kittoartista 7 Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 I'm new here, thank you, thought I'd join the group to see other Carver owners and their gear, I just purchased a TFM-15CB power amp, powering my Ohm Walsh 4 speakers, with a Micro Seiki MB-14 turntable. 5

Rodango 4 Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Hi Folks, Dave here and I am glad to sign up and meet you all. I have been an audiophile for the past half-century - and 50-years ago is when I got my first reel-to-reel. All my custom builds to date have been tube-based but lately, I have been quite impressed the high sonic quality that good solid state can produce. One of the nice things about tubes is that they provide natural sounding odd-order harmonics. That's because closed tubes by definition have a node at one end and antinode at the other, so there's no way for even-numbered frequencies to be present. But ever since I picked up my Carver AV- 705x, and used it for music, I have been thinking “Who needs this odd-order harmonic “dirt”?" Edited July 21, 2022 by Rodango accuracy 4

Brian_at_HHH 2,692 Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Welcome to the site - both of you! Nice setup, @kittoartista! What are you using for a preamp? @Rodango, you'll find plenty of kindred spirits, here. Once you have a few posts under your belt, we'd love to see pictures of your gear! 1
kittoartista 7 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Posted August 13, 2022 Thank you Brian, for a preamp, I have a Superphon Revelation II, for my cds, Oppo BDP-105, just like you, great unit, I like to play SACDs, and I have a Harman/Kardon CD291 cassette player, have lots of miscellaneous tapes that I recorded back in the 80's, they sound muffled, but I still love them, it's about the music, isn't? I had a Marantz 250 amp, I know iconic, but somehow not satisfied traded it for the Carver amp, like it better. 1
