Many years ago I applied to this website for membership and received an email saying that it was being considered and I would receive another email if accepted. However that email never came, so I just went on. At the time I owned a TX 11b Tuner, C-16 Preamp, TFM X35 Power Amplifier, TD 1700 Cassette Deck, and SD/A 490t CD Player. While working, I had an unwanted visitor who permanently borrowed ( stole ) my entire system. So now I am going to start looking to replace it. My current system is a Sony 90ES System, but I truly miss the sound quality and performance of the Carver.
