No, it's the original st35, it's like new, the tubes are with the Dynaco logo, I think it's el84 RCA and Mullard 12dw7

Nice find Daro

How about some Dizzy Gillepsie on vinyl



As always, listening thru a decent set of headphones may sound better and more enjoyable than thru cell phone/laptop speakers

Best wishes,

Lucky Thompson - tenor saxophone
Hank Jones - piano
Oscar Pettiford - bass
Osie Johnson - drums

Recorded in NYC on January 30, 1956.

Mostly digital - speakers are still analog!

Welcome to “What’s Worse” in Audio:

50€ speaker cables, no interconnects (none needed), no audiophile fuses, basic stock power chord, no power supply regenerators/conditioners, basic streamer with WiFi, files on a basic Intel NUC, no audiophile network switch, reclockers, or other audiophile digital voodoo, all equipment sitting on Ikea shelves, no headaches and audiophile anxieties…stuff just works reliably and always sounds the same regardless of the time of day ( and it sounds good to me and my adult children).

Would the sound of Lucky Thompson’s saxophone be significantly different with more expensive gear? I honestly don’t think so, but everyone will have their opinion about that.

Consider what jazz critic Jan Evensmo wrote about these recordings: “His [Thompson’s] sound was always unique, now it has a glow making it the most beautiful tenorsax sound in jazz history (together with that of Zoot Sims in slow tempo decades later),”

Was he listening to high end audio gear when making this comment? No. Would he have gained even better appreciation of Thompson by listening with the best gear? Perhaps. I honestly wonder because my experience so far does not support this.

Here's something I find interesting...
It has been said that Dizzy Gillespie first taught himself how to play the trombone at age 12, then the trumpet at age 14.
Here is a vinyl recording of him playing the trombone at a live concert
I hope you enjoy!

Best wishes,
Don
