I haven't got into any of the Carver car audio stuff - I rarely come across any of it at the typical flea markets or yard sales I enjoy stopping at, but I always look for anything with the name 'Carver' on it. It would be interesting to know how many units they made here in the U.S. - car audio is somewhat interesting as items rarely get pulled from cars when sold and most car stereo shops just toss old equipment and install new. Car audio can be very rewarding given how much time many of us spend in our cars, but it also can be challenging.

Greetings everyone. I just found this site and have already enjoyed cruising through a lot of the info and discussion. I run a small audio company that manufacturers car speakers for the Mazda Miata line of autos, so of course I enjoy all things audio. My interest in Carver goes back to when I was young and worked in broadcast radio for a bit. The Carver stuff was what I wanted but couldn't afford, lol. I helped put myself through college fixing stereos and VCRs and installing car stereos. Now as a hobby and to relax, I buy nice equipment pieces when I come across them, repair and restore them, and move them on (usually) to friends. I'm finishing up a C4000 preamp now (a really nice pre-amp) and have a M500 amp and TX11 tuner waiting to be looked at. I've also been sidetracked into fixing up five (yes, five) Nakamichi BX-300 cassette decks - it's a story My own home audio system is built around a CT-Seven preamp, a big Dynaco 400 amp I built about 40 years ago, and some custom speakers I also built. I look forward to 'meeting' everyone here on-line. Glenn
