According to jfh@rpp386.cactus.org (John F. Haugh II):

>German made car radio that will last forever ;-)

That may not be the case.  A few years ago when I was shopping for a car
stereo, I checked out a buyer's guide and found two or three Carver
products listed.  As anyone vaguely familiar with stereo equipment will
tell you, Carver is very American and makes some of the most innovative
products around.  The problem is finding Carver products locally.  In
Dallas, I know of only one shop that is >purported< to carry them.  The
case may be the same here in Austin.  I know Marcum Electronics carries
Carver home equipment, but not their car audio products.
