They sound good from the start, but improve as time goes on! The changes are subtle. My guess is they are still breaking in! I am very pleased with mine! BarryG

Welcome back Clyde! What speakers are your Carvers driving? We do love photos! It's hard to stay away from this group of friends! Have a great weekend! Turn up the volume! BarryG

I have seen Dickey Betts several times once with Allman Brothers, and with Great Southern! One time my brother took me to a Marshall Tucker Band concert, he did not know the opening act was Dickey Betts in a new band after Great Southern. Betts was a better act than the headliner ! I pointed out to my brother that the guy playing the red guitar looked like Dickey Betts, found out later he was the opening act! That was at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md. Lol, my brother never heard of Dickey Betts, but recognized some of the material from the Allman brothers catalog! Have not had an 8 track since my quadraphonic stereo days in the 70s! BarryG

It is good to see you back, Enjoy the music and the ones you love. After a life changing trauma, I find my outlook on life is a lot different and cherish the good times with my family and friends! I appreciate the soothing and healing quality that music has as well Enjoy the music! BarryG

Your avatar implies that you are biased. LOL, It's a great track! It's ok to be biased when Zappa is concerned! I miss seeing him live! BarryG

The canons blow my mind! excellent choice! BarryG

I have Brothers in Arms in Vinyl, and I think its outstanding! I will be looking for an original cd when I go to the local shows! BarryG

I know this is off topic, how is Tom doing? I have not had any update recently! BarryG

I replaced the 150uF electrolytic with a solen with good results, I think I got the idea from BillD. I hope it works good for you! BarryG

Don't forget Bob's Miss Hologram! Lol BarryG

My first rack was Aunt Esther's cedar chest! BarryG

I like the copper as well! If you need an antenna, the cactus pipe antenna would work well! BarryG

Mine is a work in progress, it's a Salamander Archetype! BarryG

Two m-500t mkll bi-amped into my Magnepan IIIa speakers. Sounds very good, they also sound great on the ribbons on my upgraded ALS biamped with m1.0t MKII opt 2 for the lower end! Looking forward to how the m-500t MKII sounds with the carver fest speakers! BarryG

It is good to see you back! BarryG

Welcome, you have found us! Good to see another OCCD afflicted member. You should feel at home here! BarryG

Lenny Kravitz, Mr. Cab Driver lol not that this is something bad, but it was sure torture to my cousins parrot. Pepe loved music but squawked non stop during this song. Actually the torture was listening to the bird! Just a funny moment from the past. I was laughing so hard reading this thread! BarryG

Welcome Billy! This is a great place to be! Enjoy your stay, kick off your shoes turn up he volume and rock to the music! BarryG

Congratulations Bill, looking forward to meeting you! BarryG

LMAO at the party barn! BarryG

Welcome to the site UncleMeat. Ahhh another Zappa fan! Your handle reminds me of my first Zappa album from when I was in 10th grade! A lot of good people here, kick off your shoes, get a cold beer, turn up the volume and stay a while! We all have OCCD around here! BarryG

The 30th works for me! That is a day I have history with. It will be the 9th anniversary of my trauma event that nearly took my life. I was in a bad accident that day, In wrong place at wrong time and was runneth over by a forklift. That radically changed my plans for New Years Eve and radically changed my life as well. I don't dwell on this, but let me say IT IS GOOD TO BE ALIVE!!! I am glad I live in Baltimore and we have such an incredible trauma team. I was in the hospital for 6 months to give you an idea how serious it was. That is all I will say about it, So I am all in with a toast to BillD on this day! I often think of him when listening to the Pretender by Jackson Browne! BTW I am enjoying the reference discs. I never heard of Patricia Barber before, wow, that was awesome. I have listened to both discs several times. BarryG

Mine came today have first disc in, sounds real good, cant wait to get to disc two! Both discs are what they should be and play fine! BarryG

When I burn from flac, or copying cd's I exclusively use Taiyo Yuden discs. the one that has the watershield coating. they last a long time. I also have very few bad burns from them, and they play in my Carver SD/A 390t as well. Taiyo Yuden has acquired JVC and changed the cds name to JVC watershield. They are glossy white ink jet ready discs and look nice with a well designed label. the only problem with these discs are they are thicker from the extra coating, so some front load automotive players have difficulty loading them. They are more expensive, but worth it in my opinion. BarryG

Still waiting on mine as well. I intercepted my letter carrier but NO deliveries! Probably tomorrow! BarryG
