Just played a few LPs. Love Over Gold by Dire Straits, A Deeper Understanding by War On Drugs, The Wall by Pink Floyd. It's a very enjoyable sound using Oblivion. Open, clear, airy and the bass is how it should be. With impact without being overdone. There's a snappiness to the tone and it's lively. No trace or hint of glare. As with headphone, what's coming from the speakers exhibit a nice tube tone with very good details and imaging. Depending on the recording of the LPs, Oblivion's volume knob hovers around 12 to 3 pm for my usual comfortably loud level without destroying my ears. That's something I wouldn't do. The ears are more precious than any gear.
The intent wasn't to replace the 265w 4 ohms Regum Rgi120enr black series with Oblivion for stereo duties but the latter was very enjoying doing just that. The Axis LS88 floorstanders is 300w capable power handling, 4 ohms and 91db sensitivity @ 1 meter and Oblivion was driving it with no lost of fidelity. I was actually enjoying listening to those LPs.
Now for a few photos...
