| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? rauliruegas I'm quite sure I have that recording. I have several Sheffields. It would be a good one to check certain things. Thanks for reminding me of it. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? dogberry I'll have to watch for Opus 3's. I'm not sure I have any but I might. I have a fairly extensive collection and I often find things that I don't recall even buying. Getting old has it's advantages as well as disadvantages. :) | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? vetsc5 I'm pretty sure I have the Saint Saens in my organ collection. I probably have 100 or so pipe organ LP's. The Crystal Clear Virgil Fox recordings also reach 16hz. My speakers do 18 but I'm good with that. Pipe organ sounds pretty dang real... | |

| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 Thanks guys. You are an absolute wealth of information. I look forward to having the SLP in my system and more discussion to follow. Many thanks. | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 Yes, V12. He said it was a heavy monster. Will post when I get the SLP, should be next week. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? bdgregory Supertramp recordings are very good. I have several of them. Last night, I rolled in some old tubes that I'd never tried before, some Webcor 12AU7A's. They were OK, not great. I listened to Pat Benatar Tropico on Chrysalis. It is a dam... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? dmuso I have many of what you list. I also have some very old RCA recordings that are pretty good. Van Cliburn and V Horowitz piano stuff. They can be surprisingly good right back into the 50's. I have a couple that are still sealed too. Kind of ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Inna I'll have to check Oregon out. Not familiar to me. Wondering why you choose some that you say were not good recordings but use them as references. Seems an odd choice. As to brass, I have no jazz music in my collection. I have a lot of or... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 decooney Thanks. What you're saying is pretty much what I gather from all the study that I've put into this preamp. At least this one comes with the upgrades and is further upgraded than some with the Lundahl step up. I could be mistaken on the J... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Starwarrior Are those vinyl? Totally understand the fingers and frets. Good vinyl does that. Tori Amos, Under the Pink on pink vinyl is an excellent recording. The piano sounds very real. One song is a very beat up out of tune old piano. You can ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? I have DSOTM on Island. Island is great and will always be better than the US copies. I also have a Japanese re-master version. The Island is still the best. I don't mind hearing about other sources, just that streaming is not what I have. CD's ... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 Yup, I just bought a desoldering rig in the last year. No idea what took me so long. Very handy tool. Knowing almost zero about all of these components is what makes me nervous. With no experts anywhere near where I live, I have to send things awa... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? I have some Mahavishnu Orchestra. Will have to dig them out. Been awhile. Was listening to Al Di Meola with a buddy of mine on CD. It's interesting, not my thing but tolerable. It is very well recorded as is a lot of jazz. I just don't listen to ... | |
| If anyone is still looking for a SLP-98 A friend of mine sent me a Moscode preamp and it is called a hybrid. He sent it to me to see if it needed tubes as he has no way to test and it had stopped working for him. It had a bad mute switch that just needed cleaning. I was not overly impre... |
