Not a bad little set-up. The bass this thing produces is pretty astounding with the speaks hanging in the corners of the garage, but fortunately, the CT-17 has tone controls so I can turn the bass down. This is a finished three car garage and I enjoy spinning vinyl and I do actually sit out there in the "sweet spot" with a cool beverage and listen to music. One nice feature is less than stellar recordings are more tolerable on this rig than my main rig.

occasional use...
Carver CT-17
This was the preamp I used for years in my main rig. Couldn't see selling it as it's a pretty good unit capable of five channel surround (who cares) and has "sonic holography"
Actually the phono section of the CT-17 is quite capable. Not every phono section mates perfectly with every cartridge. May be the NAD and the AT cartridge make for a better match?
