I can. It's FUBAR, plain and simple. There are many things you can do to improve/upgrade though. Many aspects beyond space and acoustics depend on whether or not you have friends with the know-how and the tools to get it done correctly.

Try the Sumiko setup. Then come back and see if you have the same questions.

Jon? You there?

I would love to make it. There are just some systems that are set up so nice that they catch my attention. This one qualified. There is another member of this forum that would like to go as well. He's a good friend of mine and he's actually trying to talk me into getting the exact speakers you...

SUMIKO SPEAKER SETUP PROTOCOL Proper speaker set up requires music. John Hunter of Sumiko uses a Rob Wasserman song featuring Jennifer Warnes called "Ballad of the Runaway Horse". You will find this on his “Duets” cd and his “Trio” CD as well. This is the best set up song I have ever found. So...

Please forgive me for the shameless bump since we are on a time line with questions. Tom, please delete this post if this is not acceptable. Thank you. ;) The last date to be able to ask a question is the 5th of September. After that, you have lost your chance. Keep in mind that Bob is also...

Hello Tube60. I don't really play with longer PC's as I try my best to keep them at a minimum. I noticed that no one has addressed your question yet, so I will give you what knowledge I know. I hope that this helps. I was in one of the Hi-Fi shops here in Charlotte and I recall a certain...

Did you happen to mean when he sold Carver? Replacement ribbons are still being made today. See the above post to find out who bought all of the inventory/ribbon repair parts from Carver. The last I spoke with him he had enough ribbon on hand to repair between 7-800 ribbons, FYI.

Hello Horchem1972. The gentleman who handles all of the Carver ribbon repairs is Mr. Dave Sauter. Here is some pricing information as well as his contact information. He is the only authorized ribbon repair service available. Carver Ribbon Repair Pricing: Model: Ribbon Size/Price each/Price...

I can answer that one for you now, but I will still ask him. His passion is tubes. The Lightstar was excessive in cost and was something that he never got to complete, he just designed it. He sold and left the company before the Lightstars were complete. Everything was ordered, but they weren't...

Mr. Moderator, please forgive me for being blunt here. It's a scam of the highest order. Run away, don't walk! Run! Seen it too many times. What is the address of this particular I-Sold-it store?

Hello Dominick and thank you for your input. Are you referring to tube amps or SS amps?

Nice Questions. Thanks and keep 'em coming! Jwtrace, it's located near the NC/TN border about 7 miles W of Bryson city. The event will be Sept. 10th - Sept 15th. There will be gear there that very few people in the world have had a chance to get their ears on. PM me if you are interested in coming.

If you had a question for Mr. Bob Carver, what would it be? Serious questions will be answered by the man himself. Just thought that I would throw it out there for any Polk Forum members. FYI, he will be attending this year's Carverfest and will be hosting a Q&A session to answer any questions...

Focal 807v's and Tyler Acoustics Taylos 7U's currently running. More not being used and more on the way. Currently running with a mixture of tubed and SS gear and some custom amps will be hitting in short order.
