    Depends what needs to be repaired... HiTech Audio does their electronics... Don't know about the subs... Maybe Sunfire?

    When I had a C19 Roland did some work to it and did a great job. He also did some upgrading to my current amp Sunfire Sig II. I will say it was a big difference between in the mid and high end when he was done. He does great work!

    I have one of the Carver CD players. Is Hitech the place to send it? The problem with it last time I tried to use it was it would not open the tray. It's a button issue bc the tray will open just not with the button.

    Isn't Carver almost 70 years of age? Doesn't anyone in the Audio world EVER "retire"?

    I thought that was a known issue for the carver cd players. You sure its not the belt that opens up the tray? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FngAg3mk2Ug

    Here is a utube video how to help a cd player tray.

    BTW do you have one of the tube carver cd players?
