| Derek and the Dominos 50th I think the best sounding digital Layla is the MoFi SACD, but don’t expect a miracle, it’s the best of a not very good sounding bunch. The CD layer should be the same mastering as the SACD. | |
| Deja Vu all over again George you should read that review again. According to Tom Fine the new CD sounds better than the previous two releases on CD. He says that this reissue, "kept the original dynamics and tonal qualities." He says the 1994 reissue "is somewhat dyna... | |
| Deja Vu all over again Thanks for the review, tonywinga. I 'm away from home right now but look forward to hearing this one when I get back.bigtwin, They can't get something off the master tape that isn't there, but they can do a better job of getting what is on the m... | |
| Tube Flavor NOS power tubes are very expensive, so those are not an option for most people. You would always want to use the same brand of power tubes in all positions, but, depending on brand of gear, you sometimes can substitute a tube or two of another bra... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. I wonder why Clapton never tried to join The Band after Robbie dropped out? It would have been an interesting experiment and might have given the rest of the guys a much higher profile. Maybe he felt they were too far gone or felt that Robbie was ... | |
| Preamp tubes in power amps See if you can get Viktor to talk to Upscale or get an email from him stating the 7DJ8 is not suitable for his preamp and pursue the matter with Upscale. Did Upscale know that you planned to use the tubes in a BAT pre?Some manufacturers advise th... | |
| Preamp tubes in power amps I’m not familiar with your components, but you want to first upgrade the input tubes or voltage gain tubes, same thing, I think. As to whether the preamp or amp would have the most impact, I’d guess the preamp unless the tubes in your pre are not ... | |
| Preamp tubes in power amps I’m a tube rolling proponent , so I would say yes to both questions, but how much improvement you would hear or what brand of tubes would sound best to you, I can’t say. If you go to tube dealer Brent Jessee’s website: BRENT JESSEE RECORDING HOMEP... | |
| Best 12AU7 Tubes for BHK Preamp? @erastof PS audio has forums on their website where tube rolling is discussed. If you're not familiar with that site, here are a couple links: BHK Preamplifier Tubes - Audio Components / Preamplifiers - PS Audio BHK Preamp tube rolling - Aud... | |
| Best 12AU7 Tubes for BHK Preamp? I have a BHK preamp and my favorite is the Amperex 7316 made in the Heerlen factory in the Netherlands. They can be labelled for other companies too. I recently bought some with the Mullard label. If you’re familiar with the Phillip’s etched codes... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? Got it. Thanks!I find much more to appreciate on a good system, though, and will try to keep a good system as long as I can hear, which may not be all that much longer. | |
| Issue with dynamic range database Got it. | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? Musicians listen primarily for performance values (the music) and not just the sound of the music. Perhaps you can clarify the point you’re making. Music is sound. What you are describing as performance values (Articulation, pitch manipulation, te... | |
| Issue with dynamic range database Ralph, sugabooger, The vinyl in the youtube video is not more dynamic than the CD, no doubt about it.. The TT meter does not work for vinyl. Is vinyl sometimes mastered with greater dynamic range than digital releases of the same album though? Man... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? Put another way, there’s every bit of music to hear and experience from a crappy radio vs. a great sound system. Articulation, pitch manipulation, tempo, instrument usage, and dynamic choices come through pretty well even on a static-ey AM stati... |
