I have good stuff -
Even out side on my deck I have a Carver 705 mounted underneath.  I bi-amp stereo with it, and like it so much I have a new one still in the box for when this one fails.

Still, I need some Sunfire.  I suspect my ears will be unable to hear much difference as I am not an audiophile - but in my mind - need Sunfire -  8)

I just like staring at the pretty tubes. :P  OO,when you start looking, go for a TGP-1.  Awesome two channel characteristics. Never listened to one in surround.

You are getting lucky also.  The phono board would not work in my unit. You get mine with the remote.  Good thing your name is Tom!

All is well now. T, you just lost the remote. There was a jumper that had to be changed on the power supply board.
