Atmas-phere MP-3 MKIII --- opinions?
The other day after dinner with friends in Atlanta we went to one of their homes, where we demonstrated the Atma-Sphere UV-1 in his very high end system. The preamp acquitted itself very well even before being warmed up. They will have it for a fe...

Teeshot, as you can see I have helped Loki1957 (twice) as well as others, including Flemke. Loki1957 wants me to fly out to Santa Fe to set up his rig when he and his wife retire out there next year. I've traveled to customers' homes on the west a...

Larry, you should come hear them anew. The PX technology and some other improvements came along after that.I have the U-1PXs in a large purpose-built room. The last weekend in June I'm having a special event you might not want to miss.Brian 
The End Of Big Iron?
Mapman, letting the heat coming off amplifiers escape to the outdoors can be extremely effective. Whether that requires ductwork depends upon the construction and what systems are in place. In other words if you are able to remove the heat there i...
