After some time, there is a listening test again. This time, 2 solid state preamps based on opamps and JFET transistors are tested. The test files can be downloaded from

The question is if you can hear the difference between the two files and of course the ABX result would be appreciated, as always, but is not mandatory.
Your comments telling which of the files you prefer by listening will be appreciated as well.
============================
Nov 8, 2019: for those who might be interested, there are new samples

Now, it is a contemporary recording issued by a highly regarded record label. To make it not so easy, there are 3 sample recordings now. The same preamps were used in the test as for Sinatra files. Please comment and bring your sound impressions of the new samples.
