Hi Chris and welcome aboard. Glad you're here. Sorry to hear about your misfortune, and I'll second the Nelion Audion recommendation. Greg is one of, if not the best with Carver Audio products.

Boney James, Slow Burn was released on October 18, 2024. "Garlanded smooth sax maestro, BONEY JAMES has just released this new album – his 19th as leader. His coterie of dedicated fans will be delighted with the ten tracker as too will anyone who appreciates classy, melodic smooth jazz with a soulful undertow."

Hello Northerner, glad you found us. The TFM amps are popular here, and so are your speaker choices. I have a pair of Polk Series 2 Monitor 10 speakers, and I'm very happy with them. Welcome aboard!

Yeah! What he said. Welcome aboard Alf57. Glad you found us. What he said too. You should be able to post pics now that you've reached Novice status.

I saw her on Austin City Limits once. That woman can play. I watched all of that episode, and that doesn't happen often.

Welcome to thecarversite.com, AfroSamurai1. Glad you found us. MXR-130s are popular here, and there are several threads about them.

Joyce Cooling, Keeping Cool (album)

Marion Meadows, Just Doing Me was released on Oct 25, 2024. "Just Doing Me, Marion’s most intimate and heartfelt album to date, takes the listener on a sensuous journey through a soundscape of brilliant original compositions and masterful improvisations."

Rei Narita, Shoot for The Moon was released on Nov 10, 2024, "Rei Narita is often called Asia’s foremost pioneer of Smooth Jazz, but he merits specific comparisons that reflect his melodic excitement and rhythmic energy. The wildly prolific artist, who has released an astounding 20-plus singles over the past three years, may remind you of adventurous genre greats like David Benoit and Brian Culbertson. The sparkle, fire, groove and dynamic improvisations on his latest ambitious, well-titled single “Shoot for the Moon” expresses the artist's intention to create a new type of music that has evolved from Smooth Jazz... Pushing the musical envelope, or shooting for the moon in this case." https://www.smoothjazz.com/jazzblasts/jetstream/49822/rei-narita

Beth Hart, You Still Got Me was released on October 25, 2024. "With Beth’s latest album following on from the huge successes of The Zep Tribute album and the incredible War on my Mind there was a chance things could slip but You Still Got Me offers up some quirky, some sublime and a whole dollop of beautiful and like the great lady this could be her most vulnerable album to date."

Welcome aboard GratefulDragon, glad you found us. I'm not familiar with the inputs on the subs you mention, but I hooked up a single sub on the secondary outputs of both C-1 and 4000t preamps. Both work very well that way. I have dual subs on my home theater, but the processor has dual sub outputs. If your subs have speaker out connections you might try hooking up your speakers to the subs speaker out connections. Other than that stab in the dark, I have no idea. Sorry to hear about losing your R2R, and good luck with your search for it. Again, glad you found us!

I wish I could do that, maybe later. On my way to the gym for leg day. The goal for today is to squat 270 lbs for a set of 60 reps. Longer term is to do 270 (or more) for a set of 70. Some caveats, I can't do barbell squats because of arthritic shoulders, so this is on a machine. 270 lbs on the machine feels like 225 on a barbell. For my 51st brithday, I squatted 225 for a set of 51, and I'd like to do something comparable for my upcoming 70th. I've only got about a couple of months to go. 🤞🤞🤞

Lynn Cannon, Euphoria was released on April 12, 2024. "Following years of playing shows in local clubs and special events, Lynn started recording original contemporary Jazz music during the fall of 1998, which has evolved into his debut CD, Smooth Sailing, followed by Walk In The Park in ‘2001. Further gems of the past are his albums Working It (2002), Let’s Go (2021), Layin’ It Down! (2022) and Just Chillin’ (2023). His new album is Euphoria! (2024)." You can read the rest of the bio here... Another one that I can find very little about other than Mr. Cannon's short bio... Mr. Cannon is a great jazz pianist. I'm enjoying this album a great deal.

Jazmin Ghent, Dr. Jaz was released on August 15, 2024. Dr. Jazmin Ghent is an award-winning international jazz saxophonist and educator. Over her brief career, she has become a decorated leader for the new generation of jazz, R&B, and gospel. Jazmin’s start in the jazz industry was the Show Your Talent competition aboard the Smooth Jazz Cruise (2014). You can read the rest of the review here... Not much else I could find on the net as far as reviews go, but if you like sax driven smooth jazz in the same flavor as David Sanborn, you will most likely love this album, and all five of Dr. Ghent's albums.

I have the Kalashnikov KS 12T. I bought a package that included hard case, 4 10 round magazines, the handle and muzzle pictured below. I didn't come with the 5 round mag shown. DaddyJT sent me a 20 round drum mag, too. It looks fierce, but getting it to feed properly took a few hundred rounds before break in. Not cheap. I also got an aftermarket gas chamber plug that helped tremendously. The plug came from Iron Curtain Customs Hmmm, this has little to do with cover songs, if you want to continue this discussion, we should head over, and possibly move this to The Gun Rack.
