  1. Wow! I can hardly believe they would leave the place in such a sad state. One can only hope it was mostly disco.
  2. Thanks! What great info and shopping tips. Let put it on the site player (even though I enjoyed the Peter Gabriel).
  3. GULP! Sticker shock alert! BTW Kevin, that really is thinking outside the box.
  4. 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!
  5. Welcome home Klh! You must be my brother from another mother as we seem to have much the same taste in gear and music.
  6. Welcome! Great amp to start a Carver obsession with. Nice system and I love those big Maggies!
  7. 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.
  8. Final quote of Socrates: "I drank what?"
  9. Welcome back! Good luck with your equipment search and Sub build.
  10. I hear you Snow! By the time I got to the thread I forgot why I clicked it.
  11. "In the immortal words of Socrates... I drank what?" - Val Kilmer as Chris Knight in the 1985 film Real Genius
  12. IN-deed! Thanks for the great karma offering.
  13. WELCOME! It sounds like you have a really great start on a bad case of O.C.C.D. that I'm sure will be all consuming once you have heard the difference between the unmodified C-4000 you enjoyed and the BillD modified C-1. I believe the C-1 to be a cleaner more musical sounding preamp to start with, but the BillD treatment lowers the noise floor to such a degree you will be astounded. I have also become extremely enamoured with the modified C-1 sound and the significant work of it's engineer (BilldD) as well as the many fine techs here on this site who have learned to duplicate and build upon that genius. I also have a C-4000 in the process of being modified and look forward to hearing the transformation it will surely undergo. I look forward to hearing your review and opinion of the BillD modified C-1. I have said before that adding one to your system is like getting an all new and better sounding set of gear. As our good friend Zumbini would say.: "Enjoy the music!"
  14. This is what it's really all about! The music! What a bunch of fantastic music collections and great stories about how this music came into your lives all together or one piece at a time. Thanks guys!

    Inception

    I never did all that well on the spatial orientation tests, so the visuals blew my mind! I agree the plot did get a little thin there. Awesome roof shaking home theater surround film though!
