I think one needs to have a collection of various types of music to test the audio gears. Female vocal may be easier to reproduce but some gears sound better than other. I have 3 preamps (1 solid state and 2 tubes), 5 amps (2 solid states, 2 tubes, and 1 hybrid), and 4 sets of speakers. My experience is that they all have their strength and weakness. For example, one of my tube preamps sounds better with piano music and the other tube preamp sounds better with violin/cello music. -- vett93 Main system: Source: Transporter, modded by ModWright: http://www.modwright.com/modifications/transporter-truth-mods.php Preamp: Dude from Tube Research Labs: http://www.tuberesearchlabs.com/products/dude.html Amp: NP100 Platinum from AltaVista Audio: http://www.altavistaaudio.com/np100.html Speakers: Alto Utopia Be from Focal-JMLab: http://www.ultraaudio.com/equipment/focal_jmlab_alto_utopia.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vett93's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13301 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93320 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
