I recently put my 5.1 setup back together, and I was immediately reminded how much I like 5.1 music. This is one of my latest additions to the collection. I love hearing classic albums in surround.

Drive - one of my favorite Joe Bonamassa songs from the Live At Carnegie Hall An Acoustic Evening Blu-ray. I watch/listen to this Blu-ray DVD more than any other Bonamassa Blu-ray; great song and great concert!!!!!

Hello everyone! By reading this forum I discovered that I actually had OCCD long before I knew that condition formally existed!! ? My journey using Bob Carver equipment started in 1988 after I read an article about “The Carver Challenge”. I couldn’t resist, so I convinced my wife that I needed to upgrade our Stereo system and went to Sound Factor in Encino, CA and purchased a Carver CT-7 tuner/preamp and M1.0t power amp. Some form of Bob Carver equipment has been in my 2 Channel system ever since and for a number of years I used a Carver AV-405 in my 5.1 Surround System. My wife can attest to my OCCD condition because I’ve never gotten rid of any Carver equipment that I’ve upgraded or replaced and have an entire storage rack with all of the audio/video gear that I’ve replaced (Carver, Marantz, B&K, Denon, Akai, Sony – all in their original boxes)! My current 2-Channel System uses a Sunfire Symphonic Reference Preamp that replaced my Carver C-16 preamp. While I like both equally from a sonic perspective, the remote-controlled volume of the Sunfire gave it the nod. Occasionally I’ll swap out the B&K 200.2 power amp and reinsert my Carver TFM-4.0. Here is a list of the components that are in my current 2 Channel system along with a picture of the system as it resides out in my room that I call “The Boonies”. Turntable: VPI The Classic | Ortofon Quintet Blue Preamplifier: Sunfire Symphonic Reference Preamp Power Amplifier: B&K Reference 200.2 CD Player: Denon DCD-1650AR Cassette Player: Denon DRM-800 Reel to Reel: Akai GX-370D Streaming: SONOS Connect Power Conditioner: Monster HTS 5100 Speakers: Klipsch KLF-20s Cables: AudioQuest King Cobra ICs & Gibraltar Bi-wires

I’m a/b testing two amps with a couple of tracks: Caedmon’s Call, Close of Autumn and Muse, Madness. The amp battle is between an M500t MkII and a Bill Flannery refurbished Sunfire 300 x 2 amp. Current speakers in rotation are the ugly duckling AR M6’s in place of my main ADS 910’s. Fun times!
