NeverSatisfied is getting a fresh d500

[Gepetto]

Joe, is there an upgrade path to keep the 3500? I really want to keep the all PL aesthetic.

Has any work been done on it yet Spence?

It is completely stock, I also have stock 3300 and 4000 but I like the 3500 the most.

Spence,

You have a 4000? If so, you have something in common with The Shat --



I'm old enough to have watched Star Trek from the beginning. (Only in 2nd grade when it started, but that was destination TV for yours truly. :0)

Same guy that recently flew into space for the briefest of visits. Small world, ain't it?

3D

 

[NeverSatisfied]

3D, that’s cool, I have been Trecky forever but all my PL stuff is series 2.

Got it! Found a place where you could see them side by side. The 4000 S2 is a very attractive piece!

Myself, I have my original 2000 (Series I) preamp, which I will restore/make as quiet as possible. Along the way, I also picked up a clean, affordable, used 3000 preamp, and no doubt this will be the first one I will practice my preamp hotrodding chops on. (My plan is for the 3000 S2 & 400S2 to use in the shop -- whereas the 2000 & twin D500s will be in my main system.

(But I'll be spending most of my time in the shop between now & the forseeable future? Huh? :0)

The Carver C4000 or 4000t is the best thing going for overal looks and sound quality to mate up with Series two phase linears

And the 4000T has a better power supply which is VERY upgradable

The c4000 is very comparable with power supply upgrades I’ve done Perry

 

[grapplesaw]

So here it is all pretty

With the rear preamp and layout of the power supply, it makes for more work. Yes, I know, Done a shit load of them too

I bought a 700 series 1 from Ed years ago that his neighbor Dean had worked on and it was in a pack just like that, albeit a bit smaller in stature. Ed does a great job with that, he knows what he's doing!
