Thanks!

Sunfire still makes amps, but they are all manufactured in China now. What's wrong with used? My entire system was all used~

It just requires some patience & searching on Audiogon (preferred) & eBay (not so preferred)..... or HERE (most preferred~).

They're actually better than "that good". They are the last amp you will need to buy.

There was a 400 x 7 on ebay for a bin of $1750.00.

I'd grab that if it's still there.

Seriously, I can't say enough how these amps are a box of cool power.

My 5400 is a made in China amp but so far (4 years) I've has no problems of any kind.

Good Luck & welcome.

That one lasted about 2 hours.
I see the 300x2 I posted on this thread yesterday has gone BIN for $800.
