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

 I'm an Elton John fan too,but find the recordings too compressed unfortunately:( I still enjoy them though.The other day I really wanted to hear some Blood Sweat and Tears tunes.Spinning Wheel is a very dynamic song!I'd sort of forgotten about them.Lots of brass,drums,bass,and that powerful voice of course:)

What is an "A/B"?

There are many recordings I use for evaluating gear, but I particularly like using Stevie Ray Vaughn's " Tin Pan Alley " to do any equipment evaluations ( studio version from the album " Couldn't Stand the Weather " ). Enjoy ! MrD. 

@stringreen - I just saw the Elton John (farewell tour). Was not disappointed.

I have the original 1986 West German DJM Records CD of Elton John's self-titled album with "Sixty Years On" on it. I have it ripped to FLAC and play it via Roon on my system and it sounds sublime!

Of course I have a Don Sachs Model 2 tube line stage and a Don Sachs tube amp so it should sound fantastic!
