| Anybody considerered Merlins? Oh yeah, Tacs, spoken like a true DHT, horn, and probably mono LP fan. I think I'll find my bliss elsewhere, thanks. Oh, and what will he do for bass below 100Hz? | |
| Updating my preamp.Frustrating..You Bet Stereophile doesn't do Atma-Sphere, so no point in looking there. You might try soundstage.com or go on the Atma-sphere web site and look at reviews. I'm guessing the lower priced of the two pre-amps (MP-3) might go for around $2500 used if you co... | |
| Updating my preamp.Frustrating..You Bet You are correct. It does seem to be a buyer's market."I have heard about Atma-Sphere,but they are real pricey of what I remember!Antique Soundlabs,VTL,Classe',EAR and whatever happend to Quicksilver?"I believe the gentleman mentioned 2 to 4K as a ... | |
| Updating my preamp.Frustrating..You Bet Hey, lawrencegrac: I find it interesting that you would consider BAT a "proven name" seeing as how their first product was introduced in 1995. BTW, Sonic Frontiers is no longer in business as a 2 channel tube preamp manufacturer although parts mus... | |
| Magnepan 1.6QR or 2.6R or Sound Lab Dynastats Staying with hybrid electrostats, have you considered InnerSound? A contender, I would think. | |
| Updating my preamp.Frustrating..You Bet I'm very happy with my Atma-Sphere MP-3. The line stage is under 4K, more if you want to add phono (great phono stage, btw). It does run only balanced outputs although that can be adapted. | |
| Dripping faucet leading to a flood; performed by? Maybe you're mis-remembering it a bit. I found on Side 2-B, 3rd cut of "Consequences" a man brushing his teeth (probably binaural recording at that point), leaving the room, then a drop of water starts slowly and gets faster, it's obviously fillin... | |
| Dripping faucet leading to a flood; performed by? I think it's called "Consequences" by Lol Creme and Kevin Godley, a 3 LP set. I have it but I've cranked the stereo down for the night. I'll check it out tomorrow. | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Hi Duke: As usual, your response(s) are informative and to the point. My question to you is, what specifications should us 'stat fans look for in an amp? The 'current' rating should be ..... or above? The 'voltage' capability should be....or above... | |
| Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale? All salespeople get deals on the equipment they sell. Used to be, you could get Mac at 50% off list if you were a salesperson for a dealer. I'm sure there are other deals like that for the store's employees. Sometimes (usually) you're supposed to ... | |
| Smallest tube system for bed room I bought an Antique Sound Labs MG-SI15DT off 'gon for $450 (retail $700). It's a sweet integrated tube 15WPC. Drives my Edge mini-monitors nicely. There's a 30WPC ASL on 'gon right now asking $400. Check out Divergent's web site for more details. | |
| Tube Dampers Dealer? Gawd, I hope not! I only own a pair and I like 'em. Think I'll buy summore's. | |
| Tube Dampers No, trust ME! Do a search on Auiodgon for hal-o. | |
| Choral music suggestions As a fellow Atma-Sphere preamp/amp user, I agree with almost all of Rushton's suggestions. I do prefer the Telarc "Carmina" tho'. Also try "Trav'ling Home" Joel Cohen/Boston Camerata on Erato "Requiem" (Ockeghem) The Clerkes Group on ASV "A Land o... | |
| Re amps with balanced inputs Atma-Sphere is fully balanced. |
