Back in the day, Rick made "pucks" to place under our equipment and called them "Rizers". Some were solid and used to lift the equipment up to allow better airflow, others were filled with sorbothane to help absorb shock under equipment. They came in a couple of thickness' or height. I have many rizers and they are under most of my equipment. They are the silver pucks under my 275's and under the Cinema Grand in the pics.

Alan Parson has redone "Tales of mystery and imagination", "I robot", "Pyramids" and is just about to release "Eye in the Sky" - All in BluRay Audio Atmos..

If you run across Alice Cooper's autobiography, Me, Alice, buy it without hesitation. There was only one printing that I'm aware of, and even a tattered copy can fetch $500 or more on ebay. An autographed copy with the jacket can fetch $3K or more. I have a perfect copy with the jacket (no autograph) that my brother bought for $3 at a used book store.

WELCOME BACK @RickO(Mr. M-500t)! Been here since Feb. of 2009...does that count as an old timer?

Hello everybody. Who's left from the old days ?

Those are nice!!! I do something similar using black ABS 1.5" pipe. Using my chop saw, I cut the height I'm trying to achieve, and use that as a spacer. I place the stock Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers from Carver in the center so they can't slide out, and put a layer of felt on the contact cut-end. I need to get a picture - and may have posted one a while back (years). My goal with this approach is to get the same aesthetically pleasing distance between the front faceplates of my Carver pieces. It always bugged me that the stock button feet from Carver varied so much, as also did the lip-distance (overhang and underhang) of the faceplate above and below the chassis.

I was at Walmart when I got a taste of this although it was an instrumental version... Step into your last goodbye... Alice Cooper Desperado

Hi Rick, Good to get back in touch. I still have the two M-500t's I bought from you with the blue lights. How are things in Washington? Very few of us original Carver site folks left. Sad but true. Later, Skip "Sashquach"

Craig Chaquico & Russ Freeman, From The Redwoods To The Rockies (album)

This came up on SiriusXM this morning; I just about hear this whenever I climb on the bike for a spin

Welcome back. I probably got a few sets of risers from you.

I'm 62, mechanical engineer and listen to hard rock, classical guitar. I owned a Carver CT-7 Preamp and loved it and had questions about Carver amps.

The Doobie Brothers Long Train Running

Welcome back! I've only been here 5 years. But, nice to meet an "OG". You all started a very cool community.

@Charlie The MoFi version of Benson's LP is outstanding! My fave of his has got to be White Rabbit.

I can change the email address on your old account - it's still in the database. Just PM me and I'll get it set up for you.

This came up on WOCL FM Deland FL (About 60 miles from me) Definitely uneasy... Charlie Daniels Band

My daily dose. The Rippingtons, Welcome To The St. James Club (album)

The Eagles I Can't Tell You Why

Pete Townshend Let My Love Open The Door

Yep, know that side of the water. Many moons ago, did a large networking project for the 480th. Enjoyed going there every day for about 6 months.

T-Square, Wings (album)

@Half Life Thanks. And the answer is Yes! Forget about the grass too many CCR records to spin. I use to live on the other side of the James River for over a year, long ago, Langley. Spent many a weekend at Virginia Beach, Norfolk for a variety of reasons. These are the other units on the left side of the three bay.

Currently trying to repair an Amber 3501 test set...circa 1988. Checking out whether it might be possible to improve the input section with modern semiconductors...particularly since the 2SK146 Dual JFETs are unobtainium....Thinking some members might give me some pointers.

Welcome! In addition to the InterFET part @Half Life mentioned, you can also take a look at the LSK389C. It might be a bit less expensive.

You are welcome! Another thing you can do is search on eBay for a printer that is producing a hard copy of the manual. Use "Marantz SR 6012 manual" and a few vendors should come up. Look for the ones who do it in color as it will be the better alternative to black and white.

Chris Parker Septet, Reunion was released on March 6, 2026. "It is evident from the first tantalizing notes of "Emmy's Shuffle" that Parker chose his songs and his companions with care. The septet performs seamlessly as a unit and boasts a number of strong and resourceful soloists, from saxophonist Alejandro Aviles and trombonist Doug Beavers, to baritone Dave Riekenberg, violinist Rob Thomas and Parker himself, who plays the sort of chameleon-like piano that nestles comfortably in any groove—which is a good thing, as the scope of his music ranges from blues and bop to funk, Latin, mainstream jazz and beyond."
