CSNY deja vu actually it is a CD no matter what DSP I use it sounds lousy. Well it is a little better in 9 channel. Otherwise it sounds like a transistor radio.

    Turns out it is not the recording. My 707's don't sounds as good to me anymore. I like the whole 9 channel setup more than just playing the 707's in 2 channel

    As I recall, the original LP sounds pretty good; there are a few copies 'round here -- I shall give one a spin some time & see if it confirms my aural memory.

    No copy on CD here, tho', FWIW.

    Well I know I am comparing apples to oranges but that CD sounds pretty good on the dungeon system I will not be playing it in the parlor again. I just wish I had a good wife that could hump these speakers from room to room so I could make a better comparison. Yall think that these 707's should sound pretty decent with the A31 no?

    Absolutely, would be a great amp for any configuration, even if you sell the 707's or move carp around

    Sounds like carp, eh?
    Someone's been listening to Capt. Beefheart's "Tout Mask Replica" again?

    Captain Beefheart? Certainly an acquired taste there, and usually one that Zappa enthusiasts drift too soon after they're infected by Frank! lol

    Tubes and Ushers is pretty magical. I have listened to some stuff that I always thought were poor recordings and the tube amp usher combo sounds ever so sweet with a very amazing soundstage
