| What is the best tube preamp currently available? I am going to try a shootout between the Wavac, the VTL 7.5 Mk2 and the Atma-Sphere MP-1 Mk. III. I've heard CAT, AR, CJ and Aesthetix. Until now the Wavac is king of the hill but alas also the most expensive. I drive Sound-Labs with Atma-Sphere O... | |

| What makes up an However, Darkkeys not to worry:Case in point: I listened to an old DECCA recording from 1963 of basso arias with Nicolai Ghiaurov just now, a LP, which got several distinctions and which is in perfect synergy with the analog part of my system. I t... | |

| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Lightning protection was my concern as well. I am using Running Springs with Stealth Dream 20amp power cords on a dedicated line. No degradation of sound I found | |

| In Whose Ears Do You Trust Most? Pubul57,you make a very good point I feel. I've been in this hobby even longer than you and I still feel the same as you describe it. My better half plays the violin, I the piano, we have musician friends and other afficionados. When I try out som... | |
| classic sounding 25 watt tube amp Have a look at those. If they should still to be had, I wouldn't let them go by. However I am not sure, if Jadis still makes those.http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1223560033 | |
