| preamp with Atma-sphere m60 II A 3rd vote for the MP-3. When I added an AS preamp to my AS amp, the difference for the better (over a very well regarded, much more expensive pre-amp)was striking. You need look no further. | |
| Phono hook-up for Atma-Sphere MP-1? Pat,Cant wait to hear what changes 14 years have wrought - when I last listened - 1991 - My Kinergetics KD 40 CDP sounded as good as my Sony x800 with Denon 103D - but I'm hoping the updated SOTA, OL, Shelter and EAR are an improvement........ever... | |
| Phono hook-up for Atma-Sphere MP-1? Rush,I guess I took the purist's (well, almost - purist would have been have Ralph put in a phono stage, but then I couldnt use the TT with my other single ended set-ups, which I wish to do) way out by getting an EAR 824, which has balanced and SE... | |

| Phono hook-up for Atma-Sphere MP-1? Pat,I meant phono stage outs - that is, from a separate phono pre amp into the MP-1.Somebody else has answered that the tape monitor is not a good input for a phono to linestage input for technical reasons, interfering with sonics, but I'm sure Ra... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Thank you all for your input. I have decided to start "modestly" with my vinyl system, since I will only have 200 or so LPs of questionable condition (havent been played for 20 years, some of them)to start with, dont know if I will really get into... | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? No toobs, huh? | |
| My Jadis Int amp. distorts in the upper mid-range 2-24-03 "Did you check the bias?"4-03-05 "Thanks guys - it was the bias"26 months later. That's a pretty fair reflection of how long it takes to bias this amp:) But it sure is worth it! (I own one) | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Nsgarch,I presume the Manley, ($7.3K) Tom Evans Groove ($3.6K) and EAR 324 ($3.6K) are all balanced? Why, if this is so crucial, do dealers tell me that they hardly sell any balanced units as phono stages? Is this not true? I am not arguing, since... | |

| Need to re-discover analog - please help My sense is that Springbok10 is a man of means...I hope my wife never reads this thread, since I told her we couldn't afford to re-furnish the family room. How could we? Every red cent is earmarked for sonic solace, which is how I justify the insa... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat,Even though I e-mailed you privately today, in response to your generous, unsolicited sharing of thoughts about another thread, in which I had asked a question,I want to be part of this thread. To say that this thread has had a shuddering, sha... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help I also dont want to argue - I would love to buy a VPI - and I certainly respect what you & Rush say. Let's just say I "misheard" Larry, since he is a VPI seller according to the website that I have just checked - maybe he just said that by omi... |
