Selling some Carver stuff... buy it
« on: September 24, 2014, 04:22:38 PM »
I am selling this gear.  DISCLAIMER: PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE, so I don't want to hear anyone say anything about "oh I won't pay that much for that".  Also, I'm putting this stuff on ebay in 48 hours, so be quick!

Carver C-1

Serial Number 333.  This one actually belonged to Tom (OCCD), so he'll vouch for how badass of a preamp it is.  It has been recapped, has a modified power supply, and it's one of very few C-1's that still have a legible faceplate.  It's in great shape, and sounds incredible.  I'm sad that I must part with it, but it's time to move on to something different.  Something this good shouldn't be sitting collecting dust.  $450 OBO.



Carver M-500 (no, not the T :D)
This thing has been recapped head to toe.  After about 10 or 15 hours of play, it really opened up.  Definitely the best I've heard when it comes to an M-500.  A great amp.  Unfortunately, it's not ballsy enough to power my new speakers, so I'm forced to get something bigger.  $450 OBO


Polk Audio Monitor 5 Jr.

Decent little speakers, but I don't have a use for them anymore.  They have passive radiators, and silver coil tweeters.  I have the grills for them as well, and they're in great shape.  The speakers do not need refoamed.  Maybe they could use new speaker jacks, but that's about it.  $100 OBO

I'd love that M-500, but it's not in the cards right now. Unless you wanted to trade for those Tannoy Studio Monitors. (Need cash on top for that).
