New to the site, but a long-time Carver user, M1.5t, TFM-6CB, TFM-15, CT-17. Need some help resurrecting a TFM-6CB.

Christian McBride & Ursa Major, Points of Light was released on October 30, 2026. "Christian McBride’s Points of Light, recorded with Ursa Major, is an ambitious but uneven exploration of collective freedom. Its strongest performances reveal how jazz can renew itself through rhythmic invention, attentive interplay and the productive friction of distinct musical personalities."

@JayBee Welcome to the Carver Site!! Downloading the service manual shown in our database will get you a schematic of the 6cb. Its shown on two individual pages. It doesn't look like any information is missing from each of the pages. If you wish a continuous scan of the schematic you can download the very same manual from either of these two sites. https://www.scribd.com/document/723336078/Carver-Tfm-6c-Sm This one should download automatically https://audiocircuit.dk/downloads/carver/Carver-TFM6C-pwr-sm.pdf Or if you prefer to look over the Carver list on their site use this link below. They contain just about the same information that is available here. https://audiocircuit.dk/carver/ And a host of other manufacturers information here, https://audiocircuit.dk/download/#google_vignette Good luck resurrecting the TFM-6CB. For Hsv, I get Huntsville International Airport in Alabama (HSV)? Thus Huntsville Alabama area.

Rahsaan Barber, Eternal was released on October 9, 2026. "Already an accomplished saxophonist and composer, Rahsaan Barber nonetheless reaches a magnificent degree of creative energy—fresh, thoughtful, and somehow both raw and refined—on Eternal, arriving via his own Jazz Music City Records on October 9. The album features the Nashville-born, Chapel Hill, North Carolina–based saxophonist with a new collaborator, New Orleans guitarist Ted Ludwig, alongside Barber’s longtime rhythm section of pianist Matt Endahl, bassist Kevin Beardsley, and drummer Joshua Hunt."

Vanisha Gould, What An Interesting Girl was released on October 9, 2026. "The album follows Gould’s 2024 release She’s Not Shiny, She’s Not Smooth. NPR included its single “Demure” among the Best Songs of 2024, with Nate Chinen praising Gould’s “swinging, Bob Dorough-esque deadpan” and calling the song “a clever indictment” of unsolicited advice directed at women. Chinen has also called Gould “a major talent who combines a blues cry with a storyteller’s point of view.” DownBeat praised her clarity, humor, knowledge and pathos, while JazzTimes cited her “plush contralto” and “keen emotional intelligence.” " You can read the rest of the review here...

Doug Webb, Watch Your Step was released on September 25, 2026. "Webb rolls in like the San Francisco fog on a big bold and bluesy “The Webb We Weave”, and long boards around Charnette’s wailing white caps on the sleek soul sista’ of “Five From Horace”. Lester Young smoke rings blow out of Webb’s sax bell on “Good Morning Heartache” while going bell canto a la Pavarotti on “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face” with Sikula’s Don Ameche pencil thin mustacheo’d of a tone is a tasty treat on “Lullaby For James” and is gorgeously desultory for “Good Morning Heartache”. And the only thing that could make this better is for another tenor man to join in, so Cory Weeds enters stage left and lets Charnette pull more plugs than a plumber on the super bopping “Watch Your Step”. This album is a protein rich diet in a high carb world of anemic posers. Dig in with a sharp knife." You can read the rest of the review here...

Joanne Shaw Taylor, The Trouble With Love was released on October 23, 2023. "Ten songs, not a wasted moment, and more than a few that I’ll be returning to for a very long time. This might just be Joanne Shaw Taylor’s finest collection of songs to date. It’s certainly one of her most satisfying, and an album that reminds us that great Blues music has never needed to be confined by the Blues." You can read the rest of the review here... Joe Bonamassa and Orianthi are both featured. Bonamassa on the title track, and Orianthi on What Good is My Love?

Emile Parisien, Floating was released on September 25, 2026. "French soprano saxophonist Emile Parisien is a leading light in French and European jazz. Equally at home in contemporary chamber jazz, free improvisation and more traditional settings, he has developed a distinctive musical language shaped by a wide range of collaborators and influences."

Ruben Caban, Tales From The Trunk was released on October 23, 2026. "Trombonist Ruben Caban’s new release “Tales From The Trunk”, is an ambitious new project inspired by the everyday musical experiences musicians live throughout their careers as they load their trunks with their tools and aspirations. It fuses an array of improvisational styles, from straight ahead standards such as Kenny Dorham’s "Lotus Blossom” and JJ Johnson’s infamous version of Jule Styne’s "Time After Time" to original large ensemble compositions in Funk, Fusion, Chacarera and Latin Jazz recorded by both small ensembles and a full Big Band."

Steve Johns, Extrasensory was released on October 16, 2026. "As a first-call sideman for many of New York’s finest, drummer Steve Johns has exemplified the complete musician behind the kit. His new recording, Extrasensory – his third as a leader and second for SteepleChase – finds Johns’ dual gifts as drummer and composer in full bloom." You can read the rest of the review here...

Kelly Green, Eat Your Greens was released on August 28, 2026. "Kelly Green boasts one of the most distinctive styles in modern jazz, combining unique approaches to both the piano and the voice to create a satisfying, pleasurable experience for the listener. Green approaches each song as if she has a story to tell, emphasizing lyricism as much as range, but with the melodic approach of a pianist." You can read the rest of the review here...

I agree, I prefer having all of those aspects of the music that is shared (so you dont have to search it out) and am also particularly interested when the sound recording quality is noted as well.

This has been the convention for the last several years. Personally, I like the artist, title (track or album), link to youtube format, but it's not required.
