Atmasphere mp1 mk3.3 with phono
Thanks for the explanation Ralph! 
Atmasphere mp1 mk3.3 with phono
Oh boy! I didnt say they were improperly designed I simply said that they have very high gain. Also I was addressing the preamp not the amps. I have a pair of MA-1 amps on order as I write this so obviously I dont have a problem with Ralph's produ...

The problem lies not with the 12AT7 tubes it lies with the Atma-sphere and its gain. When you have old stock 12AT7s that will work with 99 out of 100 preamps with the single odd guy being the Atma-sphere...guess what is to blame? I have nothing bu... 
Beginner Looking For Set Up Advice!
If you could find a used Exposure integrated this could be a good match with the B & Ws.  
My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music
That is exactly what I am asking you to do. Dont simply parrot what others have told you and what is the current fashion simply because a post contains a couple of provocative associations. You made the jump not me. Further, and this is classic 20... 
My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music
Well you know that you are really on to something when you alienate 50% of people with a post. How some of you can make such inferences from the OP is beyond me and I would posit that a bit of offense and discomfort would do you a world of good.  
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?

Stereophile's 2021 products of the year

Thank you pesky for the China comment. gpgr dont assume that ARC only uses the cables they do because they sound the best. Industry relationships, formed over decades, have a significant impact.

You guys call them cults, I call them tribes. 21st tribalism is incredibly concerning to me and I think it is the direct result of far too much bad data and the demeaning way in which we address those with whom we disagree.  
Using paypal for local pickup
Do not accept Paypal if you cant confirm delivery of the item. Now friend and family will work but not normal Paypal. I lost sale due to this, but unless you know and trust the customer I wouldnt because you have no protection.

Now that is funny and I thought the same thing.  
What do you have on order RIGHT NOW.
Politically incorrect t-shirts. Also am going to get in a Trilogy Audio 925 integrated amp for consideration next week. Heard the 915R preamp and it was superb.
