Hi,
I have owned my Carver AV199 amp, since sometime in the early 90s, when I bought it off a friend. I used it as my main system amplifier for all these years. In the last few years, it fell into disuse, because my family is grown up and gone, and I find I am watching and listening to more stuff through my computer.
I was using a JVC 8000R, to control the input from my computers and my other players, but it has recently started acting up, so I decided to install the Carver as my main amplifier downstairs.
I am looking to enjoy many more years of service from my "old" Carver AV amp, and to reading and learning from the people on this forum.
