Welcome to the forum! From a solid state gear head just getting into tube amps the last 3 years, I like the tubes as well. As for solid state, my preference has been to refurbish all my own gear that I am going to keep and use. If you enjoy doing it yourself, great. If not, Nelion Audio is who I would recommend to service it. Glad you found the manuals and enjoy the bedtime reading........grin -
When I first got interested in audio, the looks of the gear and the sound is what caught my attention. When I was able to afford nice gear (brand name), my ear is still what drove my choice to purchase. Did I look at the specs, sure. Did they matter that much, not really. My ears and the looks of the gear is what drove the purchase. I appreciate Bob's ideas and designs, I like the looks, and the sound....well that's why I own them. Now, as I am older (61), the nostalgia adds a factor to the decision. As with tube amps, Bob's Black Magic 25 with KT120 tubes is the best sounding tube amp I have heard. I like the tube sound better than solid state and I have listened to solid state most of my life. And do I need to mention looks......grin. So, for me, since I can afford it, I would rather have a quality sounding piece of gear that looks great instead of something cheap. Price is not the driver for me, it's value that determines the dollars spent.

You will enjoy the M500t and C-1 combo. I am old school so I have cds, cassette tape, mini disc and DAT. I like the formats and recording to them. The different technologies are fun to listen to. Let us know what brand of DAC and streamer you buy…… grin -

Welcome to the site from the land down under! It is nice to hear from someone that far away that loves Carver gear and other brands as well! Most of us here have mixed systems, some have pure Carver setups as well. Glad you found us and we hope you enjoy the site!…..grin -
Welcome Brent! You have a nice starter collection of amplifiers to refurbish and enjoy. Hopefully you have some speakers in mind to hook them to and music sources too! Glad to have you aboard the OCCD train……the train that never stops……..grin

Welcome KevinL! Great deal you found on that M1.5t. I would recommend getting it refurbished. Nelion Audio has refurbished several amplifiers for me and he does great work. After he is done with it, it will sound good for another 30 years……..grin
