Hello j-jock and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! I am not familiar with the AV199, and we don't have any documentation for that amp. If you happen to have the owner's or service manual, we would sure like to add a copy to our archives. We love pics here of all kinds of stereo and home theater gear. Once you get to Novice status, consider uploading some pics of your system(s) in the Members Systems area.

Kevin Brown Quintet, Adventus was released on November 25, 2025. “This collection of music seeks to recreate that space for reflection and preparation through revisiting specific historical music that has been traditionally used during the period of Advent. Through some study of Medieval music and participation in more liturgical traditions, I have come to appreciate the beauty of this historical music. Yet, at the same time, contemporary ears can’t help but hear and explore new ways of bringing the music to life.” You can read the rest of the review here...

Yes, and that beats riding a Big Wheel.

That it is. Jazz Cat probably needs binoculars just to see the hood ornament.

My daily dose. The Rippingtons, Weekend In Monaco (album) How the heck does Jazz Cat expect that car to navigate those curves coming up? The only way I see it is he's going to have to stop and pull a Road Runner trick and paint a tunnel.

Brian Simpson & Steve Oliver, Unified (album)

Euge Groove, Groove On (album)

Fattburger was mentioned in that reddit discussion. I like them a lot too.

I ran across a thread on reddit about The Rippingtons where the OP asked for suggestions of bands that are as good as The Rippingtons. The most common suggestions were Spyro Gyra, Crusaders, Yellowjackets and the band, T-Square. T-Square is a Japanese jazz fusion band with a huge catalog, and this is the first album of theirs that I've listened to. I have to say, they are similar to The Rippingtons. Russ Freeman produced 4 of their songs on the album, Natural. Here's a link to their catalog: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1249160-T-Square Here's a link to the reddit discussion T-Square, Brasil

I know I'm a couple of days late, but I'd forgotten about this Russ Freeman album, Holiday. It's the closest thing we have to a Rippingtons Christmas album. Several songs are under 3 minutes, so I linked most of the album here. I hope I remember this in next Christmas.

Russ Freeman, Drive (album)

The Rippingtons have released 8 albums on vinyl, 9 if you count the Japanese album they released under the band name Cruise Control. That album title is Moon Riding, and it's identical to Moonlighting. The Rippingtons vinyl releases are: Moonlighting Kilimanjaro Tourist in Paradise Welcome to the St. James' Club Curves Ahead Weekend in Monaco Live in L.A. Sahara I've managed to find them all, but you have to be very patient, very lucky or both to find Curves Ahead. The others are much easier to find. Here's a link to my Discogs search for The Rippingtons vinyl: https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?currency=USD&condition=Near+Mint+(NM+or+M-)&ships_from=United+States&format=Vinyl&q=the+rippingtons+-(assholeparade) Here's my ebay search link: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=rippingtons&_sacat=176985&LH_PrefLoc=2&_sop=10&_svsrch=1 There's a copy of Cruise Control, Moon Riding for sale on ebay. I've only seen it listed a few times over the years. IIRC, I gave about $35 for mine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/397385761992

My daily dose. The Rippingtons, Kilimanjaro (album). I missed a couple of days, so it's not wonder I feel weak.

Steve Houghton Group, And Then Some was released on September 20, 2025. "On his latest project, Houghton’s thoughtfulness finds a natural counterpart in pianist Steve Allee, a longtime collaborator whose harmonic palette gives the album its emotional center. Together, they lead a group that moves with a quiet assurance, confident enough to underplay." You can read the rest of the review here...
