| Zero Feedback: Atmasphere vs. BAT I know VK as an engineer. No doubt about him. They use differential driving stages(balanced circuits) and classic push-pull output design that really doesn't need deep negative feedback just like most of the tube amps.I also know that to achieve t... | |

| Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature II Give it or take there are no equal ears around there. Heard them (aiming to upgrade my 1Cs bunch of years ago) with 50Wpc tube amp and heard them with 200W/ch SS amp. In both cases they're too slow for rock and instrumental music I listen to. They... | |

| AntiSkate-crooked Cantilever correlation? AntiSkate is only convenience for user to prevent sliding down and damaging the first track. I don't use antiskate and place needle as close as possible to the first grove and slowly land. | |
