Carver CM 1090 Integrated amp
« on: October 09, 2011, 10:13:13 PM »
Hi all.  Any thoughts on the value of a Carver CM 1090.  New in about 1990, 100 WPC, metrers, phono section, etc.  Since it's 20 years old, what service might it need?  Thanks

Caps are due for replacement & most likely need to be done to keep it operating up to spec.

From what I know, it is a TFM-15 with a preamp.  It most likely will if not already need serviced to bring back to spec. 

I have owned tow TFM-15's and liked them.  It is a good amp.

Thanks, all.  It sounds like a couple hundred buks for the amp, plus a few more for Tom's magic is a fair investment.  And, I'll have a unit that should play to spec for a number of years.

Haven't yet made the purchase.  It's still available for $200, but I have only seen Pics and am not sure of the condition.
