| Great sounding 'newer' Jazz Recording from 2010 Thanks for the rec guys!!! | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular But I should note I like tubes like I like women. All are beautiful in their own right. Some just do it for me more than others. :) I will compare my notes and make an update with more details. I sgoujd akso note note the Gold Lion kt77 is the onl... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular In contrast, the EL34 can be a touch droopy and slow. It also lacks a bit of the whole spectrum while focusing on midrange. The 7581a gives a broader view like a KT88 but with charm and romance in the midrange. | |
| Great sounding 'newer' Jazz Recording from 2010 I almost forgot- some of the chatter before the songs adds to the picture of the recording. It’s utterly real and shows the room so to speak. | |

| Tube Rolling with the Line Magnetic 518 IA @willmacc, I don't have this amp. I have a Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated and have tried the Tung Sol 7581A reissue. I highly recommend them. I've rolled KT150s, KT88s, EL34s and the 7581as. The Tung Sol 7581a is my favorite. I like the 1... | |

| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later Maybe it’s my system is way better these days but I’m finding other recordings I previously dismissed as “listless” from the engineering or production level (not the art or music).

| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later @gawdbless, my sense is you’re joking around but if not all apologies!i should’ve used the term “listless” | |
| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions johnss, any chance if folks PM you with their email you could send pics of your unit showing the actual caps you swapped? | |
| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later You are correct, Frank, Charlie Parker never played a motif twice. Endless ideas. Endless. | |
| Your favorite male soul voices +1 on Boz Scaggs. | |
| Your favorite male soul voices Big +1 on Sam Cooke. Night Beat is soooooo good. | |
| Your favorite male soul voices Great list!!!!!I'll add EARLY Lou Rawls. Check out his album with Les McCann and Les's trio. I just lent a copy to a new 'phile friend I met here on the 'Gon. He reluctantly borrowed it and told me when I visited him and his rig that it is amaz... | |
