Well, after more than a year on the preorder waiting list, Communique arrived today. 2 45 RPM, 180g records, and it's very well done. Dire Straits, Making Movies, and Love Over Gold have also been released after a year plus long wait on the preorder list, and they're in the mail. Communique just go here first. I hope the other three are done as well as Communique. On the downside, these are numbered albums. I almost always order two, and open the higher number. The two that arrived today are 000332 and 000333. I opened 000333 because they're 45RPM anyway. If you're interested, they're still available from Music Direct.

Most people only know “Baker Street”, but this entire album is one of my favorites, and I can honestly say there’s not a song on it that I don’t enjoy.

Hi all, my name is Peter New to the forum and to Carver audio equipment. First time posting on an audio forum. I found a used and abused TFM-35 (made in Japan) this summer. Did a partial recap (PS), some diodes and resisters replaced, new VU filament bulbs, new Alps Blue pot and aluminum knob. Working like a champ since, it's like a warm graceful accurate and charismatic giant. Cost me €165 all in so far. A few weeks after the TFM-35 was reborn, my brother saw a C-11 preamp for sale. Carver gear is super rare in Ireland - how lucky is that!?! It was eventually acquired, works fine. Sounds pretty amazing to my ears. cost €80 I plan partial BillD modifications for this preamp: Caps, some resistors, transformer, rectifier, pot cleaning/some new ones, remote control for volume. I came here for the modification details, hope to be able to contribute in some way... seems like a nice community here Gears for my ears: - Monitor Audio RX6, Wharfedale Opal 90, Van Damme Blue Cable, Dedicated silent PC with Hi Res Media fed dig-optically to... Cambridge Audio Azur 740c CDP/DAC, Sony PS-T33 with mods, Nagaoka mp11 boron, Sony ST-333L, Arcam A85 integrated with phono mm/mc card, Carver C-11, Carver TFM-35... Other bits: Sony HMK-808, Revox A77 r2r, Luxman L30... getting a full overhaul. I put a few photos here, not sure if that works ok. The box of components on the floor contains some nice new capacitors for both units. mmmm..... capacitors ..... Happy weekend everyone ☺️

Just found this channel this week.. https://www.youtube.com/user/jpdylon/videos

nothing special but brings back very good memories one of my Sunday morning favorites.

Here's a pair from Robin Trower that are excellent front to back:

In the constant pursuit of audio knowledge I have stumbled across a few YouTube channels that are quite informative. Acoustic Fields and PSAudio for example. Do you have any favourites? https://www.youtube.com/user/AcousticFields https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mzA8J7n0ylf0RnDpj-vrg

In my playlist last night love the album play it regularly

Hey Peter, If you don't mind saying, where in Ireland? The reason I ask is the company I work for will be sending some folks to Ireland to install a system for Wuxi Biologics. I think the installation is in Dundalk, and we also have shops in Fermoy and Cork. I may be visiting your country when the install gets going. It will be a few months though as we're still building the system in our shop. I think the final testing stage is scheduled for March, and then we'll tear it down, and ship it to Ireland.

In the same vein as some of the other electronics repair ones, rather than purely audio , I know that X-ray Tony B has been a favorite of a number of us, here. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=x+ray+tony+b+&app=desktop&persist_app=1 A big thank you to all, here, for some really great ideas that I'm going to have to check out. 😁

The Rabbit Hole!
