ChrisTFM35 667 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Hello everyone. I'm Chris and I've been lurking on the forum for a while and decided to join. I have a Carver C-1, 2 Carver TFM15CB in mono and Paradigm Studio 40 speakers. I also have a Sony SACD player and a Philips 887 turntable. I grew up with that same C-1 mated to a TFM35, which my Dad owns. He got us into Carver gear and all of these years later not much has changed. I look forward to exploring this site now that I'm a member. Thanks! Chris
tlkohler 106 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome aboard Chris. Glad to have another Pennsyltuckyite that is also a Carver owner here on the site. Terry
Gene C 1,748 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome aboard Chris! You know it's customary to display photos of your gear around here.
slbenz 110 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Chris, welcome to the forum from a member living in Silicon Valley. Sounds like you and your family have enjoyed your Carver equipment a long while.
dcl 3,276 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Howdy, Chris! Carver is in your ancestral tree, so to speak. We all have diverged from a common ancestor, The Bobfather. Lots of helpful members with extensive knowledge; a great community to learn within.
fill35U 1,846 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome to theCarversite, Chris! We can probably help you find another TFM-35. Or three! OCCD is a harsh mistress...
Community Admin AndrewJohn 10,449 Posted April 3, 2014 Community Admin Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome to the forum, Chris. This the right place to nurture OCCD (Obsessive Carver Collecting Disorder). Some say it's in your DNA. My son has it too. Pics of your gear always welcome.
BarryG 2,853 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome Chris, I am from just the other side of the Mason Dixon in MD. It is good to see you here, lots of good folks and information about anything Carver and audio in general. Enjoy your stay, pull up a chair turn on some tunes, and stay a while! Have a great day, and remember Resistance is futile, so let OCCD take its course! BarryG
zumbini 6,147 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Howdy Chris, and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you onboard. Hope you stick around for a while. Please don't make us beg you for system photos!
Zoom 373 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome, Chris! I also have a TFM-35 and a C-11 pre, the slightly newer version of the C-1. Great gear! As Zumbini tactfully requested, we hawk everyone for 'pichers'. Cool to have ya onboard.
ChrisTFM35 667 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks everyone! My Father just left my house. This is day two of the C-1 testing. Mr. Bob Carver repaired it for us and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the workmanship and the quality of the audio. Yesterday was our first day of getting together. We spun lots of vinyl - the re-released Band of Gypsys, Band on the Run, Georgia Satellites...and cds - Sticky Fingers comes to mind as does some Sinatra. We used the Sonic Holography, selected and un-selecting it during many of the tracks to dial it in. Today was more experimentation with Sonic Holography, on CD strictly. We started out with the Legacy re-release of Brubeck's Time Out, then Time Further Out, them The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour from the stereo box set. We were both very impressed with how everything performed. It seems it gets better the longer I play it. I promise pictures will be posted!
pindrop 330 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome to the site Chris, glad you decided to join us. I've owned a set of Studio 20's since '98 when they first came out and have been unable to part with them ever since. I joined the site not too long ago and have begun my exploration into the Carver gear, these guys are not kidding about that OCCD. The more I buy the more I see I have to have.......good luck.

Nahash5150 10,685 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Welcome Chris! We're big fans of the C-1 too. We're all kinda gear heads but in the end, it's about the music.

ChrisTFM35 667 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 And thank you! Today I'm trying to get the speakers in the proper place for the sonic holography to work.
