So trying to decide if the Atma-sphere is competitive against other options at $5,200 to $5,500 when all is said and done....You got lots of options in this price range.
Atmas-phere MP-3 MKIII --- opinions?
This is a follow up to my previous post:
I'm leaning toward the Atmosphere MP-3 MKIII to replace my current solid state preamp.
Preamp: Musical Fidelity M6PRE (to be replaced)
Amp: Musical Fidelity M6PRX
Speakers: Vandersteen 3a Signatures
Analog: VPI traveler turntable with Ortofon Bronze MM cartridge
Digital: Ayre CX-7 CD player
Lots of good reviews for the Atmas-phere MP3. But I'm also reading that the power and V-cap upgrades are essential, the phono section is noisy and the system is sensitive to power cord changes.
I guess I really want to get the Atmas-phere and am hoping folks here can share their experiences to help me decide. Or other comparable tube preamp suggestions?
