Atma-Sphere in CO?

I'm looking to listen to one of Ralph's amps.  I'm in Denver and have Coincident PREs and a pair of Coincident's wonderful 300b Frankenstein's if anyone's interested in doing a comparison.  Obviously the speakers won't travel, but I'd be willing to pack up the amps and do some driving.

Will probably catch AS at RMAF, but would also love to do a home based A/B comparison...

@brownsfan & @atmasphere great, thanks for the information. I'll do some checking, swap out some of the 6sn7s for some nos ones I've got around, and do some more listening tonight.

How does the dynamics compare from the M60 to the 300B?

On the DIY Forum someone changed the Vcaps to another brand i forgot. The sound was tonally warmer.

@phantom_av Unfortunately it's been too long for me to give any reliable information.

I've transitioned to simple source follower amplification (first watt f4 mono-blocks, only adding current to the signal) and focus on getting the warmth from my preamp (Don Sachs 6sn7).

That combination is remarkably beautiful with great tonality and an amazingly holographic soundstage.
