Finishing up with my thoughts on on "Groovin’".... Side, four. The bass that I wished for previously, is now present. It makes for a more complete listening experience. Throughout this entire lp, I never turned the volume over 12:00, which is high these days But not out of line for a MFSL lp. Side 4 is the superior sounding side. Next time I’ll do a deep steam before listening It’s a keeper. I need to say that for a $60 lp, there should not be any quality issue at all!!! |
@mammothguy54 thanks! I bought some Mullard 12ax7’s on his recommendation and put the Telefunken’s in my guitar rigs (just kidding, they are in storage). I’ll give him a call on Monday. It’ll probably cost me some interconnects as I’ve been wanting to ask him about that as well.
carry on |
@sourpuss123 I realize everyone’s setup is unique and different, but I’ll mention that I’ve gone on the Funk’n’Groovin (Telefunken), Mullard, RCA “black plate” and so on 12AX7 adventure. What I found that outdid the others far and away is the Brimar “box plate” with double mica support CV4035 from the late 60s/early 70s. Made in England for the British Military and readily available for a fraction ($70 not long ago) of the aforementioned manufacturers. Very open and spacious soundstage. Works great for classical, jazz, rock, noise, you name it. Enjoy, daniel |
