Atma-Sphere MP-1 and MP-3 comparison


Hello,
I know this topic has been spoke of before, but after reading the various brief and vague posts, I have been left wanting...

So I employ those who have directly compared/contrasted the Atma-Sphere MP1 and MP3 preamps. Please give a review of what you liked and disliked, what you heard and how you would describe it; primarily focussing on what you found similar and dissimilar directly between the two.

Of course, we understand the MP1 is the senior, but how close (or not) does the MP3 come...

Thanks

I am interested in the results of this quest as it is very similar to my own. Please post any results you may find.
Thanks,
Mike
Their's probably only a handful of people in the world who have had a chance to hear the MP1/MP3 side by side in the same system in a meaningful evaluation. Ralph Karsten of Atma-sphere for sure,maybe some of his dealers and perhaps an audiophile or two. Would definately contact Ralph Karsten who will give you very straight foward, honest advice and opinion without bias.
I've owned an mp3 for approx. 8 years and I think it offers an awful lot within its price range.
