Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps


Sixty Years On by Elton John.
A Demanding song with Orchestra, and a Lot of Head Room.
Played loud, it reveals Intense Strings and Swells
Whichever Preamp does That best, Wins !
The other one goes up for sale, period.

Cheers all !

Streamed with Tidal Masters. It may not be up to Audiophile Standards, but - a lot of songs I like are not as well, and it's OK. For me, I want the system to do a good job rendering less than perfect recordings. The fact is, Diana Krall sounds good on All systems.
After settling in with the same amp for the past year, I was surprised how differently the song sounded by changing only the Preamp. It was less noticeable on Diana Krall and Dire Straights material.
