  1. Peter White, Catalonia was released on February 14, 2025 Genre-defying acoustic guitarist Peter White wrote and produced the ten songs of hope, determination, and optimism that make up his 17th album, “Light of Day,” as an antidote to the darkness of the pandemic during which the collection was conceived. Lobster Music Inc. will release White’s first new album in six years on February 14. The new disc is tied to two other milestones in the multi-time Billboard chart-topper’s unparalleled career: his 50th anniversary as a professional musician and the 35th anniversary of the release of his debut album, “Réveillez-vous.” You can read the rest of the review here...
  2. Adam Hawley, Unstoppable was released on March 22, 2024. "This album is the audio equivalent of a cup of coffee that not only starts your morning off right, but makes you feel like everything is going to be okay. Adam is great on the guitar, and I dig this album's choice to add elements of some Deep House Rhodes and R&B throughout the track list." https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/justinkayser/album/1077240-unstoppable/
  3. Gil Johnson, Can We Pretend was released on February 7, 2025. "“Can We Pretend”, the new single from vocalist Gil Johnson featuring legendary Smooth Jazz guitarist Doc Powell, was written by actress Denise Nicholas and recorded by her then husband Bill Withers. “I have been listening to and singing that song for the past 50 years”, says Gil. “I was riding in my car about 2 year ago when the song came on my playlist. My girlfriend said I should record the song and from there the process began. It is an honor to see it come to fruition.” You can read the rest of the review here...
  4. Jazz In Pink, Expansions was released on February 7, 2025. "The legendary funk/jazz/fusion pioneer, Lonnie Liston Smith recorded the classic jam, “Expansions”, which became an inspiration to generations of musicians to follow. Half a century later, Jazz In Pink leader/keyboardist Gail Johnson, picks up the torch and blazes a new trail with her inspired re-imagining of that classic." https://newworldnjazz.com/jazz-in-pink-expansions-shanachie/ This is released as a single.
  5. Welcome JRP! Glad you found us! Carver receivers are popular here. There are quite a few discussions regarding them. I hope you find what you're looking for.
  6. Dream Theater, Parasomnia was released on February 7, 2025. "To the quintet’s credit, the unsettling nature of parasomnia permeates the entire sequence. Aside from the title and/or lyrics of every track relating to sleep, nightmares and the like in one way or another, there are a few auditory tactics that make Parasomnia unfold like a connected vision. Specifically, opening instrumental overture “In the Arms of Morpheus” begins with eerie guitar lines, a ticking clock and the sound of someone going to bed. Correspondingly, epic closer “The Shadow Man Incident” ends by reprising some of those sounds as ominous voices whispers, “Wake up,” and “Dead Asleep” starts similarly to “In the Arms of Morpheus.” You can read the rest of the review here... It may just be me, but I hear some Tool and Five Finger Death Punch in this band. Progressive, melodic metal in my old ears. Bo doesn't care for it though. He left the room fairly quickly.
  7. Welcome aboard Rick. Glad you found us. The MXR-130 receiver is popular here, and there are quite a few threads about it.

  12. Paul Taylor, It's A Brand New Day was released on Jan 24, 2025. "Saxophonist Paul Taylor’s anticipated new recording and Shanachie debut, It’s A Brand New Day, is his thirteenth recording as a leader. The charming and down-to-earth saxman reveals, “This album in some ways signifies a new cycle for me, as this is my first new recording in three years. The title speaks to my desire to give my fans an optimistic outlook as we approach every brand new day.” The chart-topping saxophonist has enjoyed an enviable career with a string of Billboard#1 hits and collaborations with a genre-crossing list of musicians including Regina Belle, Maxi Priest, Peabo Bryson, Keiko Matsui, The Rippingtons, Peter White, Euge Groove, Michael Lington, Jamie Jones and Marion Meadows. Taylor confesses, “I simply love creating and making my own music. I am the happiest when I am doing just this. It never gets old.” You can read the rest of the review here...

  16. Hello n3rd and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! This is a great place to continue your audio education. There are several very talented techs, engineers, and hobbyists here, and I learn something almost every time I log in.
  17. Hello LSD and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us. I started my Carver journey with an M400t, and I've since owned 6 of them. Innovative design, but a bugger to work on (so I've been told).
  18. While not a movie, this Netflix series had me laughing all the way through. Being an Arnold fan helps... It's theme is similar to True Lies, but with an (admittedly) predictable twist.
  19. Weather Report, Mysterious Traveller (album)
  20. Bob Baldwin, Brazil Chill (album)
  21. Hi Bruce and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us. I have a 4000t in my main 2 channel system. It's awesome. I have a TX11a on a shelf, but I use a TX11b in that same system as the 4000t. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
  22. The Rippingtons, Soul Riders from the Fountain of Youth album. Several songs on that album feature the bass player, but this on stands out for me. Now I just need to follow Ponce De La Kool Kat and find that fountain of youth. Dammit, why is youth wasted on the young?
  23. Thievery Corporation, The Temple of I and I (album)
  24. Hi Rick, and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us. I can only second what the previous responders have said. Your budget and risk tolerance is your best guide. Demoing the unit is a big plus if that's possible, shipping, and restoration/upgrade costs all come into play.
  25. Hello Mr T and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us. The TFM series of amps are popular here. Hopefully someone can help you out with your questions.
