| BAT VK-60se vs Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII Ehein324, since you have Eidolons, I'd encourage you to consider whether you can step up to a pair of used Atma-Sphere MA-1 amplifiers. In my opinion, there's not much out there that will be able to match the results you'll obtain with that combin... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Lonnie Johnson with Elmer Snowden -- "Blues, Ballads and Jumpin' Jazz" - Analogue Productions APR 3001. Great music making by these long time blues musicians. The interplay between them in the studio will make you feel like they've walked into you... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Good to see this thread again tonight!For me late today: the 45 rpm Cisco reissue of Famous Blue Raincoat, Jennifer Warnes. Yes, it's really, really good. Fellow Audiogoner Elinor encouraged me to get it and was right in his enthusiasm for it! | |
