Listening to the Alan Parsons Sound Check 2 CD through linoleum Pleiades Auratone 5C type monitoring speaker

Quite impressive.


Signal path:


Alan Parsons Sound check CD - Sony Walkman line out L, R, bridged - Pleiades 2N3055 one transistor power amp at approx 100mA - Linoleum Pleiades Auratone 5C type monitoring speaker - reverberant room


Amp was tried with low bias, and as 12V was discharging, collector quiescent current dropped to 80mA.


Yet the steam train track did feel like shacking the rum at only about 70dB.


Still at 80mA, battery at 10.4V the sound was nice.


How did it sound?


Very impressive.


Especially on sax.


Piano.


Drums.


Electric bass.


Natural guitars.


Pipe organ.


Square wave.


16KHz sine wave sounding so loud and clear.


In fact it is the first time the music material on the Alan Parsons sound check CD was so enjoyed.


It was listened for the first time from begining to end.


Some strings did so sound perhaps as good as expected.


The flue sounded a bit strange. But the pin point accuracy of wind and sound was sparkling.


The plane was so and so.


Female voice amazing.


The little cube speaker can also make an excellent echo (reverb) room feed speaker.
