  1. Hey there! I'm new here- Thanks for letting me join. I'm a Carver fan since back in the '80's when I couldn't afford to buy the stuff. Funny how that goes...now that I have the money to buy the things I wanted back then, I'm way too old for most of my friends to appreciate how cool (personal bias admitted) my setup is. So, I'm seeking the company of others who have an appreciation :). I've been able to collect a Carver C1 pre-amp, M1.5t amp, a TX-2 tuner, and even a TL-3100 CD Player... and use them along with a Technics SL-D1 turntable and Bose 601 Series 1 speakers. I haven't done any refurbishment on my own, but might like to try re-capping some day. Thanks again and look forward to connecting with you all. Kurt.

  2. Welcome Kurt. You probably already found out that M1.5t is more than enough for those 601's. Probably make them sing loud and clear.

  3. Pat Metheny, Road to the Sun was released on March 5, 2021. "Metheny speaks beautifully about jazz when he says, “it’s essential to hear people create their own music ... What we value about Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue and John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme is that they speak so vitally about their time.” In his new BMG Modern Recordings album, Road to the Sun, he skillfully brings his own distinctive musical vision to a new genre with two wonderful classical compositions for guitar, Four Paths of Light, written for Jason Vieaux, and Road to the Sun, written for the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet."

  6. Hello Kurt, and welcome to thecarversite.com. We're glad you're hear. There is a lot of information here, much technical know how, and a pretty good bunch of folks that are happy to help. A very nice set of gear you have there. I have a C-1 and with the BillD mod, it can hold it's own against preamps many times it's price. Once you get to Novice status, please consider uploading some pics of your gear in the Members Systems area. We all like pics of all kinds of audio gear. In the meantime, kick your shoes off, turn up the music, and welcome aboard.

  10. Steve Hackett, Under a Mediterranean Sky was released on January 22, 2021. ‘Under A Mediterranean Sky’ is the first new acoustic solo album from legendary guitarist Steve Hackett, since 2008’s ‘Tribute’ – a record that saw him tackling some of the beautiful classical pieces that his guitar idols had also put their hand to. This new album however takes inspiration from Steve’s extensive travels around the Mediterranean. “A lot of acoustic ideas had been forming over the years, and it felt like the perfect time to create this album,” notes Hackett, “a time to contemplate the places we’ve visited around the Mediterranean with the kind of music which evolved from the world of imagination.” You can read the rest of the review here...

  11. Welcome to the hoard Kurt. What part on N.C. are you from? I'm in Central N.C., specifically Orange County. Of all the Bose speakers, the 601 series have been on my mine and I find them the most interesting of their various models. Uh oh!!! Not I gotta find a pair... LOL As a young man, I was always motivated to work a little harder to have equipment as good as or better than my friends. You know, the one's I have all but completely lost touch with by now? Well anyway, being an island I find some solace at least in being able to listen to the music I love. But you're right, there aren't many folk around me either who give a damn about putting together and maintaining an audio system. 😥 The Carver C-1 and M1.5t is what I purchased new as a young man in the mid 80's before selling it off in the mid 90's (mistake). I've since bought just about everything I've ever owned back in multiples... WITH UPGRADES!! Don't let any fear of a soldering iron hinder you. Take it slow, knowledge is here. It's the experience that's a little tougher but you have to start somewhere. I think you will find ample help at this site. Never have I met such a fine group of enablers before.

  15. Alice Cooper, Detroit Stories was released on February 26, 2021. "So it’s no surprise that the best songs on Cooper’s 21st solo album, Detroit Stories, are the funniest. “Our Love Will Change the World” is a jaunty cover of an ironic ditty by the Michigan power-pop group Outrageous Cherry, and in Cooper’s hands, it sounds like The Partridge Family on angel dust, complete with finger snaps, as the ever-sarcastic singer describes his dream utopia as a dystopia. “You may not like [the world] now,” he sings with a smirk, “but you’ll get used to it.” “Go Man Go” is a sendup of toxic masculinity set to a Replacements-style “I Don’t Know” guitar riff (cowritten by the MC5’s Wayne Kramer), on which Cooper sings, “[My girlfriend] knows that I’m a man” and then immediately follows that line with, “She knows that I’m a moron, but that’s OK.” And his “Wonderful World” has nothing to do with Louis Armstrong’s trees of green and red roses, too, but rather, “It would be a wonderful world if everyone was like me.” You can read the rest of the review here...

  16. Skrillex - Fu@k That. Skip to about the 1:25 mark (ridiculous long intro). The bass on this track is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Also Deadmau5 - Ghosts and Stuff, Nero remix:
