@sea were Greg and Jenny were in Treehouse A? I would sign up for Treehouse A instead of Treehouse C, if so. It's just a tad easier to move gear in and out of Treehouse A.

Here's my go to list. A mish mash of songs I like, songs with great production quality, and songs that have various elements which cover my typical musical tastes. Dusty Springfield- Son of a preacher man Bob Dylan- Tangled Up in Blue Hall and Oates- She's gone Dire Straits- So far away Talking Heads- Naive Medley (This must be the place) Genesis- Abacab Rush- Tom Sawyer Steely Dan- Hey Nineteen Yello- Kiss in Blue New Order- Blue Monday Tool- Chocolate Chip Trip Breakout- Swing Out Sister Vail Johnson- Bass solo Miles Davis- So What (from Kind of Blue) Pharoah Sanders- Harvest Time I usually judge my speakers based on a few key elements: 1) how "in control" the bass is- ie not boomy. 2.) Whether or not there is the right amount of bass. 3) Presence, sound stage and clarity of the highs (if I can close my eyes and see the actual cymbal being struck and know where it is in the room). 4) Presence of details (can I hear the sound of fingers on guitar strings, or hear a breath before a horn is played). 5) Smoothness of the vocals and horns (ie. the upper mids aren't annoying at higher volumes)

Welcome! Nice looking gear!

Welcome to the Carver Site! Good luck with the mxr 130 fix. You'll get lots of help here. So cool to hear from folks who have owned a unit from new... 40 years. That's terrific.

Sometimes a 're'-recording or remastering can be really good. Like many of us...I grew up in the '80's with a lot of that synthesizer laden music (which I still love...guilty pleasure). One of my favorite bands was the The Fixx. This compilation recording was made in 2003. They re-recorded several of the hit songs they had in the '80's. It's a great quality recording. And, the music is redone with less synthesizer emphasis... it sounds a lot more mature and nuanced. I especially like the new versions of "Stand or Fall", and "Secret Separation".
