Kind of fun to be late to the welcome wagon party..., and go through all these questions and history in one read. Welcome to the forum, Chris Mach 1. Love the super vintage EV. I have some interesting stuff from the 70s too. Your pics are great !

Super - always go back to good things. Welcome. I remember "unpacking" my carver after one of those life shifts - it was like Christmas, all over again. Love to see pics.

A little nostalgia...

Hi Doug, I just emailed to you a PDF of the CT-29v Owners Manual. Let me know that you received it. If not, it is posted in the "manuals thread" link HERE. (scroll down, to the post with the link). Cheers, AJ

Welcome, Jim, from the other side of the Elgin toll booth... (St. Charles) This is the place, to be.Welcome, and glad you found us. Nothing against the TFM 25, but the m1.0t is going to bring so many more options. Then again, if you can get both, why not! Don't fight the OCCD, it's futile.

Welcome to the site, Doug. This IS the place to be. Like Gene noted, we should have the CT-29v manual very soon. [i have one - USPS says it's in my mailbox now - but i got home late from work, and it's too cold to go to the end of the lane to get the mail... ;-] So I'll get it scanned in a couple of days and will post it soon thereafter. Please check back on Friday night or Saturday or PM an email address to me off the forum, and I'll also send a PDF to you, directly. Do stick around - post some pictures of your rig, and brag a little! We like Pictures. cheers, AJ

Welcome Mark. That is cool, the idea and concept of common distance separation of the conductors and use of cotton as a dialectic. This is a very cool place - glad you found us. Once in a while, one of us does/says something that goes against the grain of another's opinion - but that's cool. No worries. We're all here for the right reason. OCCD (Obsessive Carver Collecting Disorder). That unique audiophile disease. Welcome, and pictures are good - they never have to be perfect. With smart phones, it's so easy to insert a picture in a thread, hear. Use the fourth icon from the right, at the top toolbar of the default editor. It will put the pics in your post, in-line with the text, and automatically resize them. Just follow the dialog box. (the "attach files" option is a bit more clunky.) As I looked at the cotton dialectic idea, I was thinking it would really look interesting dressed up with some TechFlex sheathing and some adhesive-lined shrink-wrap to dress the interconnect ends. IT comes in different sizes, and may also compress your cotton a little, making it more robust. Welcome, and keep us posted on your project.

"Information should be free." Attributed in many forms, to many sources, but said to have been specifically uttered by Peter Samson, legendary Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT circa 1959 and by Stuart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog, in 1984, at the first "Hackers Conference" (hacker meant programmer, in those days).

Mystic Rhythms: Rush's Neil Peart On The First Rock Drummer Interesting origins of his interest, and early influencers as well as seeing others play motivating "practicing" vs feeling "defeated" (reference to Clapton)... Story (online with video) Link HERE. Click the "Listen Now" link if you want to pop your media player, and listen to the radio show, as it played this morning. Podcast Audio Download (radio) Link HERE. Transcript (radio) Link HERE. I caught this story on Neil Peart with NPR's Steve Inskeep this morning in the truck. This week they are running a series called "Beat Week" under NPR's Music News column Yesterday, Morning Edition's David Greene spoke with John "Jabo" Starks and Clyde Stubblefield - drummers for James Brown. Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday...?

Welcome William ! Great to have you here on the site. We do love pictures - and with today's technology, it's so easy to share and post (use the fourth icon from the right, on the editor ribbon at the top (using the default editor). Follow the dialog box prompts. You'll find the techs that live on this site to be the best, and most generous, with guidance, balanced opinion, and good direction. And, you will soon develop OCCD, what we call Obsessive Carver Collecting Disorder - which, from first diagnosis, you appear to already be afflicted with! Glad you found us, and hope you stick around and enjoy the CarverSite as a part of it. Welcome! Cheers, AJ

How Cool. Welcome, Raven. Thanks for sharing Greg with us. Just added your writing to my reading list ! I may need you to help me convince my wife to come to CarverFest this year. She tolerates my addiction (OCCD) and I know she could grow to be more involved. Cheers, AJ

Travis fishing..., got me thinking it's been a while..., old times - high-school.

There are a number of good articles by Rich Warren on Audio - and several on Carver. There's one on his Sub I read list night. I won't hijack this thread - but for other "design" rational and thinking, these interviews, and Rich Warren's interest in the subject and style for writing, present some interesting color. He was syndicated in a number of papers. Google "rich warren audio chicago tribune" for more fun. Maybe later, I'll put "links" or articles in the "Carver in the News" topic/thread.

With a clip...

Carver Amazings, are my best of the best. I can relate. Welcome to this place - looking forward to seeing / reading more. Like Phil said, ... Would like to learn more about the black anodizing on the 500t's. Pictures and process? Welcome to TheCarverSite.

Speaking of postage..., to Canada. Dropped off my Christmas shipping, and took this picture. Cost is 3x to 4x, across the border to Canada. That's nuts!
