I am not going to say it was as night-and-day as comparing tubes with transistors, but careful, intense and even frustrating listening allowed me to differentiate between the two, the vast cost disparity notwithstanding. That in itself makes all of this moot. But I was able to tell which was which thanks to my old faves, the J. Geils Band.

‘Did You No Wrong’ from Ladies Invited [Atlantic SD 7286] features each of the band’s members displaying virtuoso talents on guitar, harmonica, drums and assorted keyboards. Both decks allowed the listener to zoom in on each, or simply sit back and savour the experience. Where the two differed was in presentation. The Air Force III was more revealing, more analytical, with the kind of grip and command which places great demands on the rest of the system.
