jazzbo Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Sun Ra in Egypt 1971, cd 2. Wild stuff. Mastering on this set is very good, getting the best out of the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Coming back to this one, mainly because I've become quite drawn to the playing of Joel Ross and Mark Turner. Jason Palmer "The Concert: 12 Musings for Isabella" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can vary, but tubes generally are all they will be within 25 to 50 hours. Transformers, big capacitors, etc. take longer. I've been using Decware amps for about 26 years. They usually are "broken in" by 500 to 600 hours. That's about where I am with this new amp. Not my amp--I don't have a camera and don't do pictures--but this is generally what mine looks like, with that massive transformer and copper plated end caps it looks very nice. This one has the standard black endcaps on the transformer but shows the padauk wood base and ebony knobs that I have on mine. A beautiful amp.

A beautiful amp. Yowza. What gorgeous hardware. There's almost something MAGICAL and ALTAR-like about it -- which seems entirely appropriate, given the fact that it's made to reproduce MUSIC. My Marantz solid state amp works very well, and it has for a long time. But it's just a black box compared that illuminated sorcery! JK. . . but also (sorta) not.

There is a real difference between solid state and tubes. . . merits to both. I grew up with my Dad's Dynaco system and for a long time had a 1959 EICO stereo tube integrated amp. I just am acclimated totally to tubes. And this one is the best amp I've owned yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
