Another vote for MP-1. I have MK 3.1 version and absolutely love it! Previously I was using MK 1.2 which already was fantastic. This almost latest version is even better. The match with M-60 is perfect.
What is the best premp for Atma-Sphere MA-1 3.3 amp?
I am thinking about Atma-Sphere MA-1 amp to drive Sound Lab speakers. I can go with A-S preamps (MP-1 or 3) but I was wondering if there are better sounding or better value preamps that match well with MA-1 amp. I am new to tubes and am concerned about the tube hassle, but it seems that the improvement in 3D and clarity of tubes may be worth it. Any recommendations? I wan to stay slightly below the proverbial "point of diminishing returns."
