    I have a Carver C-1 manual with very detailed instruction on how to set up SH. It's in .pdf format so I'll try sending it to you. Might need a proper email address though. PM me you email addy and I'll send the file.

    Kelvin - Email(the PDF) it to me from here and I'll add a Misc. docs section in the vintage speakers area. TY :D
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I had a working Carver 2000 for 20 years and have played with SH. I agree with the posters who opined it is a very specific treatment interesting for certain recordings and not to be employed full time.

    Is this your fourth post this year, and if it is, will we have to wait till next year to hear from you again?

    George,
    I'm approaching 15 posts in the last week. I have a lot more to learn than I can offer, but thought I should affirm what many thought of sonic holography. I do like it.

    I've just recently crawled back to dry land after a very dark passage. My life was real bad. The oldest son recently turned 14, and his music interest has awakened my own. This forum I remembered as a very decent place. I'm glad it's still here.

    Well, Munk....press the SH button, then power off and mingle for awhile....it's been too long.

    And then power it back up. I've had a hologram generator for twenty+ years. Indispensible tool.

    Twenty posts in 8 years, so, you were roughly a 2.5 posts/year kind of guy. People can learn from that so you have that to offer. Nice gesture, but I'm afraid it may be in vain.

    There are so many Carver repair services these days I'm thinking of having the 2000 reciever fixed; not for me, but for my sons. There's a Carver amp on the way to rebuild our main stereo. My Dad's AR-2A loudspeakers are going to arrive this Fall, along with a AR turntable. I still have my Linn Axis.

    I'm wondering if Dad ever had those speakers serviced..... if not, those cones have to be 50+ years old. Gotta be torn.
    When the right deal arrives my Polk LS 50's are going to be replaced. My son's stand to inherit the LS 50s, a AR turntable, a Dennon surround sound reciever, and this Christmas a cd player. I think they are lucky. When I was their age I had a little Sears stereo in my room and a reel to reel deck.

    George, I think I killed the sonic holography on the Carver 2000 by playing it too loud. Maybe it's just coincidence, but it seemed to me the SH was for listening, not blasting. Whatever the reason, it died. About a year later the entire unit went quiet.
