Blues Pwr 766 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Congrats Bryan, nice system your putting together........
zumbini 6,147 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 RELAPSE! Glad you are making some headway towards putting your system back together Bryan. Are you gonna go with your namesake CT-Seven or move up to a Billd-modified C-1?
CT-Seven 764 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Fir now I have a hand me down yamaha rx-v2700
kingman 662 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I got a set of those Polks. Very nice and congrats in advance on building your system back!
CT-Seven 764 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks again for all the nice comments it really feels good to be back
Zoot Horn 5 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Congrats-- they will also respond nicely to toobs if you get the opportunity-- try em.
Zoom 373 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I love how my m-500t sounds. I think it's my best sounding Carver, and it has old caps!! I'm jealous. For a pre-amp, look for a C-11. They are reasonably priced, are pretty highly regarded around here, and there are mods for them also.
CT-Seven 764 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Im up to my neck with Daddytj so as soon as I am done I will seek a C11 too The M500(t) is a very crisp clean sound I am very eager to see how the MK-2 stacks up
zumbini 6,147 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 IThe M500(t) is a very crisp clean sound I am very eager to see how the MK-2 stacks up You won't be disappointed Bryan.
CT-Seven 764 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 Took the weekend to make the polks worthy and nice BEFORE: The tops had seen better days yet I was very fortunate that the sides where great for the age Per Daddytj and other members advice I tried the HOWARDS RESTORE A FINISH, maybe I was using it wrong but it seemed not to work, perhaps my scratches where too deep? anyway I decided to cut new tops NEW TOPS: TESTING 1: TESTING 2: PAIR TOGETHER: Now just need to finish the stands, stalk the postman for my mkII, and see if I can get a standfor the gear going
zumbini 6,147 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Nice job Bryan BTW: I took the photo links you posted and inserted them using the image editor.
