boris279 20 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hello my name is Boris I am from the Netherlands, but live momentarily on Curaçao. I looked for some time on this forum, to see all those nice Carver gear. for my self I own some Carver gear too, tree M500 amplifiers, that I sought and bought online, in broken condition that I repaired and upgraded to mk2 condition. and two C1 that I upgraded to Bill D specification. The M500 amplifiers I use to drive my Vandersteen 2ci loudspeakers, I use 2 in mono block configuration to drive the midsection, and one amplifier to drive the high section of the loudspeakers. And one Yamaha M45 to drive 2 Polk audio subwoofers. The sound quality of the Carver, is in my ears after some trail and error and tweaking amazing, really love that gear. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boris279 20 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I was stationed at Curaçao when I was in the Navy. Moved later back, because a company offered me a contract as a computer technician, after a while I decided to stay on the island, and work as a independent technician. below a picture of my gear, it’s a collection of equipment that I collected over the years. (I left the red Led’s in the C1’s because I like them more, than the blue, people use now a days) My latest addition is a Kyocera DA-910 CD player, that I hooked up with my Carver gear. And I must say, i am really impressed with this combination. Edited October 8, 2021 by boris279 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, when it comes to LEDs, just like music, it's personal preference. Red is cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
