Are the handle attachments removable on Carver gear?

[paden501]

Hey all.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment.  We're furnishing my stereo room and the entertainment center we picked out won't properly fit my Carver CT-17 and SD/A-450.  The width of both those pieces is 19" and I only have 18.125" in the cabinets.  So I'm wondering if the metal piece that the handles bolt to is removable.  I know that I can just remove the handles themselves, but I need to also remove the metal trim that they bolt to in order to make it fit.

Is that possible?  If not, I fear there may be some carver equipment on the market here soon.

Sell the rack, NOT the Carver gear....

The rack ears on both of those cannot be removed.

I am with falcon377, sell the racks and keep the Carver.  Another option you can give them to me.  I will go out and buy a rack that they will fit in

But if you must sell the gear check with OCCD.  I know he has some Adcom items that I think will fit.  He has preamps and cd players.  All are very nice and are just about as good as the Carver IMO.

Call Tom and have him double check to see the width of these.  I am sure he can do a trade in on your Carver.

SCREW THAT RACK!!!  However, there are other preamps you can use. CT-  26v 27v  28v  29v.  The only CD without rack handles is the DTL-50 and the SD/A-360 handles can be removed. The 360 will give you the same sound as your 450.

Thanks for the options Tom.

I'll have to stop in and figure out what I want to do one of these days.  I have some time to think about it. 

Does the SDA-360 also have the coax output?  I've been kicking around the option of buying an outboard DAC one of these days and I don't want to lose that option if possible.

BTW here's the AV rack we're looking at.

SD/A-360 has a optical out.

Sweet.

Up for an even trade?  My 450 for your 360?
