trog69 5 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 So, I fell into a Carver M-500 on ebay. I am very excited for its arrival. I've loved the look of Carver gear since the late '80's when I first saw some. I hope I can get the amp in for the upgrades and repair, but first I will swap it into this system for a couple of months. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retriever 1,076 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ohh the fun is just beginning. Obsessive Carver Collecting Disorder. Welcome to the site. I started with my m400t rebuild 1 amp Did a second one, rebuilt a couple of m1.5ts bought and I upgraded a M500t to a MKII (really sweet sounding) now on my TFM45 rebuild. 6 amps and I have a mild case. Some guys here are over the top.. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk1Bum 9,930 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hello trog69 and welcome aboard. There's a LOT of useful Carver and other audio/home theater related information to be found here. Feel free to browse around, and Z mentioned pics. We do love to see system pics of all types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to wait for my granddaughter to come by, because my phone has a potato camera. heh. I have a very modest setup anyway. An Emotiva PT-100 pre-amp/DAC/tuner, the M-500 amp, a pair of Klipsch RP-160m's and an SVS PB-2000 sub. I've been working on the sound side of this gaming PC, so the Klipsch's are on this desktop in near-field, so no room correction or treatments necessary. As for music I'm that kind of old fart; right now I have Type O Negative playing, and I lean towards the blues and jazz fusion when I'm not headbanging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head banging Grandpa. I can relate to that. My grandson and I went to a Kiss/Def Leppard concert a couple of years ago. It was a great time, and no, it wasn't a stage in his corruption. It was mission accomplished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trog69 5 Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 I forgot to mention that, until the m-500 arrives the juice powering these Klipsch's is the TEAC AI-101DA, a 26w/ch. desktop amp/DAC. I love this tiny unit. It will power any of my speakers, including the KEF C-40s, B&W 601se's and others, but with the 96db Klipsch's it really shines. I won't be giving it away to anyone, unlike the Denon receiver I never got around to plugging in. Still sitting here on this desktop, unused. I planned on using it and doing a 5.1 setup, but I find that I prefer 2.1 and the TEAC has been more than enough for near-field, plus it's hi-res capable.

Retriever 1,076 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 We still enjoy pictures of any setup. Modest or not! What makes it special is its yours. Were audio buffs and its not a competition! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
