pittpa 23 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I have had a Carver CT-7 and M1.0T for some time now. Klipsch RB81-ll and a MK V75-ll sub move the air. CDs are played on a Sony DVP-S7700, and vinyl on a Technics SL-D2. I don't listen to very much vinyl. I have a Sony Blueray player as well as a Panny Plasma TV for Youtube and such with a Roku Ultra. Most items were bought used (the turntable and Sony DVP I found at flea markets for $20 each.) If you are from SW PA you may know of Trader Jack's flea market. This is a fairly inexpensive system overall, the Klipsch being the only things I bought new. The Carver pieces I bought from a local dealer that had closed up shop and was emptying his garage so he could move to Florida, (I also bought a pristine Sunfire True Sub Mark ll from him for my living room home theater, but it was too much for my high rise apartment, so I sold it.) I found all of the used stuff when I wasn't even looking specifically for it. I was at that local dealer's house buying a used DSLR and he showed me his garage full of stuff. I'm lucky to be single and have a guest room dedicated to my stereo setup (and ammunition press), but it is still guest friendly with a futon. I followed Bob Carver's instructions for speaker setup and find the sonic holography impressive. I'm considering upgrading to AL-lll plus speakers and possibly a Nelion upgrade for my amp. I load my own ammo because I shoot NRA Bullseye/Precision Pistol with an 8" Colt Python in a local league. Regards, Dave. 5

Sk1Bum 12,859 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Hello pittpa and welcome to the carversite.com. Glad you found us. Congrats on the gear scores, and that Colt is a mighty nice revolver. I used to have a Dirty Harry S&W Model 29 with the 8" barrel. My oldest daughter has it in her gun safe now. She won't give it or my stainless Ruger MKII .22 back. "...but Dad, those are my favorites..." We have a gun thread that gets active from time to time. You can find it here: Again, glad you found us and welcome aboard. 1

Looks just the same with a slightly bigger bore. i've been shooting a Ruger Mark ll for my rimfire pistol in the league for 35 years. My current one is a stainless slab sided Competition Target model with a compensator and a red dot. I don't think I can post pics yet. 2

"...but Dad, those are my favorites..." The first Ruger is my match pistol. The Python is a 38 Target model, from around 1981. I bought it new in the early 90's and have been shooting it in matches for over 30 years. The Smith and Wesson 25-9 pic is from the net, I don't have a good pic of it. . I thought you might enjoy the polished Mark ll I picked up. The targets are from an indoor match, both timed fire. Both guns weigh in around 4#, match rules dictate one-handed shooting. I shoot the Python double action for timed and rapid fire. I'll post equipment pics later. PS, i spend more money on guns that stereo equipment. Edited February 26 by pittpa 2
Sk1Bum 12,859 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 @pittpa I moved your system pic to the Members Systems area. You'll find it here: No worries. That's an easy fix. If you want a different topic title, let me know. That's an easy fix too. 1
Zenith4me 1,570 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Welcome to TCS! Good to see that you can protect that Carver gear with a well aimed Colt Python. 1
