| Avalon Indra with 35w SET amplifiers Hello,For me, I have found that building the system around the room and speaker (Eidolon Diamond) has worked in the long haul and has endured. YMMVGood luck,Tom | |
| Avalon Indra with 35w SET amplifiers Hello, Tim,While you may be able to get by with 35 watts, you will be severely limited as to material choice and playback volume at anything that comes close to "real". I'm a big fan of Avalon and I think the Indra will be a great choice as long a... | |
| Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3 Hello,In response to Atmasphere's post....I just wanted to point out that I heard the A-S MA-2 amps with both analog and digital front ends, both of which are considered by the audiophile community to be at the very top of their game. It was the s... | |
| Atma-Sphere S-30 MK3 Hello Audiograils,Whew! I was beginning to think I was the only one out there who heard the same thing as you concerning the Atma-Sphere amps. My experience was in particular with the latest generation A-S MA2 amps. Yes, I also found the treble at... | |
| Best lines in a song Hello Sfar,What a great song! ... the whole album!!!! Even though the album credits her I wouldn't be at all surprised if Tom Waits did write, or help write some of the lyrics throughout the entire album. I'm aware that he was a mentor to RLJ. For... | |
| Best amps 15000$ for Avalon Indra Hello Timnaim,May I recommend an audition of the BAT 150se mono-blocks. I'm using them with Eidolon Diamonds and the sound is just magic. I think you can find them used in the 9k-10k range.I wish you well in your search.Best,Tom | |

| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Hi Detlof,Glad to hear and that you are enjoying music!Best,Tom | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Hello Lewm,Thanks for the research and posting a response. I'm sorry if you got the impression from this thread that I own the Atma's. To be clear, I do not. I came awfully close though!However, I was fortunate enough to have spent time hearing th... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Hello Detlof,Thanks for the kind and respectful response. It's nice to be able to discuss the audible differences we discern in components, agree or disagree, still have fun and learn from each others experience. BTW ... Hilary Hahn smokes!!!I hav... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Hello Pubul57,My observations are made only about the Atma-Sphere MA-2 amps as I have not heard any of their preamps.The reason why I wouldn't want a component that adds pleasant distortions is .... in my experience I find they mask other timbrel/... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Hello Tim,Thanks for the contribution and insightful comments to this thread. Is it possible for you to characterise your experience with the Atma amps before, during (break-in) and after when the sound finally settled? IMO I do hear the Atma amps... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Rush, I could be wrong but I strongly suspect that for me the unnatural treble characteristics and slight thinness in tonal textures that I hear can be attributed to the V-cap, no matter how long they break in. I'm learning time after time there i... |
