Videos: Show me MALE vocals

Here is another good Paranoid video on horns. Don't know about the LP pressing. The presentation is quite different in terms of tonal balance. Impact and bass energy is good as measured by the vibrations on my desk caused by my iMac computer speakers.
Always liked this song. Around 1990, wife and I saw Al Stewart at The Strand in Manhattan Beach, CA for a dinner and a live performance type event.
Al Stewart had a keen sense of humor and it was a very pleasant evening overall. But I experienced something during an instrumental piece of Stewart's that I've never exerpienced before nor since. During this one instrumental piece for maybe a minute or 2 at most, I was so completely immersed that it was as though I lost time or was transported or perhaps like I was on some type of LSD trip. There was nothing special about venue or where we were seated, but it was a rather incredible few moments that I'll never forget. Maybe it was the chili I don't know but quite a little experience.
Volume up.

Great tune. Thank you. That looks like a Pass Aleph 5 amp there.
When Peter Schrier visited a high end show, he looked at the prices of everything and went Ow! at every label. And sang this aria
Sounds great. Smooth and silky highs and very organic lifelike mids. I wish bass has a little bit more speed. Anyway I think that’s a pretty good sound for a 833 amp and a double woofer speaker.
It's a GM70 14 watt amp in front, and the horn speaker is off its normal position as the lowther beyma cone is in its place. So in the right place the bass is better. The horn speaker is playing. But then this record is not a bassy one, it is just musical Bach tenor arias by Peter Schreier.
That explains the beautiful sound. Sorry, I couldn’t make out which amp is playing from the video. I thought 833s.

I was like 95% packed when I recorded these. All my main stereo stuff was packed, even some of things I setup for Ron to have a listen to. But when I pulled out the mini monitors for packing I decided to see what they sounded like in a recording. Sadly digital, with the only DAC I have that is fully assembled from long ago (it is ok). The speakers are pretty natural sounding but cannot fully make up for the DAC imo. Granted it is a NOS DAC so it is inherently nicer to my ears than many, but there's a host of parts on it I would change out were to want to actually use it regularly.
I would like to try the speakers with main amplifiers (and TT's, etcs) but they cannot take the power, the 15-20w~ in the video literally puts them into protection mode at times.

Live very raw and not fantastic recording in a house

Server is a disc player, nothing special. DAC is a AudioSector NOS DAC. I personally think it is the weaker link even though I love NOS DACs. I haven't had the time to design my own.
I do not expect many to be familiar with the album or genre. I was surprised how well the voices really have their own timbre, texture, separation like different instruments. I was not sure something like that would come across in a video. I had recently added a small change to the amplifier that had become part of later designs, seems to help it sound less hollow in video and in person is full/powerful.
Mono (digital) on a single not so open baffle. Nothing like some Sinatra to start off the weekend, with this 1950s version of Saturday Night Fever
Same song but with slightly different sound:
