Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
I have  Atma-Sphere MA-1’s with all the options. Have an Atma-Sphere MP-3 Vcaps and Caddocks. Both are 3.3 versions so current. Am running Bel Canto Dac and Streamer Dac back to back. Current versions. Running Roon with dedicated server.  Classe C... 
Mcintosh MC275 alternatives?
Depending on speakers…. I wouldn’t rule out the Atma-Sphere M-60 or the Atma-Sphere Class D  
Best Amp for Type AA Klipschorns (1978)
Yeah my Ma-1’s are 140 watt tube power. Drives them just fine. Lol… and sounds even better. I did install the gain plug as well. Thanks for the input on the F7. Seems quite a few people prefer that amp.

Nice…. Yeah I’ve been thinking First Watt. I’ll have to do more research. Seems the F7 maybe a nice one to try.

I’ve heard the Atma-Spere a couple of times in the design stages over the past couple years. But that was at Atma-Sphere on non loaded horn speakers. That’s was why I was asking here if anyone had them with a Horn speaker. Thier impressions and su...

Thanks for the responses. I should have clarified Solid State. mall good suggestions though. Want something that wife doesn’t have to worry about the tubes. She’d be lost if one went out and I wasn’t around. I am running Atma-Sphere Ma-1’s right n... 
Best tube amp and setup for me?
At 97.5 Spl a Atma-Sphere S-30 and an Atma-Sphere UV-1 would be an awesome setup for those.  
Best tube preamplifier for under $15k
@inna I am guessing you’ve never heard an Atma-Sphere MP-3 with all the options. Or the MP-1. Although the MP-1 starts there and goes to more than double. So that’s out. But a full custom Atma-Sphere MP-3 built by Ralph’s team at Atma-Sphere is ve...

I’d have to say Atma-sphere. One for sonic qualities.... and two build quality. Atma-sphere is as good as your going to get. With impeccable Customer Service. 
Atma-Sphere Owners, MP-3 Upgrade
I didn’t notice as significant difference when I did them to my amps. But the preamp, I thought it was significant. 
Atma-Sphere Owners, MP-3 Upgrade
I have talked to Ralph on this subject a lot. I have had M60’s upgraded, MA-1’s upgraded and now MP-3. Ralph has never said to me that the Caddocks aren’t worth it. If that was the case I doubt he’d sell them. What he has said.... Is that there ar... 
Atma-Sphere Owners, MP-3 Upgrade
Should have read my response to you before posting. That UV-1 with point to point wiring was not an upgrade. I was an early version. Also that is as modded as it can possibly be.  And like I said. You ever want to sell it. Please contact me. Hope ... 
Atma-Sphere Owners, MP-3 Upgrade
Ahh yes you did.... Lol... Anyway, it has Vcap ODAM and Power Regulation. Point to point wiring. And if you ever want to sell it. Pleasegive me the first chance. Only piece I ever regret selling.

Didn’t you by that UV-1 from me?  
V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like
Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten has installed Vcaps in much of my systems. I had a UV-1 serial number 002 I regret selling that had ODAM in. Today I picked up my PAS 2 that he modified and used ODAM in. And I will say I do love the ODAM caps.  My MP3 h...
