A bunch of albums over 2 days, evaluating an amplifier. It sounded fantastic! I wish that my speakers were a little more efficient, but a little more on the volume control and I still achieved the SPL and energizing the room as I like. And with plenty of safe operating headroom to spare. The amp operated effortlessly. This is the best sounding amp I have ever had in my possession. Timbre balance is superb, vocals are so real, strings and wind instruments just grace my ears, piano really sounds like a piano (and that's a tough one to do well). The music just floats in the air. WOW!!!
John Mayall & Friends
Carol King 'Tapestry' MoFi reissue
Jennifer Warnes 'Famous Blue Raincoat' Impex reissue
Joni Mitchell 'Blue' Rhino/Reprise reissue (Joni sounded like in my room)
Jeff Beck 'Truth'
Jeff Beck 'There and Back'
Eric Clapton 'Unplugged' Fantastic live-concert recording.
Patricia Barber 'Cafe' Blue' Impex 1-Step
Pink Floyd 'Division Bell' Pink Floyd Records, this is really great!
Stevie Ray Vaughan 'The Sky Is Crying' A/P 33 RPM. I almost cried listening to Little Wing.
Paul Simon 'There Goes Rhymin' Simon'
Paul Simon 'Graceland' 25th Anniversary reissue. Awesome SQ.
Jeff Beck 'Truth' sounds better on my solid state amp, I'm not sure why. Everything else was just awesome. This amp is really big so I will need to figure out something in order to make it work in my equipment rack. Those tubes put out a lot of heat... I'll probably figure it out, then place the order, and wait a month for delivery.
