Best Cables for Atma-Sphere MA-1 MP-1 combination
I suggest you check out WyWires. They will be the live/playback partner with Atma and VMPS for T.H.E. Show/CES 2011 Las Vegas. I don't have Atma gear but I do have Alex's ICs (RCA). I found them to offer the most clean and clear sound without anom... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?

World - post your zip code. Perhaps there might be someone in your area who owns these and would be willing to let you hear them. 
does a subwoofer kill stereo sound?

Anyone try stuffing their ports?
I would have first tried pulling them further out into the room to see how that affected, but they are already pulled as far out as they can be so this is not an option. 
Anyone try stuffing their ports?
Rhljazz - Overall I am very satisfied with the improvements the NOS tubes have provided - they are NOT coming out. However, they do seem to provide deeper and bigger bass so am wondering if this is causing any issues with my drivers (only 6.5" pol...

The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo???
After several passes through the mono box set I find that I prefer the mono CDs over stereo for every album. At first listen I thought I preferred the stereo on some albums (White, Rubber Soul) - more audio expansion was presented by the stereo, a... 
Tube Single Ended Triode Questions??
Victor - Please tell me how many watts maximum two parallel 6C33C tubes should be able to generate if not 45/50? 
Tube Single Ended Triode Questions??
My monoblocks are 45 watt SET. Designer/ builder states really more like 50 watts, with peaks to 90 watts. Speakers are 87dB, min. 6 ohms. Plenty-o-power. As stated above, parallel (6C33C) tubes per monoblock.
