OK, I've moved to the Cave for some Vinyl...finishing the Nina LP then will play the Art Pepper...this is a circa 70's reissue that I bought sealed thinking it was an original 1960 copy...the jacket is identical to the original so I only realized it was a reissue when I opened it and found a yellow label rather than a deep groove black label. I probably paid too much as a result...

PS...the Art Pepper LP is excellent...flat and quiet...sounds great and of course not a mark on it...

Still digging this Miles 2 LP set and doing some tube rolling. Try as I might I haven't yet found a 12AX7 that works as well in the middle position as the cryo'd TAD 12AX7 so it stays. There''s a precision and a nice deep bass that no other tube gives. I now have a Telefunken branded 12AX7 in the second position and I haven't yet found a 12AU7 that knocks the Siemens I have in still, that gives just the right character to the whole complement. I have some other 12AX7 tubes in storage I'll have to dig out soon. Tube-rolling the ZP3 is the final frontier of vinyl playback for me now.

Never realized this LP sounded this good! Always loved the cover and the music. Jerry was something else. Unique!

Also didn't notice until today that the tune "Rhapsody in Red" has a rhythm guitar part that sounds like Foreigner's "Hot Blooded". . . Cats Under the Stars was released in April '78. The Foreigner single was released in June '78.

Lon, my internet has been in and out since yesterday so may not be posting this morning but I wanted to tell you some of the tubes I've liked in the ZP3. I initially had the Raytheon black plate 12AX7s and rolled multiple 12AU7s...I seem to have settled on the RCA triple Mica Black plate 5814...it's been there without rolling for at least 6 months.

Then I rolled the 12AX7 position, usually with pairs of the same tube type although I know this is not necessary. I really enjoy the 5751 type...all triple micas except for some Tung Sols that I found to be wonderful. The Sylvania Black Plate triple micas are in place currently but others I like are the sylvania triple mica gray plates, RCA triple Mica black plates and even the GE triple micas were very good particularly the black plates.

Of the 12AX7s I tried... the Mullards just didn't wow me...they were a bit muddy and dull compared to others. As usual, the Amperex brand was a favorite...the white label 12AX7s were great. I've tried many other tubes in the ZP3 but have given you some of the best to try. But I should note that I really haven't tried any tube that didn't do at least an acceptable job in the ZP3. Have fun rolling.

Oh, and I'm listening to this CD...Mark.
