One of The Mars Volta's most challenging listens IMO. It has taken me at least 3 listens to get to grips with some of the songs, there are a lot of complex rhythms and multl-layers going on often at breakneck speed. Each time I listen the more detail I hear

Trying stuff out to assess an amp I bought yesterday, but I don't know why I'm bothering - Mrs. P has had me put the speakers against the wall to make room for a Christmas bloody tree, so nothing is as it should be. And it'll stay like that for the next 3/4 weeks :( Bah humbug...
Another AMP?:scratch:What are you up to now Steve?:DQuote:

I know not everyone likes Macca, but this one is well worth a listen if you have not heard it, superb production, great mix and a very dynamic recording, this vinyl version is excellent.

I just had to listen to this live rock album again, this has to be one of the best recorded that is out there, it certainly is on par with Deep Purple - Made in Japan, I am so pleased I got it after it was recommended to me.

Wishbone Ash - now that takes me back!!! Saw them live at Southport Floral Hall (As it was then called) back in the early 80's my student years, I also saw Iron Maiden at Lancaster University with Trust as support before Bruce Dickinson was lead singer, them were the days !https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...812e782d15.jpg

Oh I don't know Adrian, much as I like my Audion Silver Night 300b, I had come to the conclusion that although it is great with jazz and acoustic stuff, it seemed to get a bit messy when driven harder or given more complex work. A big chunk of my music collection was just not enjoyable. While my speakers are very sensitive, I think the impedance can drop quite low in places (just something I read somewhere).Quote:

A bit of the "air" I enjoyed with the Audion seems to have gone, but I won't know for sure till the speakers go back to their original positions.
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and my knowledge is very little :)
I have no plans to sell the Audion. The guy I bought the MF amp from, Neil (Enrae8) gave me a listening session on his Mastersound 845 into some Heco Direkt speakers, and the combination sounded wonderful to my ears. So definitely not turning my back on valves :)
Soft Cell version of 3 classic Hendrix tracks, starting with Hey Joe, slightly awesome.
Yes a good SS amp certainly can tame those bottom end demands. I often wonder if I did the right thing moving 6 years ago from the Meridian 557 to valves, a costly journey. The Allnic does well though. I saw the MF and was tempted but not in a position to do as you at the moment. Happy listening.Quote:

Time for another Live album, from one of the first signs HM IMO, although quite blues based, ahead of their time. As live recordings go it is pretty good, Nantucket Sleighride is pretty extravagant an excuse for the band to let rip and jam.

I had a short stint with The 300B Audion Silver Knights and when both monoblocks were noise free and with the right music they were sublime, however, they just couldn't deliver across my varied music collection and were replaced with what can only be described as my favourite valve amps at an "affordable" price Lumley Reference M120's.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...523ba76eae.jpg
