BillWojo 542 Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Hi folks. I just picked up a C11 preamp with all the BillD mods along with a PM600 amp and TX-8 tuner from a fellow member hear from Reading PA. Running it through a set of DCM TimeFrame 600 speakers and it sounds so clean. Dead silent when it should be, clean and crisp on the vocals and .....just, just....WOW! Now I understand what all the fuss is about. Source is a Sony CDP-C75ES CD player. I ordered a Subbu DAC from the Diyaudio forum and when that arrives that will go between my CD player and the pre, it can only get better. I can't imagine. Well I want to thank all of you folks for making up my mind, I was up till 1am last night reading on Carver's. I'm sure I made the right decision. This replaces a Denon PCM-720 intergrated amp. Thanks again! BillWojo

BillWojo 542 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Posted November 28, 2014 Hi Guys, thanks for the warm welcome. I'd love to post pics but right now it's all a mess. Once I get everything straightened out I'll take some pics. Been listening to this system since I got home, just love the sound. Scott, it was a pleasure doing buisiness with you and thanks for helping me carry it out to my car. Hope you get that Scott you have your eye on. Those EV's need to be rocking. Take care and thanks.

zumbini 6,147 Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Howdy Bill and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new (to you) equipment. ENJOY THE MUSIC!
BillWojo 542 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 Hi guys, seems you all want photos, well I can direct you to a post by member Scottsonon in the Trading Post section. It's right at the top, look for "Carver stack for sale or trade". He even has a link to the mods he did on the C11. I can't beleive how good this setup sounds. As you can see, he did a very nice job on the C11. I found an add posted by him on Craigslist, after a bit of research on this forum, well you know the rest. BillWojo
Daddyjt 9,627 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Welcome Bill! Glad you found this little corner of the web, where we live and breathe audio, and specifically the acquisition/enjoyment of Carver gear. Sounds like you're well on your way - enjoy the company and the knowledge base of the members:-)
CT-Seven 764 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Found this guy over at Tapeheads sent him over as this is "THE PLACE TO BE" 1
BillWojo 542 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 Yep, and this is the best audio forum that I've been on. I'm lucky to have aquired a stack of Carver goodies as I'm afraid that I might get that dreaded OCCD syndrome. So why was I looking on Craigslist today and what was that trip to the thrift store that usually has audio stuff about? Hmmmmm. The more I listen to my new setup the more I'm digging it. I feel like I've joined a Carver secret society, if everybody knew what we know, the prices on this gear would skyrocket. Lucky for us, most folks have never heard of Carver. BillWojo
Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,483 Posted November 29, 2014 Community Admin Posted November 29, 2014 Welcome Bill. That's a nice "entry" stack.
