  1. Clapton - Crossroads - Disc4 Carverfest 2014 Duke Ellington - at Newport Brubeck - Take 5 (Time Out) PF DSoTM Queen - Classic - Blue Cover Dire Straits - Dire Straits Quarterflash
  2. Trying new music seems to happen much more on portable equipment for me. The circle of music expands as I meet more people. CS has been very instrumental in trying new music as well. Threads like What are you listening to? always expand musical horizons. Equipment hunting and auditions are also a good source of music. Carverfest has brought a lot of new material, visiting the cabins is an ever-expanding source of music and genres. I am certain if CF had a RAP or Hip-Hop cabin, it would bring yet another genre to forefront.
  3. Floyd - DSoTM Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms Holst - Planets Eva Cassidy, Norah Jones, Duke Ellington - may be a bit difficult to find though.
  4. I hope you received a couple of Carver amps in the resulting trade. . Also, welcome to CS, Sk1Bum!
  5. Welcome to the never-ending party@CS, nettlecreek! Looking forward to pictures, and Zumbini has a cheat sheet on how to post photos.
  6. OTd had recommended Eva Cassidy and I use Norah Jones also as a reference for vocals. The CF CD from DaddyJT is the reference for most systems I have, including the HT setup. The Battlestar Galactica theme is pretty good. Telarc CD Sampler 4 has Olympic Fanfare (thanks to treitz3s' recommendation) which shows the entire orchestra in it's full glory.
  7. I am biased towards M500t, but also like the sound of TFM 42/45/55x.
  8. I have an AR LS5 MkII (no Phono stage, just line stage) Tube pre which uses 6922/6DJ8/7DJ8. I like the Pre. Another one to consider is a Threshold FET10 HL or a FET9e. Threshold is a Nelson Pass design.
  9. Welcome to CS, 19Joey81 ! A BillD C1/C11 is a wonderful cornerstone of a 2Channel system. You can also add a X10d clone and get some of the benefits of a Tube stage, if you choose to use C1/C11/C6/C16 (or any other) Carver pre.
  10. You may want to consider a remote from the Logitech family, but be aware of the quirks which can beset these.
  11. Another very nice Sony receiver - Sony STR-7055 on thevintageknob.org .
  12. Is there also an Escient Fireball married to the 777ES?
  13. Welcome to CS, RxOnMyMind! your video is much appreciated. Very nice gear. Can you post a picture of the STR-7045 so I can drool over it?
  14. Welcome to CS, KawiPhil! Enjoy your new 'flip-flops'. The M500 is very nice amp. Get in the MkII queue, and a BillD for the C1, and tunes will flow. The Onkyos are no slouches either.
  15. Happy B'Day and congrats on the new acquisition.
  16. Welcome, Almiga! to CS. M500t (updated to M500t MkII) + C1 (updated to BillD C1/C11) are my favorite pair.
