  1. I hear you on the toxic social media, I have left many forums because of that very reason, and not just audio forums. And I can't stand those people that "look at the numbers" and don't even have to listen to it. Human ears are the best final instruments to evaluate how something sounds. And I get really tired of this "one size fits all" for something so subjective to individual tastes. Carver should be original designs that sound extraordinary period. There are a plethora of cheap Chinese companies that do " measures great" but sound less than stellar geared for the home theater crowd. I don't own any Carver gear at this time but the stuff I had I was thoroughly impressed with. The AL III plus is ultimately why I gave up the Polk SDA's. And my first real introduction into higher end audio gear. I am glad I am content for the time being with my audio world. Take care.
  2. I definitely rely on the reviews more than sales pitch, private and professional. This was the case with the last few items I purchased. Especially the Audio Physic Avanti III, it it wasn't for the glowing Stereophile review I might not have tried them.
  3. I just discovered this, the whole album is really good, I never knew Jason could sing. I forgot about these guys, great album
  4. Somebody already mentioned AIC unplugged, here are three more of my reference CD's.
  5. Thanks, I have not done anything new for a while. It is a lot of time consuming work.
  6. I have been on this since 2010 but took a break from audio after moving and the only real place that worked in my new house was an unfinished basement. I tried like hell to make a cubed room work but finally gave up. So I took a break and got back into other hobbies. After doing some work in my basement, it sounds pretty good, and starting to get back into it and bought some new stereo gear. I don't think I will ever get back into it to the degree I once was, after finally finding speakers and gear I am content with but still fun to listen and "tinker" with.
  7. Indeed, this is still one of my fav.
