I'm not an "audiophile" but I have a compact Carver/Sunfire setup that has served me well for decades. I started with a new Carver "The Receiver" in the early '80s, recommended because it had the most sensitive FM tuner to capture a distant Baltimore station that broadcast the music I wanted (so I wouldn't have to buy vinyl and a turntable). It was only years later I discovered it had a model number, MXR-130. Later, I added a new Carver SD/A-360 5-disk CD player. The MXR-130 had one service back at Carver's Washington address, and in 2012, the CD-player was repaired by Rolland Barr in Oregon.
When streaming music was going mainstream (sorry) and the MXR-130 was showing its age after 30+ years, I bought a used Carver TX-11B tuner and a new Peachtree Nova amplifier with digital to analog converter, designed to accept the first Sonos Connect unit. I listed the MXR-130 and extra new parts for sale on a (now closed) Carver forum's classifieds, and it went to a woman in Pennsylvania.
Sound comes from a pair of PSB Image T5s and a Sunfire TS-SJ8 subwoofer in the living room, a pair of KEF-C shelf speakers in the library and a portable first generation Sonos Play 5 speaker that goes where wanted. And that's where it all stands today. Sonos wants me to upgrade equipment to operate on their new Sonos-2 software, but I'm dragging my feet on that because it'll require replacement of the Play 5 speaker, too. I'm afraid I am not well attuned to the whole streaming world and its multitude of convenient but odd-sounding choices.
Today, the SD/A-360 is packed in its original box for shipping to Mr. Barr in Washington for another service, so the Sonos and the TX-11B are picking up the slack until the CD-player's return.
I'll post the photos when allowed.
