Increased Value Capacitor assemblies to replace Capacitor Technologies' 130 V power supply capacitors in CARVER M-4.0T, TFM-4.0, TFM-42, TFM-45 amplifiers. These assemblies have been custom designed for Carver amplifiers, and feature low ESR design, long life and ease of installation.
For increased lifetime, the assemblies use increased voltage capacitors. For improved performance, the value of the capacitors has been increased by 30% (to 11,700 uF) for improved clarity and bass response.
Features
A bad filter cap can cause a low- to mid- frequency hum or distortion in the outputs. A failed capacitor can also put the amp in protection mode. Generally, a bad filter cap will affect both channels equally. Many people replace the original parts as a preventative measure.
The assemblies are brand new and will be shipped in protective packaging. The listing is for the capacitor assemblies only, not the complete amplifier.
The capacitors can be replaced by a person with intermediate soldering skills. A soldering iron and solder are needed to replace the part. When you're done soldering, wash your hands because solder contains lead. Please note that replacing the capacitors will fix the amplifier only if the capacitors were the problem to start with!
STRONG WARNING!!! Carver amplifiers have high voltages of 120 VAC and +/- 125 VDC present during operation. They have capacitors that can store potentially deadly charges for over one minute after power is disconnected from the amplifier. Repairs to be made by qualified service personnel. We do not want you to get hurt, and we don't want you to hack up these classic amps!!! If you need assistance with a repair, we can do it at our facility, or refer you to another qualified repair facility.
