  1. Sony mini-discs with their integral, floppy disc-like cases are NOT compatible with standard CD players. I believe you are thinking of the mini-CD:
  2. Gary Hoey's 2008 compilation Fade To Blues. Thanks to Mr. Miller for the upload:
  3. Another excellent offering from Gary Hoey:
  4. My 20 year old son (Zack) has been playing in MIT's jazz combo for the last few years. At his request I've been ripping fusion and classic jazz albums to his Dropbox account. That process has me listening to a lot of titles I haven't heard recently. Zack and his roommate are currently arranging Moanin', a song Bobby Timmons wrote. So today was Miles Davis Day in Zumbiniland:
  5. Web links should always be the first choice, however, that's not always possible so I posted both methods.
  6. From the Post a reply box left click the Insert Image icon (top toolbar, 4th icon from the right). From there you can insert a public image link or browse to a file on your hard drive. Once the file has uploaded click OK, then click INSERT.
  7. Howdy Morgan and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new (to you) gear. The C-1 is a favorite here, and the M-400t "cube" is a great little piece of history. What series are the 901's and did you get the EQ? Don't forget to tell us a bit about yourself, your taste in music, and other interests. And please post some photos of your toys so we don't have to beg you for them.
  8. Howdy IrishCrush and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you on board. Hope you stick around. Tell us about yourself, your taste in music, and your audio toys, and post photos so we don't have to beg for them.
  9. He was an American icon and will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace.
  10. In the 80's and 90's Marshall made a line of hybrid "Valvestate" amps with valve preamps and SS amps. They were very capable of emulating the tube sound but they didn't sell very well. Stand in front of a cranked Fender Twin or Marshall half stack and tell me they don't play loud enough. Seriously though, most guitarists/bassists in bands who play large venues employ huge stacks of chained amps. (Or they mike one or a few amps and feed that through the sound system.)
  11. This article is biased for tube sound but it has a great explanation of "good" versus "bad" distortion.
  12. You can easily add Sonic Holography to any system with the relatively inexpensive, stand-alone C-9. Member 4krow sells refreshed and modded units. Lots of threads about them in the proc mods forum. You can also add the warmth of tubes by installing a tube buffer, between source and preamp, or in a tape loop. For more info on tube buffers read Mobile Fidelity X-10D clone (Top Secret, Shhhh!)
  13. Excellent! Set the controls for the heart of the sun....
  14. I have an old Denon DCM-35 CDC that was also noisy. A little grease on the gears helped quite a bit.
  15. Howdy bluefan, and welcome to the forum. Glad you hopped on board the Carver train. Congrats on your new (to you) Carver gear, and thanks for posting a photo so we didn't have to beg.
  16. Nice score Kevin. Hope your plan to move some gear works out.
