Greetings from far left corner of the map. I found this site searching for information on the DTL 200mk2. I've been an audio enthusiast for as long as I remember, starting with my dad’s Silvertone Hi-fi. My first introduction to Carver was from a Stereo Review advertisement of Bob Carver's magnetic field amplifier challenge with Stereophile Magazine. I thought, if he can do this in a hotel room the equipment from the factory must something to have. Over the years I have acquired several items, (no speakers), that get pressed into service. Looking forward to sharing and exchanging with likeminded aficionados.

I've been into audio stuff for a while, heavily into it in the 90's with my car. Bought myself a PM-1.5t which I lent out and was never given back. Just found a 1.5t at a thrift store for $8. It works if you leave it on for about 1/2hr, but noisy A/F before that. Hoping to learn some stuff about this thing, and eventually bring it back to life.

I've quite a bit of experience with electrical repair (cars, home) and computers (replacing RAM slots type thing). I've repaired a fair amount of guitar amps, but mostly its just replacing switches and potentiometers, or fixing bad solder joints. I am comfortable with a soldering iron and hot air rework gun, and a family friend has a mountain of old diagnostic equipment (worked for the schoolboard, so oscilloscopes, frequency generators, variable power supplies, etc.).

Hello all, I bought my first Carver back in the mid 1980's at Harvey's in NYC, The Carver 900 Receiver. I regret selling it in 2007 for almost nothing. The Carver Receiver 900 was in great working and cosmetic condition. Just picked up The Carver Receiver MXR130 in great condition, love the sound. I hope to add to my Carver collection in the near future. This time it's for keeps.
