  1. Welcome to the show. Your OCCD appaars to be in full motion. Now that you have joined it will only get worse!!
  2. Welcome aboard! I am primarliy a 2 channel guy as well. I do have a HT setup that I dust off once in a while, when I decide to watch a movie (which is almost never). I have never heard a pair of the 901's but hear they are pretty high up on the rankings for the non Bose folks. Had a pair of 301 IV's back in the day, but that is far as I took it.. Anyhow, you will enjoy the wealth of information and helpful people on this site. Have fun!
  3. Welcome aboard! Yes, i think most of us here have parted with gear, either out of necessity or to move along to another piece of gear! I have had only a couple of pieces that I ever regret getting rid of, but the nice thing is, with the different venus for buying and selling on the good old interweb, there is always the chance of being able to find that piece that you had given up! I have been able to find several items that I've let go of and been able to replace. The only thing you can't get back is the satisfaction of being your original item.
  4. Welcome aboard. Sit down, buckle up, keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times! Mostly, enjoy the ride! Many good things on this site and great folk!
  5. Welcome aboard @Johnny_Law. As stated above, you will definitely get hooked. Especially when you get them up and running and hear them! The proof is in the pudding. And there is so much gear to explore with Carver.
  6. Welcome aboard. I've wanted to go after the M4.0t was a unit I lusted after for a long time. But then I went down the TFM road, and eventaully the Sunfire route! Still may go after one in the future. Great group of people here. Have helped me with issues I have run across in the past. Always willing to help. That is what is so great about this site!
  7. Welcome to the site! Although it wasn't the HR-772 that lead me down the rabbit hole which ended up here, it was the first piece I ever bought. Used it for a while, then it had some troubles. Marriage, a couple of kids, decided to get it fixed at a local shop. Then it all started! Now I have four Carver systems in my house, well a mix of Carver and Sunfire gear! My son currently has my HR-772 while he is living away while going to college! Stll a power house of a receiver. Remote quit several years ago, but not really into remotes anyway, so not worth trying to rememdy (universal remote may work, but felt it wasn't a need on my behalf!) Enyoy the ride and the people you meet here during your audio journey!
  8. Welcome aboard! Can't wait to hear about your new journey as it unfolds. As you will find out soon enough, one piece of Carver gear leads to another, then another. Then yet again, another!
  9. Welcome aboard. Nice score at the Thrift store. I never find anything like that. You should be able to get the advice you need hear to bring it back up to snuff, if not even improve it! Great bunch of peaple on this site that are will ing to share their experience and knowledge to help those in need.
  10. Welcome aboard. This is the spot to get help and advice. The technolgical abilities of the members on this board go above and beyond anyones expectations!
  11. Welcome aboard! Fasten your seatbelts as your journey is just about to begin!
  12. Although I am a vinly nerd, I am listenting to Days of the New on CD! Love the musciality of this disc! Very well recorded. It is my go to on my workbench as well! Really pushes the envelope for tone and dynamics!
  13. Ratamahatta - I have all three of those recordings on vinyl. Awesome albums. All of them have varied dynamics, and all sound fantastic! Great recordings. Will put any system to the test.
  14. As an experiment try moving the ribbons to the opposite sides from each speaker, when they are next to each other they lobe out and cancel each other. Hook up a mic and REW and you will actually see the SPL fall off. Even though it doesn't look as kool you can actually stand them directly behind each other and add a small delay and they will rock. I have 3 pair and have experimented with many different ways and x-overs systems.

      Moved them around and now both ribbons are opposite each other.  Not sure u really am noticing much of a difference.  But you know how our minds are, we can't remember what we heard 5 seconds before!  I will try out the one behind the other at some point!  Just enjoying the incredible sound my system is putting out!

      Well I should say, the are now so both ribbons are toward the center.  Next will be to put them so one is on the outmost end and the  other ribbon will be next to the center (audio rack)!  will be playing with arrangements to figure out what works best in my space!   It is such a horrible problem to have!  LOL!!
