tripwr1964 47 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) hi been at this (audio) awhile but new to carver and my recently acquired amazings (originals). ive always loved maggies and this was a natural choice for me. not sure if i am over my head on this or not. i quickly found out that my cary 120s amp wasn't going to do it. so need some amplification for these. also i purchased a NOS Platinum upgrade kit (got them yesterday) and one of the magnets is loose.... so sounding like a redo on those! urggg not sure i what to go there. the $$$ is already flying. you can see this magnet in my profile pic. i can upload yet...

Rockster2U 668 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Welcome to the Carversite. I read your comments re: posting jpegs and after Hashy’s response I see you already started a thread to get that post count and reputation points headed north. You are going to find this site to be a most valuable resource with members that are going to be able to guide you through most anything you are going to encounter. You’ll also find a lot of members that have similar experiences before joining the fold. I was a long time Marantz fan before converting to the Carver community and it didn’t take me long to dump a bunch of high end Vintage Marantz gear in favor of Carver Components. In any event, welcome aboard - Enjoy the ride. 4

Brian_at_HHH 2,691 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Welcome, and don't pay attention to the threats of OCCD. It's not real, and it's not addictive .... honest ... never happens .... oh @#$%, hide you wallet, now!!! Oops, it's too late, isn't it... well, at least it's not addictive - I know I can stop any time I want ... but why would I want to? Welcome to OCCD and the site! You have already started becoming assimilated, and you are in the right place to find people to encourage it. 3
dcl 3,276 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 "the $$$ is already flying." Amazings are my all-time favorites. You are not without good company here. It now seems elementary in retrospect (to me, a case in point) but amp power (more) is a rewarding investment. Welcome! 1

MLB111 191 Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 @tripwr1964 I should have mentioned that while these members are great people they are not a bit shy about helping you spend your money. And they are not subtle about it either. 3
