Just a simple introduction to the "Old Man"

[Old Man 8]

Good Day to all; Just joined up a few weeks ago. Introducing myself as the Old Man (and I am). I've had Carver gear for a long time now, since it was new as a matter of fact.

Started buying the gear when I got out of the Air Force in 74. One of my friends had an amp and I really liked the sound of his system. 

I own a few now. Ive got a C500, with a C4000 preamp. I also have a M200t on the bench right now doing some repairs to it (Thanks for the manuals!)

I have a AVR100 that I love for my TV room with a DTL-200 player.

Collect Vinyls and have a decent Rega P3 turntable. My C500 drives Polk ES60 column Speakers and Klipsch RP8000 for surround.

Not the best of the best but better than these old ears can discern. Bit of a Jazz buff and a classical nerd so I need something decent.

I just wanted to ring out to everyone here and say HI!

Hello Old Man (there are a few of us) and welcome to thecarversite.com Glad you found us.

 

There are quite a few threads on the M200t, and a few on the C4000. I hope you find what you need or want.

 

Smooth jazz is the bulk of my listening for the last few years with some blues and classic rock thrown in from time to time. I like classical too, but I've not listened to that for a while. Hmm, thanks for reminding me. I'll queue up some Beethoven later.

Welcome from VA!  Enjoy your stay!

 

Glad to have you with us!  Sounds like you got a nice system there.  Would be cool to see some pictures of it when you get the chance.

Welcome.  We’re almost all old(ish) guys here, so you’ll fit right in!

Welcome! Sounds like you have some nice gear there.

Welcome @Old Man.  So glad you found us.

 

I have one of those C400 amps, paired with a 4000t preamp (very similar to the C4000).

 

Glad you found us.

 

Start a thread on your amp project..., we love pictures and watching the resurrection of a good piece of gear!
