what are you listening to?

I set the Model One to "Ballad Singer" mode and up popped two debut albums.
Joan Baez in 1960 and Gordon Lightfoot (RIP) in 1966,
and a classic by Bob Dylan from 1974. The Model One puts these singers right
in front of you, incredible.....I'm still exclaiming "WOW" out loud whenever I play something new on the Model One :D.

Joan Baez – Joan Baez
Vanguard - VRS-9078
Debut Album – November, 1960
Mono – Rockaway Pressing
Just Joan and her guitar – Exquisite


Gordon Lightfoot – Lightfoot
United Artists – UAS 6487
Debut Album – 1966 - Stereo
Canadian Pressing
Just Gordon and his guitar, acoustic bass,
and a second acoustic guitar.


Bob Dylan – Blood on the Tracks
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab – MFSL -1-381
Original Master Recording – Reissue 2013
Have the 1974 original, (Columbia PC-33235) bought it new, wore it out,
so this version is my go to copy now.

Bought both of these new in 1969, survived my early youth, college room mates, and parties, and they both still sound incredible.
Good memories with these two, playing them LOUD !

Blood on the tracks is one of the best albums ever recorded...IMO
 
Enjoying the new Model One today, playing some Jazz favorites:
This amplifier is simply amazing. The more I listen to it, the more I hear. I mentioned in my other post on building the Model One, how compared to my WOPL’d 700b’s, the Model One has such clarity, brilliance, presence, and a depth to the soundstage (the imaging that I spoke of)
These two albums just come to life ! ...... Literally.
Bass is definitely more powerful as well.

Sonny Rollins / Teddy Edwards with Joe Castro
At Music Inn / At Falcon’s Fair
Metro-Jazz E1011
Original First Pressing
Stereo – Deep Groove
Released in Jan 1960 / Recorded in 1958


Donald Byrd – Slow Drag

I can't say enough about the quality of the Model One.
I have had absolutely zero issues with it since building it.
I was impressed with the design before I built it, and now I am blown away by how incredible it is.
I look forward to listening every day, simply a pleasure, hearing the music as it was recorded, and intended to be heard.
Definitely puts a smile on my face every day :D............and I have been listening to the fully WOPL'd 700b's that I built for years !
