My name is Steve. I go by Bodegahwy on various boards, especially the UMGF where I have been a member for 20+ years. I like my old gear even if the kids are not sure about it. I currently use a CT3 into a TFM15CB through KEF 104/2. All refurbished. A lot of Ry Cooder, Jerry Garcia, bluegrass. Some jazz and rock&roll. We live in Grand Junction, CO and are retired.

Josh Lawrence, Philly Twisted was released on September 18, 2026. "Philly Twisted, his eighth release for Posi-Tone Records, is a lively, affectionate and thoroughly swinging salute to the city that adopted the trumpeter and helped shape him into the musician he is today." You can read the rest of the review here...

Denise Donatelli, Take My Breath away was released on August 14, 2026. "Long admired for her warm, expressive tone and interpretive depth, Donatelli sounds completely at home here, shaping each lyric with the kind of emotional precision that doesn’t call attention to itself, yet lingers long after the final note." You can read the rest of the review here...

Jocelyn Gould, So Delighted was released on October 9, 2026. "The album brings together five original compositions and five standards, with contributions from saxophonist Christine Jensen, trumpeter Jonathan Challoner and guitarist Joey Landreth. Gould makes no secret of her influences, among them Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell and, above all, Jimmy Smith." You can read the rest of the review here...

Ekep Nkwelle, Caged Bird was released on September 25, 2026. "Nkwelle built up an imposing résumé before any major recording release, but has finally recorded her debut album. Titled Caged Bird, on the record Nkwelle mostly explores the African-American musical heritage—gospel, jazz, R&B, blues—but with a fresh, youthful perspective. She frequently shows off her impressive, dynamic vocal range but without overwhelming the material or her accompaniment. For such a young vocalist (27 at the time of the album's release), Caged Bird is remarkably self-assured, blooming with the promise of a long career to come and bursting with present-day immediacy."

My daily dose. The Rippingtons, Moonlighting (album)

Boney James used to play the bigger bars and restaurants in the LA area in the '90's. The local smooth jazz station would always broadcast live from those places so I got to listen to alot of his music back then. He has come a long way with his sound.

Boney James, A Simple Man was released on October 2, 2026. "Thirty-five years and twenty albums into his career, saxophonist Boney James is still thinking about melody, sound and how to get better at his instrument. On A Simple Man (Concord Jazz, 2026), he draws on the R&B and soul music that shaped him while continuing to explore the jazz vocabulary that has long been part of his musical life."

Hello Carver Community, I am based in Douglasville, GA (Metro Atlanta area) and joined the site to connect with fellow Carver audio enthusiasts. I am actively searching to acquire a clean pair of 60-inch Carver Amazing Platinum speakers in factory High-Gloss Piano Black finish. Looking forward to learning from the community and hopefully connecting with a local member in the Southeast who might have a pair!

Welcome to TCS, @dklman. Carver AMazing Platinums come up from time to time..., in the south east. It may be morbid..., but the retired community in Florida and South Carolina has a lot of Carver Gear..., and that area is a hotbed of some estate sales. Be sure to monitor FB Marketplace in the major metro areas in FL and SC - assuming that is close enough for you to drive to pick them up. ...and, you WILL want to pick them up - they are not easily shipped - without damage to the ribbons. FWIW, getting ahead of your curve..., you'll want to invest in a couple of twin-size air mattresses at Walmart - and when you find a pair, you'll take your truck or van (or rent one) to pick them up laying down one air mattress down, putting one speaker on top of that, then another air mattress, and tie them securely so they don't bounce too much. Inflate the air mattresses to allow for a good cushion - but not over-inflated - you want the speakers to "sink in" a bit - but not so much that they make contact with the van floor, or second speaker on top... Good luck on your search!

Can't stop listening to this record.

Today at the gym while doing my cardio, I watched the Austin City Limits Celebrates Antone's & The Blues. ACL salutes the 50th Anniversary of iconic Austin blues club Antone’s and the series' own history of showcasing blues in a supercharged hour featuring an all-star line-up with Jimmie Vaughan, Kingfish, Bobby Rush, Sue Foley and Big Bill Morganfield. https://www.pbs.org/video/austin-city-limits-celebrates-antones-the-blues-azh17l/ I have my DVR record every episode of ACL, and the vast majority of them get 5 minutes and deleted. Occasionally, they have a gem. The ones that I've watched the last couple of days have been gems.

Saw an old DeSoto pop up for sale recently in local paper..... Not really looking for an old car, but the ad caught my eye because the car actually had a record player in it. So, I had to google that...... Turns out Chysler actually offered an under dash record player system from about 1956-1961 on some cars. You could actually stack a bunch of 45's (like the multi-cd players that came decades later) and flip through them. I had no idea. Found this Youtube video on it and thought you all might get a chuckle.
