The restore for the Carver TFM-55(x) amp includes replacement of all consumable parts (including known 'weak links'), reflow of questionable solder, all service bulletins, cleaning inside and out. All transistor predivers are replaced and upgraded. Output relays are also replaced.
The TFM-55x requires the entire PCB board and power supply to be removed from the chassis to work on. So although electronically, the 55 and 55x are the same, the 55x chassis was not designed for service work and takes extra time. The 55x design was done for cosmetics only (as described in the owner's manual) and that is why the cost to restore is higher. Both models perform exactly the same.
Signal Path Upgrade:
High grade polypropylene capacitors are installed in critical areas to maintain proper signal conditions while under heavy loads or heat stress. While the amplifier is extremely resistant to trouble caused by noisy or heat stress conditions, this upgrade will take it a step further to increase the amp's performance in demanding circumstances.
