Hey Jim,
I think Tung-Sol are a good choice for the tubes.
Might be nice to have a cost-plus option for Psvanes.
I use vintage RCA 6550s in my 275 and agree...they sound outstanding.
Bye the way...I love the look of the Black Magic 25.
Welcome @timothyrdykes!
Carver C-1 w/ BillD upgrade and a M-1.0t w/ MKII upgrade are excellent choices.
Thumbs up for having Nelion do the work on them...
Welcome @2muchbass!
Congrats on your Carver equipment acquisition
Search the site and read up on the BillD mod for your C-1
and Nelion's MKII upgrade for the M-1.5t.
Just saying...not trying to be an enabler 😂
Another option which would allow for your peak limit & auto-correlation needs
would be to add a Phase Linear PL-1000 series II Noise Reduction component to
use in conjunction with a Carver 4000t preamp.
Welcome @RBQ!
You might want to research the MKII upgrade for your M-1.5t from Nelion Audio.
Did you do the WOPL modification your PL 400 II?
Both are nice amps! Good luck with your upgrade/refurb project.
What AJ said....well love pictures
WELCOME @danno266!
Glad you joined us........
You did good sending that M-500t to Greg At Nelion!
You're going to love the MKII upgrade!!
+1 on the Carver/Polk combination...
