Hello I’m a novice audiophile, I started way back when I saved up to a buy a Sony ES receiver (late 80’s I believe, i was in high school) and still today I love to find vintage amps and speakers. Carver amps have always been the best to me so I’m excited to be a part of this group. Im in Los Angeles

I have Yamaha AV V665 receiver w/a vintage Yamaha direct drive turntable, B&W front speakers, NHT rear speakers and an Advent subwoofer w/a built in 500 watt Sunfire Amp. I use a B&W Zeppelin in my bedroom, an old Nakamichi CD player speaker unit in the study and a very old B&O CD/audio cassette player in the study. The Advent sub is a bit much for my apartment and I’m looking to unload it.

It’s a Yamaha D6 TT. ive always liked the Sunfire Cinema for my needs-i have a small apartment so one day i aspire to a dedicated audio room for music listening (I’m a musician) and I’d love a pair of Legacy Accents or even Martin Logan electrostats (totally different sound, i know) and in that case I’d go with an M1.5 amp this is bad time economy wise to audio equip dream, but I have been playing/writing more music at least.

The TDR 2400 double cassette in another piece id love to have.

Welcome, @Ln310, to the Jungle ..., to our jungle..., er, I mean, The Carver Site! This economic thing will pass, and if you hang with us "enablers" that long, you'll soon be pushing that receiver through a couple of Carver M1.0t MKII modded power amps, and you'll know what speakers were designed to do ! LoL. What kind of gigs, music, do you play? Glad you joined. Welcome. Your journey into OCCD starts NOW.
