| Atma Sphere M60 owners...... Yes, you can put 6SN7-GTB tubes into any of the positions. The problem is with non-GTB/GTA tubes. In certain positions the voltage is too high for a non-GTB/GTA. | |

| Atma-Sphere S30 MKII Rontaylor, the Atma-Sphere S30 should be fine with a 16 ohm load. I've been told that it's ideal loading is 12 ohm and 16 should be no problem. The only possible challenge is if the load drops deeply somewhere along the frequency spectrum. The bes... | |

| Best Vinyl Bach - Solo Cello Suites recording? I purchased the Speakers Corner Starker, thank you all for advice.Thanks for letting us know, Jeff1225. Hope you enjoy!. | |
| Best Vinyl Bach - Solo Cello Suites recording? The Rocco Filippini recording on Fone is a fine recording. The performance, however, is in a style of strict adherence to meter and it loses my interest rapidly. Color me a bit disappointed by Filippini, but I like his Haydn concerto on Fone.The S... | |
