Wow! I can hardly believe they would leave the place in such a sad state. One can only hope it was mostly disco.

Great buys! From the looks of those components you appear to have received the deal of the century on the set. I'm guessing you will need to sink much more into bringing them up to date with new caps etc. Just know the results will be well worth it.

Thanks! What great info and shopping tips. Let put it on the site player (even though I enjoyed the Peter Gabriel).

SA-WEET!!! I love these older Infinity boxes. I have a pair of RS-5 with the same great looking oak finish and the cool veneer wrap on the corners as yours. I also have several pairs from the Quantum line that got me started on Infinity speakers. Congrats on the new speakers.

GULP! Sticker shock alert! BTW Kevin, that really is thinking outside the box.

Welcome and congrats on taking the plunge into the shallow gene pool that is O.C.C.D. infested with some of the greatest guys you will find on this planet (myself excluded)! I got hooked on Carver stuff while stationed in Germany in the late 70's (when it was still Phase Linear). My first amp was a Model 200 Series II and it rocked my Infinity Q Jr's!

Welcome home Klh! You must be my brother from another mother as we seem to have much the same taste in gear and music.

Welcome! Great amp to start a Carver obsession with. Nice system and I love those big Maggies!

Welcome! I also have an affinity for a few pieces of tube gear as well as the vintage I.C. analog stuff. I hope you enjoy it here.

Do I recall correctly that you have a special made rack for your headphone collection? What's the count up to? I hope you find these are keepers and enjoy them.

Welcome back! Good luck with your equipment search and Sub build.

They often come up on ebay and CL and a good deal can be found occasionally. Very solid and built like a BSH. Snag a pair, upgrade the crossovers and add tight little sub and you will be a very happy camper!

Good score Snow! I have been interested in those speakers and IMHO they are the only decent sounding Japanese speakers I have ever heard. Here are few links I found for refurb, mod or upgrade.: http://www.audioflat.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=159 http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Yamaha-NS1000.htm http://www.audiosmile.com/forum/showthread.php?p=274028 http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/126270-yamaha-ns1000-crossover-tweaks-20.html

I hear you Snow! By the time I got to the thread I forgot why I clicked it.
