| Repair in New Orleans? @ bruno...the guy on the westbank is probably Tom Sima. I used to take my Phase Linear 400s to him back in the '80's. If he still has the same business name that would be Westbank Audio. @matt...with the passing of Doug Wilson a few months ago, I... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks @ srama I have owned the A-S MP-1 for 20 years and just got it back from being upgraded to 3.3 status. Ralph finally got me to agree to it after 10 years of subtle persuasion. All this time it has been paired with his M60s. A friend of mine ha... | |
| Repair of Butler Audio Amp Ralph @ Atma-sphere has worked on many brands of amps. He's in Minn., BTW. Give him a call if all else fails. | |
| How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ? Hi Tony. I don't know if you're still undecided as to whom to let service your Quickies but the first guy I'd call lives and has his business in MSPL. Give Ralph @ Atma-sphere a call. He can and has worked on all kinds of tube amps, regardless of ... | |
| Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs. I think a preowned Atma-sphere MP-3 would be just the ticket. And it's truly balanced and adheres to the AES48 standard. No opamps are used to convert between single ended and balanced. | |
| Digital LP’s Which is why I will not buy any vinyl with a "D" in the recording chain. It's AAA or nothing. Unless I get fooled somehow and it has happened a few times. | |
| Mojo Audio - Mystique Y NC DAC It sounds so much better than....what? | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers Atma-sphere are exclusively mono and run about $6000 the pair. The other two vendors offer both stereo and mono as far as I can tell. | |
| Virtual Systems Thanks @toro3...a piece of cake. | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers There is a pair of Avantgarde Duos for sale here right now. $10800 and the dealer claims they are like new. | |
| Best Covers The Cures' cover of "Purple Haze". Heavy "stuff" (is that acceptable enough for you, AI Bot?). | |
| MICHI 8 Amp(s) @shkong78 109db sensitive AG Trios and Class AB SS 1000 watt Michis. Could there be a more ridiculous counter intuitive pairing? | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk My point in referencing the refurbed CD Pro 2 was that for less than $500 I could buy it and have it replace the current drive in my AA Drive 1 if the original drive were to crap out. Therefore, unless the Aqua smokes the fully function... | |
| Dream Amps I Could Not Afford 20 Years Ago Now Undesirable @koh_i_noor If you're a fan of class D and balanced I'd say Atma-sphere is right up your alley. I don't see how you could go wrong. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad I fully expect I would be thrilled with the La Diva. The biggest quandary for me is, knowing that I can get a refurbed CD Pro 2 like the one in my AA drive from ENCO, is the CD Pro 8 that much better to justify the 20x cost to get ... |
