All Activity

Folks, the store I promised you all is finally ready. So, check out some Carverfest Merch, and other fun t-shirts at the link below. The gear is decent and price friendly. T-shirts are $15, an embroidered polo shirt is $34 and I even put a mug out there for $10. Other than the trial shirt I modeled a few posts back, I can't say too much about the quality of the gear or printing. But, "Printify" the 3rd party store I used (like "Etsy" for printed stuff) is highly ranked and I chose the gear on the site that is also highly ranked. https://carverfest-and-other-stuff.printify.me/ As I said, the items are price friendly. There's shipping and tax added, all managed by Printify, not me. In fact, once you purchase, you're dealing with a 3rd party company. A perk, because I'm not all that great at customer service :). Note that each item is priced to make a small profit (ranging from $1 to $3, depending on size and color). I will donate all profits received to the Carversite administrative fund to help keep this site working. I'm not trying to get rich here or become a t-shirt baron and I'll gladly share the books on the store if anyone is interested. All of the t-shirt designs are of my own doing, though I'm not really all that great of an artist. I had some help from AI. And, I used internet images of logos wherever I could. If you have a strong desire to see something else (Carver related, please) on a t-shirt, I'm open to it. But, I don't have a lot of skills or time to design it for you. So, send me a .png or .jpg file and tell me what type of product you'd like it on (colors, too), and I'll try to get it added to the store. Try to make it something you think others may enjoy...(not that one polaroid of you and Bob taken back in 1978). Remember that images on t-shirts will be exact to what you send... and since many pictures are rectangular in nature with a white or solid background, you'll probably want to do some editing such that your pic has a "transparent" background color. Otherwise you'll end up with a very rectangular looking t-shirt pic. Enjoy Everyone! And, I look forward to seeing a few of these shirts at Carverfest in September. Special thanks to @straylight, @sea, and @AndrewJohn for tips, artistic ideas, and encouragement.

Welcome Dan!!!

WELCOME @Dan Krushinski! What Phase Linear pieces do you have?

Just looking to get started repairing a few pieces of Phase Linear equipment that I have.

That is the album that got me sideways with the most neighbors.

Some morning piano. Lola Astanova, Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy. I had to listen to it twice. The second time I had my glasses on, and it sounded much better.

I had the 2.5i's for a while and while they sounded great in my large living room, my wife didn't want them in that room so I moved them upstairs into my small listening room where I found them to have too much bass for the small space so got some Harbeths that are much better suited for that room. My 2.5i's had the dual binding posts. Really great speakers.

Thanks for your comments. However, although I don't know the full history of my 2.5s, it seems highly unlikely that anyone in Argentina would have undertaken such a complex upgrade. Because it involves modifying the crossover as well. I think it was more likely a hybrid pair, released just days before the 2.5i, which already came with a double binding post, came out. It must be said that both tweeters sound identical. But they have traces of dried ferrofluid, as can be seen in the photos. That said, they still sound very good.
