@everyone - Hey, wow, thank you all! I sure didn't expect this warm response. @Sk1Bum - My stepfather's favorite saying: illegitimus noncarborundum - so appropriate these days, no? @Dennis47 - don't know, but the Crimson sure looks good to me. I have a lot of research to do. 😀 @Zenith4me - heard that; everytime I see bad weather for other parts of the country I am grateful for the time I get to spend here. Happy 4th of July everyone - stay safe!!!

My audio odyssey has included many types of speakers and amplification and has led me to find that I prefer at least some tube amplification in my system (I guess I like that kind of distortion) and that I must have vinyl around to play when I have the time but that other formats are quite handy. I've not ventured into Carver equipment in the past because it seemed SS oriented when I was very focused on tube amplification. Now I see that Senor Carver has created some very nice tube equipment that I'd like to explore. In the immediate future, however, I've acquired a C-1 that I'd like to update/refurbish with BillD mods for which I see there is a lot of information here and elsewhere to digest. Alas, I have few skills in the area and I hope to meet up with folks here that can help in my quest. Oh, yeah, and I like a good Porter or Stout.
