The Audio Valve is a very good valve amp and the Atma-Sphere is OTL, with the right speaker, has no "sound".

Thomas is right. AtmaSphere amps have a certain purity that I have not encountered in other amps.

Could you describe the difference between the two, I see that you own the Atma-Sphere. Maybe you can describ it for me. I have heard the Baldur, the only valve amp I have audition so far. To me it seemed to have good Bass, amazing detailed midrange, actually ,I had never heared anything like it, being SS. I seemed like it had very good PRAT. appreciate your comments
