Atmasphere preamps

I have read some wonderfull reviews on both the atmasphere preamps I linked to through their website. One reviewer seemed to prefer the AS mp3 to the Cj 17, FS pres del, and the Lamm LL2. I did not find much about their preamps in the audio forums, so I thought I would start a new thread on them. How do any of you with first hand experience feel about these preamps, and what amp do you use with it that works well. My amp is a Vac ( kt-88 based) and speakers are the Vandy 5a.

Thanks for your helpfull responses. I am considering the MP-3 to use with my lamm LP-2 phono stage. Is the linestage in the MP-1 that much ( if at all) better than the MP-3, being that the MP- 1 really is supposed to be an all out assault phono stage that just happens to have extra inputs. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Springbok 10, I am looking for a tube Preamp which portrays good texture and decay , and does that dimensionality and space thing. It is o.k. and maybe welcomed if it is not dead neutral and slightly warm. I believe all good preamps at this level should be well designed so that they are quiet enough and give great detail, but it is that extra magic which I am after. I was in Montreal last week and listened to the Jadis gear and in the context of the system which I heard it, there was that magic musicality that eludes many of us, regardless of the money we spend. Again , all my comments are I M (humble) O.
