PHONO PREAMP

Btw,atmaphere amp sucks: its output impedance is so high that only speaker has reasonable punch driven by those type of otl amps is eletrostatic speaker. Furthermore ,even after extentive mod, atmaphere amps longtail differential driver stage is too weak (guess which tube number is the dtiver tube :)).

The world is your oyster my friend - you have a brilliant choice out there:
for tubes:
1. Tron
2. Thoress
3. Aesthetix
4. Manley Steelhead
that's just four

Solid State:
1. Whest Reference
2. Tom Evans Groove Master
3. Moon Audio (not sure model name - but amazing SN ratio)
4. Pass LAbs
5. Van Den Hul (the grail I think)

you are gonna have to speak to dealers and ask if you can borrow one to plug into your system and listen for about a week or so. You are shelling out a lot of cash so enjoy the journey so to speak. If you have a lot of pre 70's records look for a stage with adjustable EQ.

This statement is outright false and is clearly trolling. Its also quite clear that the gentleman has no idea what he is talking about as the circuit he refers to does not exist in the amp.

As an example the most common speaker used with the M-60 was for many years the Merlin VSM, which is a 6 ohm loudspeaker.

Hi Ralph,

Best ignore that guy before he lures you into tainting a great thread as regrettably happened to me recently.

Best to you Ralph,
