Thank you for this valuable resource to keep the early engineering of Bob Carver alive and well and in addition, find ways to improve upon greatness as technology advances. I remember being 7 or 8 and visiting my aunt and uncle in their newly built home (aunt was an architect) in Litchfield, CT and seeing and hearing the Carver gear my uncle had. I knew that I would one day have this kind of rugged and powerful audio gear in my collection. Fast forward 20 years and ebay on the scene and I purchased a C1, M1.0t, and later a C-4000. Still have them but need to repair/upgrade the C1 and C-4000 and would like to upgrade the M1.0t as well. I consider myself above average in soldering skill so am very interested in DIY. I look forward to being a part of the Carversite community.
