Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1?

Obviously, there is a big price difference between the two(not as big used). But, these two are likely to be in the top of the true balanced, fully differential, reference preamps available.

I'm mostly interested in the sonic differences anyone would have noticed switching between the two in their own system.

Hello Darkmoebius,

Just wanted to take the opportunity and give a plug for the BAT Rex. I don't think you'll find a preamp that dives deeper into the texture of sound as the BAT Rex. That's what I consider detail!

At the same time it does it with such a sense of authority and grace, never blinking an eye, a feeling of ease to the sound that invites one to listen in to the music. For me it is such a pleasure to own and I wish you luck finding a pre that you'll feel the same about.

best,
Tom

"Maybe Victor's business partner can provide a view on the MP-1. This thread seems to be heavily biased towards the BAT..."

Hello Rob,

Besides BAT making some of (IMO) best sounding components your money can buy they also set the example of class and professionalism. I've never once seen Victor or the other principals of BAT use a public forum for self promotion.

If Victor responds to a thread about BAT equipment it is always factual and technical, and its intent is meant to be truly helpful. No subjective opinion on he feels his components sound, especially compared to his competitors.

My apologies if this too far off from the original subject matter.

best,
Tom
