Ljayinanc77 16 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Greetings from far left corner of the map. I found this site searching for information on the DTL 200mk2. I've been an audio enthusiast for as long as I remember, starting with my dad’s Silvertone Hi-fi. My first introduction to Carver was from a Stereo Review advertisement of Bob Carver's magnetic field amplifier challenge with Stereophile Magazine. I thought, if he can do this in a hotel room the equipment from the factory must something to have. Over the years I have acquired several items, (no speakers), that get pressed into service. Looking forward to sharing and exchanging with likeminded aficionados. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4krow 5,077 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Welcome. Yes, the Stereophile/Carver challenge was a head turner for a lot of us. Not that there weren't really cool products, but more than a few were not going to be owned us anytime soon. I owned some the others and I have owned some of the Carver. I am still stricken by what I have heard from the one Carver A220 that I owned. It wasn't Carver's top model or anything, yet there was an undeniable clarity that, if I hadn't already committed to a year long amp project, I still would have the Carver without a second thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ljayinanc77 16 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 This is a pleasant start to this association. Thank you all for the warm welcome. I thought I would be dating myself with the Silvertone reference, but I see there are some common roots feeding Carver interests. And, the DTL is back in service after the drawer belt replacement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
