Now playing with tubes... I just picked up a Quicksilver GLA EL34 tube amp.

Teddy Edwards - The Inimitable Teddy Edwards (Xanadu)

Once you get past the wonky piano & bass sound, this is a pretty nice date. Great solo intro to "Stella By Starlight" by Teddy - worth the price of admission alone.

Up next: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - A Night In Tunisia (Blue Note)

A blue label Van Gelder pressing. Looking forward to it.

And Bobby Timmons on Prestige 7483, blue label, 203 So. Washington:

Love Bobby Timmons--don't know that one though (yet)

I think I've read somewhere or other that this is a rather hard to find Timmons album. I was hooked right away when I spotted it. It was released on a two-fer CD recently but I don't know o\if that is still available.

Hi Kevin, is this your first move into tubes? I love tubes and vinyl; they sound great together. A natural match.

Now listening to:

A witty, fun, and respectful mix of ragtime and free jazz.

Yup. I've been toying eith the idea for many years and came very close to buying a Decware Zen Torii, but the price was just a bit too much for my (wife's) budget. I was able to pick up this Quicksilver GLA for $700. The only drwaback was that it arrived (via UPS) looking like it had been run over by the UPS truck that delivered. I had to replace the destroyed fuse holder on the back panel because they sheared it off during the "drop shipping".

I am thinking about putting in Psvane 6CA7-T or KT88-T tubes in next. That's one of the nice things about this amp - self biasing. I can drop in a whole bunch of different tubes with no worries, :)

BTW, this LP of "A Night In Tunisia" is awesome!! :)

I forgot this was a Nessa LP! Lucky Thompson, Tete Montoliu, Eric Peter, Peer Wyboris (don't know the last two). Nessa n-13:

two interesting quotes about that record:

"Damn, that's a real bebop rhythm section" - Roscoe Mitchell

"Oh yeah, you got the real tapes" - Eli Thompson

Any chance of a CD reissue?

Lucky is cross eyed here. Great date, not with standing facial asymmetry.

Was just listening to this the other night. Fine one indeed.

Chuck said something a while back about the Riker's Island LP being much, much better in mono. Does that hold true for other Audio Fidelity LPs?

I wouldn't be surprised...

But I never saw the mono editions of these! When given the choice, I always picked the mono copy back in the vinyl times

<_<

Now listening to:
