Thom Rotella is certainly not new, but it's new to me, and I am enjoying this album a great deal. Some tracks remind me of The Rippingtons, and some tracks make me think Pink Floyd meets The Rippingtons, and some of it reminds me of Al Di Meola. The Thom Rotella Band, The Thom Rotella Band was released in 1987. This is very good with Sonic Holography engaged on the main 2 channel rig. https://www.discogs.com/artist/752202-Thom-Rotella

Several years ago, I used to read before bed every night. Then, with the advent of the IPad, I got into the habit of surfing the web, doing crossword puzzles, and checking the various news sites I frequent before bed. Lately, I’ve gone back to reading, and I’ve found I sleep MUCH better than when I “IPad” before bed. I am always reading two books at a time, a fiction book, and a non-fiction book. I typically read fiction before bed, and non-fiction in the morning and at lunch. This thread is for the Fiction books that we are all currently reading. See THIS thread for your current non-fiction reads. Hopefully I’m not the only reader here (and willing to discuss some great literature)!

All three in this series:

His song "The Immigrants" is really cool.

Thank you for this valuable resource to keep the early engineering of Bob Carver alive and well and in addition, find ways to improve upon greatness as technology advances. I remember being 7 or 8 and visiting my aunt and uncle in their newly built home (aunt was an architect) in Litchfield, CT and seeing and hearing the Carver gear my uncle had. I knew that I would one day have this kind of rugged and powerful audio gear in my collection. Fast forward 20 years and ebay on the scene and I purchased a C1, M1.0t, and later a C-4000. Still have them but need to repair/upgrade the C1 and C-4000 and would like to upgrade the M1.0t as well. I consider myself above average in soldering skill so am very interested in DIY. I look forward to being a part of the Carversite community.

Hello, my name is Paddy and im from Germany in Mannheim. on my adventure trough many Speakers and Amps i came across my first Carver device, a C9 holographic generator. After importing it from the US, converting it to 220V i had something i just read in Forums or heard someone talk about it. Interessting device. i tried recreating it first with digital DSP's (sigmastudio) based on the patent but after comparing my results to the original it was nowhere near close. carver stuff has something to it.. i dont know what. i like it. after restoring a M1.5T for Friend, i got myself a True Sub mk4 which im fixing right now When i looked for answers with this project, this Forum almost allways came up. great resource! thats why i joined today. About posting in the Member Systems section. Unfourtainly, my listening room isnt fancy or anything interessting to look at. i just use the space i have. so i hesitate to post pictures of it in the members systems forum. Im swapping stuff back and forth, i get new stuff, repair it, use it and sell it to get more stuff.

Thanks again for the pointers, would be nice to source a replacement before taking the top off this thing. Most of the control buttons on the player are not working as well. Everything works when using the remote though so I’m hoping the contacts are simply in need of a cleaning. Still I picked this piece up cheap and it included five of the 10 disc magazines as well. It sounds pretty good as well.

I just finished this one this morning. The good news - it’s an exceedingly easy read. The bad news - where to begin... First, I highly recommend you read this book - NOT because it’s content is of any value, but because it’s important to understand how you are viewed by the woke brigade, if you are Caucasian. If you deny your racism, it’s because you’re racist - if you admit your racism, well... It’s the old “Have you stopped beating your wife yet” verbal trap. An important “peek behind the curtain” of the radical movement sweeping the country - I’m glad I took the time to read it.

That sounds right up my alley - thanks for the reference!

Alan Furst Historical spy novels. Like potato chips you read one and you will be reading the rest. His research. Is very impressive. Kinda like a mix of Clancy at his best and John le Carre for depth.

I have 3 on the go in the Music Room atm; Rocket Ranch ties in alot of the "behind the scene" details other history books skip over when talking about launch and mission control centers. Titan II A History of a Cold War Missile Program The problems encountered and resolved with contractor management, concurrent design, construction and maintanance are an increadable insight into a _massive_ and increadably technical engineering project. Wow Ignition! The first 2 chapters are chalk full of humour, but after that, dig your heels in for some chemistry. This book gives insight to all the liquid fueled rocket programs; Murcury, Gemini, Atlas, Titan I/II etc and how brutally hard these fuels were to engineer engines for. Read Titan II for stories

I'm a Scifi fan. I used to buy paper books, but since getting a Kindle, all my purchases are in electronic media. They definately take up less room. Currently I'm reading a space opera, The Lost Fleet, by Jack Campbell. I'm on book #2 of the series, Fearless.

Top Dead Center by Kevin Cameron...

Close - I’ll be following it up with James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose...

Good for you for reading that one. She makes critical race theory palatable and understandable for the masses. For counterpoint, I would suggest Eric Lindsay. He is quite competent on the topic.

Doobie Brothers - Daughters Of The Sea off the What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits album.
