NeverSatisfied is getting a fresh d500

[grapplesaw]

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 got this great shipping box from Ed years ago, thanks Ed, and it’s now going to another of our members.

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!

 

[grapplesaw]

It’s passed through Bliss Idaho

On it like an ICBM…

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Lightning just struck Texas. Glen’s monster creation finally arrived safe and sound.
Only had time to pull the top to make sure nothing got knocked loose and hook her up to the test system for a short run. Happy to report everything is good to go, no problems and she sounds wonderful. Much quieter than my stock D500. I will swap the Lightning out with the stocker next weekend for a little A;B testing fun.
Thanks Glen, she’s a beast.

 

[NeverSatisfied]

She lives but my back is pissed off….but hey it’s worth it.
Swapped the Lightning for the stock D500 and have been jamming since about 5pm. My ears were ringing pretty badly before I started, so started drinking with the first song and low and behold they cleared up after a couple albums. Not sure who coined the phrase “speaker lube” but I will add “ ring dampener “.
Just like the 400, the difference between the Lightning and the stocker is subtle in tone but obvious in noise floor and again with a cleaner leading edge. I am curious if the sound will improve with more time but I can say that if nothing changes I will be completely satisfied and as the boss will tell you, that rarely ever happens.
Thanks Glen, you built one hell of an amp.

 

[grapplesaw]

That is a sweet stack Spencer

 

[laatsch55]

The 3000 though......time to upgrade pres bud...
