| Entry Level Tube Preamp or Higher Quality Used Model? I would look for a used MP-3 and see if you can push the budget a little more. the Pre-amp is the heart of the audio system. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Pre-amp is the heart of your audio systems all the devices are connected to it except the Power Amp. If the Pre-amp is highly transparent the other pieces tend to fall into position better.highly recommend the MP-1 from Atma-Sphere if you can cut ... | |
| Entry Level Tube Preamp or Higher Quality Used Model? I forgot i also owned the BAT gear and Aesthetic Preamps which gave me reliability issues and was sold off within few months so i never had that much time on them. The BAT were ok but not a keeper. | |
| Need advice replacing my preamp I was running 12 Meters of Mogami XLR Cables from Atma-Sphere MP-1 to the mono-blocks. could not tell that between the Purist audio XLR Neptune which cost thousand of dollars.However the above system was from Atma-Preamps to Atma-Poweramps.When i... | |
| Entry Level Tube Preamp or Higher Quality Used Model? Having owned tubes pre-amps such as VAC AudioResearch, Jadis MAC and few other solid-state pre-amps. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Atma-Sphere MP-3 or even better the MP-1. It's more of a destination Pre-amp rather than something you will exc... | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's I have 300B amps, Sweet sounding stuff, love it with very simple less complex stuff but the Atma Paints an honest picture while the 300b will often lie with the sweet voice :-) Funny how in the end honesty seems to be the best policy for a long te... | |
| Manley snapper vs Atma-sphere M60 I love Rock music on the Atma-Sphere more than SET or Push and Pull. I don't know why but I always feel The Atma seem to handle complex music easily and feel more relaxed when doing so even when your pushing the volumes to crazy levels. SET Amps d... | |
| Cube Audio or Charney I am told the Charneys are warmer than the cube audio Speakers the same guy says the Cube is more transparent and open. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC Coming from a MSB R2R Dac to a Playback Design DAC i would say the FPGA is on par and sounds smooth and musical Satisfying as any R2R.Whilst MSB make very good dac overall the Playback Design is less fatiguing smoother and easier to listen too. | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? Atma-Sphere MP-3 Pre-Amp fully loaded will give you about 80-85% Of the Mighty MP-1 Performance.I used to own VAC pre-amps before they are nice and warmer sounding but overall i still like the Atma-Sphere better. | |
| Cube Audio or Charney I would say about 20 watts of power is required from Tube, to get cubes working well. | |
| Cube Audio or Charney i compared Vox cube Lowther & Aer Cubes need more power to get the cone moving and overall the bass was better on the cube compared to the above 3 as mentioned.Speaker Placement, Cables, Amps, Pre-amps all make a difference. To my Ears Cube ... | |
| Cube Audio or Charney Cube audio Sounds fantastic but need a SET amps with allot of grunt to drive the 10 inch harder. Speaker Placement is critical on these drivers. | |
| Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?) Im gona Say Atma-Sphere Phono Stage built into their pre-amps is by far one of the best iv heard. The MP-3 with phono or the MP-1 with phono would be my highest recommendation. | |
| The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading He's just wasting everyone's time. Everyone knows these super high-end prices are nothing but a status symbol to show off with. |
