I don't think a single person HERE is implying Atmasphere or the product he manufactures is anything but "Top of Line", "Best in His Field". Please understand other professionals do exist outside the audiophile community that also encompass most of the disciplines for building stereo related gear, including the furniture audiophiles use.
Audiophiles may be a select community, but they have reached way beyond a lot of the older facts that use to be accepted as gospel. Cable is cable. Fuses are fuses. OAK is the only speaker finish. Class Ds suck. Why are you still using tubes? Concrete everything to the floor. Speaker spikes work. and the biggest of all, Come to AG and get a blast from the past.
Everyone has peers. I don't want to equate emotional attachment to a great person in leu of the fact, other people build crazy good amps TOO. Some not for a living but for pure pleasure and because they can take the time a lot of great production manufactures, CAN'T. If they did it would cost me or you 60K plus ++++.
I can't afford Ralphs Best and a 2+ year wait. At least his company offers it. Most don't.
I like Dodd's mods. Try to find his work. Samra's Mac builds, Herron's, there is a few great builders and more than one size fits all.
I like things MY way, when I pay.
From OHM mouth to this screen verbatim. I'm on line with him in real time face to face.
"The Finnish people have BIG rabbits" "They eat a lot of duck eggs too."
"I wonder if they quarantine rabbits? I bet they do. Get a bill for 20K behind a rabbit."
"The Finnish people have LOTS of tubes too. They could hold out until the second coming. The Finns are hoarders, Thank God. They actually laugh about Putin's Russia. They have a lot better equipment too. 7-800 miles of borders with that Bully for years. It's no big thing to them. They HATE Putin's puppets. Seagal is the NEW word for $hit in Finland. Get the Seagal off your BOOT"
It's all the time I have, back to work. SLOW day.
