????????????

Welcome !! Glad you found us. You will find all kinds of great information and people here. There are no dumb questions - ask anything and it is likely someone here will have an answer for you. Look around - there's a wealth of information on many subjects and it is free for the reading. If you think you might want to "upgrade" or add to your system while hanging out here, I have a suggestion for you - take out your wallet. Look it over very carefully. Admire how well it conforms to your pocket after having had it for so long. Now look at it very seriously and say "Good bye"... These folks will cost you some $$$. ?

Thanks Mr. Krow. Your commentary is appreciated and timely. I hope it is apparent to all of the membership that ALL of the folks who help to keep this asylum on-line really do appreciate the members and the wealth of camaraderie that comes with a forum and events like CarverFest. It is easy to get caught up in day-to-day life - things happen and forums certainly aren't the most important thing in your life. That means if one wants to be a productive, respectful, participating member it takes effort - and we all recognize that. It is important that we all try to make the most of this awesome opportunity to learn about and enjoy the magic of music reproduction with electronics - Bob Carver style. ? If I were to sum up what we all need to remember and promote all the time, it would be respect. To get it you have to give it freely - without expecting it in return. My rant is done - I have amps to build !!! ?

Welcome and so sorry for what is about to happen to your wallet !!! ? Seriously - MKII Opt 2 that M1.0t and refresh the caps in the M1.5t and you will enjoy them for a long, long time.

To all the good people on our forum - Greg and I have been working to get everyone's medals assigned. As of 11:15 AM ET today (9/16/2018) I believe I have finished going through the original site list. If you feel I have missed one you had previously, please send me a PM so I can look into it. Please be patient because we all have day jobs too. ? Thanks for your patience. Brian

Hey Eddie - good to see you post !! It was good to spend time in "the smoking lounge" and thanks for working your mixing magic on the burgers !! Poor Greg got drafted into the grill duties but did a great job of controlling the grease fires !! Be safe driving home !!! Brian

Welcome (again) !!! Circuits & Concepts is your best source for the cap upgrades for both of the series of amps.

Because Hollywood sucks big ones, my favorite can't be my favorite. Jack Reacher is supposed to be a 6' 5" blond haired, blue eyed, 260lb bad-ass. If you read the book series he is the epitome of a bad ass good guy. How the hell Tom Cruise got picked to play him is beyond me ? As South Park said, I'm still waiting for Tom Cruise to come out of the closet !!!

Welcome !! Thanks for joining the asylum !! We love getting new inmates... Get a partial refund, keep the amp and use the $$ to have it refreshed. It's a great unit and it probably would enjoy working in your system for many years to come.

Good point Greg. I don't wonder. When people don't like what measurements have to say, they typically avoid stating them. Kinda like wires and such. 12 AWG is fine for supplying 20 amps @ 120VAC to a table saw (2,400 watts, BTW) but somehow it isn't up to par for sending 1,000 watts to a speaker ?? People are funny. :-) Flame suit on !!! :-)

My younger brother bought "Leftoverture" when it came out. I remember listening to "Carry On Wayward Son" and trying to understand what the lyrics were all about. Once we got our fill of that song, I actually listened to the rest of the album. "What's On My Mind" is one of the better songs on the album. Crazy - I thought it sounded so good on a Sanyo receiver with a built-in turntable and cassette deck. My older brother was more of a hard rocker. He heard us listening to the Kansas album and made a derogatory comment. Two days later he walked into my room and gave me this album. He insisted I play the 1st track right then. He is 10 years older than me and was my idol at the time. I threw it on the turntable and was instantly hooked. I still think this is their best work ever.

Thanks for including us in your Carver journey. If you get stumped don't be afraid to ask - there's lots of talent here. Be sure to throw some pics of your set-up in the Member Systems section. Enjoy !!!

Misplaced Childhood is one of my favorites !!! The funny part is everyone here knows Kevin isn't joking !!!
