MLB111 191 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Howdy all. Joined a couple of weeks ago and decided it was time for introductions. I have had three different systems which, unfortunately, correspond to my different marriages. Started with Yamaha, progressed to larger Yamaha separates, Crown Psa2s and then Parasound HCA 3500s Still have the Parasound HCA 3500s and Crowns, Audiolabs 8000c, Yamaha T-2, Marantz CE63se, AR303As and B&O 4004 turntable. Just recently picked up a c-1 and m500 from a forum member. Found a nice M500t which I had to have. This corresponds to being out of the house for the 4th time. Always liked the Phase linear and Carver components. Have not had a system up for 18 years and still don't. I read the missives on repairs and questions on problems; but, have no desire for any kind of repair. Every time I put my hand and fingers where they do not belong I get burned, shocked, or married. The last being inclusive of the first two. I plan to flesh out the Carver system with a TX-11a or b. Great site. 3 1 2
Sk1Bum 11,390 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Greetings MLB111 and welcome to Carver Site. That's a lot of great gear there, and I hope you didn't lose it to the ex(s).
Daddyjt 9,612 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I'm sure many of us can relate to much of what you have said:-) Welcome aboard, glad to have you!
zumbini 6,147 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Howdy@MLB111and welcome to the forum. Thanks for the intro. Hope you stick around and enjoy your stay with us. We have an eclectic mix of music/audio/Carver gear lovers, techs and DIY'ers here so don't worry about not being "hands on".
MLB111 191 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 Thank you for the welcome and sentiments. Lucked out in that none of the women like music like I do. However, my time references always go back to a period of a certain woman. Funny how that works for me. Daddyjt just read the words above Reeves. Pretty much says it all. PMAT had to look that woman up. Didn't think it could get better; it does. 1
Dennis47 971 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 WELCOME! Good choices on your first Carver components.....
oldtexasdog 2,456 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Welcome MLB111 haven't had as many throws as you have had but found this site after the last one 10 or so years ago and have found it a great place ever since. Sit back and enjoy the ride. As far as the rest Wellll________ Happy Easter
MLB111 191 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Posted March 31, 2018 Thank you Dnspy007 and Oldtexasdog for the warm welcome. I have been dropping by for sometime and like it here. At some point I need to get some parts of my components up and running. I have not had anything up for almost 18 years. Not sure what works and what will not. Had been living off the grid and was not sure how it would affect the electronics so I never attempted to set my system up. I really liked off-grid living. Now I have to over come the inertia and get something going. Really do like my music. 1
iamjohngalt 2,764 Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Hi, MLB, and welcome. I agree with others who note that you have chosen good Carver components to start your journey to musical nirvana. Please post some photos when you get your gear set up to your liking. Don't worry about having to work on your Carver gear; there are numerous experienced Carver tech mavens here to call on.
MLB111 191 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Posted March 31, 2018 Thank you Iamjohngalt. I appreciate your welcome.
