A Carver TFM-35 I bought NOS sealed in the original box from eBay in 2009. I still have it.
When hooked up to the Don Sachs preamp gives very little away to his Kootenay. I was surprised that it had very similar upper end resolution. It lost out in lower midrange resolution and bass.
Both things that could be resolved with some careful modification.
Also my Technics 1200G. First upper end component I ever bought. Total end game piece that I will probably never give up.
