Brian_at_HHH 2,609 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 How to choose - so much of it looks great. The vac amps certainly rate. Personally, I've always loved the look of the C-4000t preamp. The C-1 comes a close second. Even some of the Receivers are pretty incredible. But so much of it looks amazing, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilDent 1,714 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) So much Carver gear looks so great and arouses so much desire - kind of like looking at a lineup of cheerleaders. You'd love to love them all but a few just stand out. Here are my current favs - just need a few more M500tmkII's to finish it off I also think that tubes are very sexy. But after reading the article about ss v. tubes from Sanders Sound Systems and personal listening, I am of the opinion that SS is the way to achieve the highest fidelity. As much as I would love to have sexy tubes and a turntable, I believe that lots of SS power and M500tMkII's is the way to go. My current goal is to amass as much power as possible, then I will audition as many speakers, sources, and DAC's that the wifey will allow. Thus the journey continues...

My favorite part of all the above is scripted in gold. I just love the Bob-father's signature on any of his stuff, new or vintage.
