Hi All,
My first post was reply to a M-500t mk II owner and I was encouraged to post here.
Like many of you, I was too young and lacked the financial resources to buy Phase and Carver as new models.
After moving from audio to AV (and selling my Hafler and NAD equipment) I am now overly enthusiastic about buying all of the equipment that I 'missed out' on as a youth. A Sansui 9090db, Bose 901's (no flames please) and various Marantz components. I had seen a Carver 1.0t mk II listed at TMR and it peaked my interest. I googled what the "mod" was and it really peaked my interest. By the time I decided I should buy it (as I found out they are local in Denver) it was gone!
I recently dove in... an eBay listing on a M-500t mk II modified by Greg Garska. I overpaid but was ok with that in there is such a wait to get one modified. Unfortunately the dopey seller didn't pack it well and it arrived damaged. The seller was Canadian but it looks like the mod was done for someone from Georgia in September of 2012.
I know the first rule of the Carver Club but I do have many questions. I have not searched to see which area in the forum is appropriate yet (about the meters, can you bridge it, where people list their equipment etc.)
