Carver c-1000a

I am very interested in purchasing a Carver c-1000a unit. I am not a audiophile yet, butr I am working towards a nice home theater system. For right now, I feel the Carver c-1000a will fit the bill.

Does anyone know of any interested parties and or audio dealers that may have one for sale?

I am ready to act, so any information would be greatly interested.

That receiver does NOT enjoy a very good rep for reliability.

Take a look at the HR-895. They are availible on e-bay for <$350.

It is only Dolby Pro Logic 5 channel but it is very full featured for everything else. Due to space constraints I don't have mine set up for home theater but as nice as it is in 2 channel it should be very nice in its home theater configuration.

So, what you are saying is that Carvers come back unit isnt worth its salt? I have spoken to many people who love the unit. Please explain why this unit is not worth a second look?

Thanks for all of your comments.

It's out of production, doesn't have DPLII or component switching and seems to have a overheating problem.

Well, afetr speaking with carver repair, I am very interested in this unit still. I will only be using it for basic home audio and video applications. So, if anyojne knows of someone who is in the market to sell, Im up for buying.

Thanks,
Paul

Hmmm, I have a C-1000 (not the "A") and I have considered putting it up for sale.

If we come to an agreement I am not sure how to handle the payment/shipping issues. I never bought or sold anything via the net.

I moved last August (theater system still in storage) so I updated my profile if you wish to send me an Email.

I have the original box, owners manual and programmable remote.

Sorry, I was out of town for a meeting. Sure, call me at 703-786-7939

Dick, check you e-mail! Thanks.

Hey PJK.

Any luck?

I have taken a moment to connect my receiver to a pair of little JVC speakers. My wife now has SOMETHING (FM) to listen too.

I plan to take a couple of weeks off over X-Mas so I'll spend some time setting up my system. The tricky part will be fishing the video/speaker wires under the carpet and sneaking them behind the baseboards.

Please let us know how your purchase works out.

Best regards,
Dick
