  1. Several months later than your post, the answer is yes. I downloaded a flac copy from HDTracks.com.
  2. Some system photos via phone. Only 1 Carver piece - the TX1-11. And then some speakers.
  3. All - thanks for the welcome. PMAT - speaking of pictures, it may not be PC but I do like the GIF in your avatar. Per your request, I will take a few and reply back later. Also, on that thought, I was wondering how the album art is being handled in the "What are you listening to now" thread? I ask, because the OP said to not attach images, but to attach links. Is that what I see is image links?
  4. Thanks weitrhino. Next time I need to do some system maintenance, I will pull the top off the TX1-11 and take some photos for reference here. To answer your question, I use a (now discontinued) Winegard HD6055P, mounted on a tripod with a 10' mast, on the top of my 2 story farm house.
  5. I found this site while doing some research on my TX1-11 FM processor. A little background - I have been an audio hobbyist since my early teens and it still is a vital activity for me now that I am in my 6th decade. Back in the day I used vinyl, FM and RTR tape as sources. RTR tape morphed into high end cassette, vinyl morphed into many CDPs, then CDPs with DACs, and now wireless streaming of primarily my own lossless music library to a SB Duet or Touch. FM has been a constant, although the gear has changed from a kit built Heathkit receiver and a Dynaco FM5 to the separate tuners listed below. My son has my first Carver piece, a C-1. As noted at the beginning of this post, I do have a TX1-11, which is coupled to a Nakamichi 430 (currently) or a Yamaha T-85 tuner. I live in a rural area a long way from my preferred classical station, so sensitivity in the tuner, plus the noise and multipath processing that the TX1-11 can provide, yields a very decent signal. As a matter of my experience, my FM listening is significantly enhanced by the TX1-11 over either tuner alone. As the unit is easily disengaged, I can take it out of the loop for the few strong signals that I can receive. Speaking of the TX1-11, are there any "inside the chassis" photos on this site?
