  2. Hi, and welcome to the best site on the net for Carver enthusiasts! I'm sure you'll enjoy the TFM35. Its a great sounding amp. I grew up enjoying summers at Wrightsville Beach. (If you need a great haircut my sister has a salon in Wilmington.)

    TFM-35

    Price $399 plus actual shipping (and paypal fees, if any) This amplifier has been recently serviced and checked (voltages verified, volume controls and switches cleaned) and is in excellent working condition. We have an original Carver shipping box, too. All functions operate as they should and it sounds great, being tested through both a pair of Altec Lansing model 19 speakers as well as a pair of Magnepan model MG2.5R speakers. It sounds beautiful driving either! Both meters, lights and volume controls operate as they should and without any noise or static in the volume controls. (Sounds great with a Ten Octave Audio LP1 tube preamp.) (Buyer should be aware that this is, in fact, a vintage amplifier and although it has been checked and serviced it could in the future require power supply capacitors or other components to be replaced. It is a vintage piece of equipment and as such does not come with any guaranties aside from the fact that it is currently working well with no issues and will arrive to you in that condition. Beyond that it is the buyers responsibility to maintain and/or service the amplifier.) Any questions please PM to iamjohngalt

  6. Kevin, Bill and I are interested in a couple bunks for probably a long weekend in the middle of the CFest this year. David

  9. For those of you who have asked about the possibility of a demo or "traveling" LP-1R preamp with remote...we now have one available for anyone who wants to try one out! I need to start a list of those who are interested in auditioning one of them in their own home environment. You will need to pay only shipping to you from either us or the last person who tries it and you will be allowed to try out the unit with your own equipment for a week (unless prior arrangements are made) at which point it will need to be repacked in it's shipping box and sent to the next person on the list... or if there is none, back to us. If you are interested please add you name in this post so that we can get an idea of how many might be interested. The unit will be our standard LP-1R with IR remote included. The remote itself is a simple one....on-off and volume. The remote will work at extreme angles...almost a full 90 degrees to either side or up down to the unit. Please reply to the thread below if you are interested and we will begin to make a list.
  10. The Day the Music Burned https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-master-recordings.html Among the incinerated Decca masters were recordings by titanic figures in American music: Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland. The tape masters for Billie Holiday’s Decca catalog were most likely lost in total. The Decca masters also included recordings by such greats as Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five and Patsy Cline. The fire most likely claimed most of Chuck Berry’s Chess masters and multitrack masters, a body of work that constitutes Berry’s greatest recordings. The destroyed Chess masters encompassed nearly everything else recorded for the label and its subsidiaries, including most of the Chess output of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley, Etta James, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy and Little Walter. Also very likely lost were master tapes of the first commercially released material by Aretha Franklin, recorded when she was a young teenager performing in the church services of her father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin, who made dozens of albums for Chess and its sublabels. Virtually all of Buddy Holly’s masters were lost in the fire. Most of John Coltrane’s Impulse masters were lost, as were masters for treasured Impulse releases by Ellington, Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders and other jazz greats. Also apparently destroyed were the masters for dozens of canonical hit singles, including Bill Haley and His Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock,” Jackie Brenston and His Delta Cats’ “Rocket 88,” Bo Diddley’s “Bo Diddley/I’m A Man,” Etta James’s “At Last,” the Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie” and the Impressions’ “People Get Ready.” The list of destroyed single and album masters takes in titles by dozens of legendary artists, a genre-spanning who’s who of 20th- and 21st-century popular music. It includes recordings by Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, the Andrews Sisters, the Ink Spots, the Mills Brothers, Lionel Hampton, Ray Charles, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Clara Ward, Sammy Davis Jr., Les Paul, Fats Domino, Big Mama Thornton, Burl Ives, the Weavers, Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, Lefty Frizzell, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Bobby (Blue) Bland, B.B. King, Ike Turner, the Four Tops, Quincy Jones, Burt Bacharach, Joan Baez, Neil Diamond, Sonny and Cher, the Mamas and the Papas, Joni Mitchell, Captain Beefheart, Cat Stevens, the Carpenters, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Al Green, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Elton John, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, the Eagles, Don Henley, Aerosmith, Steely Dan, Iggy Pop, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Barry White, Patti LaBelle, Yoko Ono, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Police, Sting, George Strait, Steve Earle, R.E.M., Janet Jackson, Eric B. and Rakim, New Edition, Bobby Brown, Guns N’ Roses, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, Sonic Youth, No Doubt, Nine Inch Nails, Snoop Dogg, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Hole, Beck, Sheryl Crow, Tupac Shakur, Eminem, 50 Cent and the Roots. Then there are masters for largely forgotten artists that were stored in the vault: tens of thousands of gospel, blues, jazz, country, soul, disco, pop, easy listening, classical, comedy and spoken-word records that may now exist only as written entries in discographies.
  11. Due to unforseen circumstances the kit build for CarverFest 2019 will not take place. For details on the loaner demo LP-1 with remote please see this post Since there is not a kit build being planned for CarverFest 2019, fxbill and I have been discussing offering a kit of our Ten Octave Audio LP-1 tube preamplifier at the CarverFest in September if there is enough interest. We can put together a kit of the standard LP-1 that should be built with basic soldering and mechanical skills in less than 2 days. We would provide the silk-screened steel chassis, silk-screened anodized aluminum faceplate, pcb, top grade tubes, hardware(screws/nuts/washers), electronic components, switches, controls, solder, all other parts needed, a shipping box, and instructions. We would also be on site for 3 days to provide build assistance. The price of the basic LP-1 kit (available for CarverFest only) would be $699.99. (Retail is $999.99.) We are not selling kits except for Carverfest. We may be able to also offer an LP-1R kit which would include a remote control (power and volume control.) We have a working prototype of the LP-1 with remote but we can't guarantee the availability of the remote kit for CarverFest yet. If we can make it available the price for the LP-1 remote kit will be $799.99. (Retail will be $1,199.99.) We would need 50% of price prepaid by July 10 and balance due by August 15, in order to get all parts ordered, assembled into kits, and delivered on time to CarverFest. If you are serious about wanting to build your own Ten Octave Audio LP-1 Tube Preamplifier at CarverFest 2019 please respond at: as soon as possible. Hope to see you at CarverFest 2019
  12. I hope to join the cool kids in WS5, but I have to go to NY, NY for a week in September (family visit with favorite Aunt and mates from Oz.) Not sure of the timing yet, but I'll try to be there if possible.
  13. Ok, it's not just a song, but it's very interesting ;^)
