  1. Adwcleaner is one I use in our school district too. I haven't seen that mentioned but you might give it a try. Also run TDDSkiller and let it scan for a root virus. Was this using Chrome or IE? Uninstall Chrome and delete entries from the registry if you're comfortable with that.

  2. And when movies/music is put on a "server", it was their/our understanding that legally one was supposed to retain the original hard copy original of it somewhere. Whether or not everyone does that is up to their own conscious. You definitely can't sell the copies though. Funny that you see burned CD's at thrift stores, etc, for sale.

  3. I have all of mine on my media server along with the originals being in a cabinet. When I was the rep for MediaMaxx (based out of Phoenix I believe), they were using up to 14TB RAID 1 systems and were big on letting end users know that they MUST keep their original software to legally use th media on their servers. The laws are very big towards the movie studios and record labels for the hardware side.

  4. I also have a fully rebuilt M200t that I may add in for the top end and biamp them. Always wanted to do that to the CF-3's and eventually the KLF-30's when I get them here. I know there are better amps than the Carvers but they are paid for and it's my homage to Bob I guess. Lol. I've also got a signed DTL-200 CD player I use occasionally for nostalgic purposes (that Bob worked on too) but I use my media server and vinyl more than anything. CD's get ripped and put away for the most part.

  5. I was a Sunfire rep for about 8 years (till 7/09) and was able to use a lot of the equipment that we offered. My biggest mistake was not buying one of the Symphonic Reference preamps for $150 when they were closing them out. :-/ My 1.0t sounds amazing as well as having the extra volume, too. Bob signed mine during one of our "A Night With Bob Carver" get togethers we held at our Dallas office and he went on for abiut an hour about the 1.0t and how much more potential it had but the "bean counters" told him to tune it back. So it's definitely an amp I'll keep since my name is on the front of it along with his. Ha. Bob is a great guy for sure. Maybe not loved by all with his ideas and implementations but he is an innovator in his field without a doubt.

  6. I've got a Stromberg Carlson ASR-120 hooked to my CF-3's right now and it's driving the crap out of them. I'm maybe 10 feet away but they do get damn loud. Sure, my Carver M-1.0t MkII at 400+ watts a side does play louder but the tubes sure do sound nice on them.

  7. I've been using Jriver for about 6 months now and love it. I used a repurposed desktop that I updated from dual to quad core AMD, upped it to 8gb of memory, upgraded video card with hdmi, and have two 2tb drives with RAID 1 for all music and video files that's currently 1100 CDs ripped as lossless FLAC files and also 80 DVDs using MakeMKV. Works like a champ. I re-ripped all of my CDs in and what was already there for itunes files in a 320 or less format, just moved them from my laptop to the desktop over wireless. Wasn't too bad. Also using the coax digital out from the motherboard to a Fiio DAC to my Carver C-1 preamp.

  8. I love my CF-3's and also have a pair of KLF-30's that will finally be here in a week or so. So, no comparison for each of them yet but soon will be. I gave less than the one listing posted for my 3's and about a third of what those 30's are listed at. They aren't perfect, but will be close to it once I'm done with them.
