Just to balance the feedback, I have not had any problems with my H/K AVR-520 randomly shutting down.
The C1000 causes a momentary dimming of the lights when powered on...Then I'm going to say with a high level of confidence that the H/K shut down due to a voltage drop. Looks like they're just extremely sensitive and need a nice solid power supply. Nothing wrong with that.
I'd think about putting that Carver on a dedicated circuit if it's dimming lights. Probably would be better for it's lifespan.
The main one is that they don't put out clean sinusoidal AC, though some of the very expensive (large) ones are quite good.Well, I tried my new 525 both on and off the UPS and couldn't hear a difference. Granted, I don't have a cheap UPS - think I spent in the neighborhood of $800 for it a couple of years back.
You should be able to run it at whatevver volume you wantNot if your speakers can't take it. Even my 12 year old TEAC receiver has a built-in protection circuit that cuts the speakers if you push them too hard. I've had it happen on a couple of occasions.
