The future of preamps

@ KngHiFi, Hi, Thanks, this is good to hear some success of useing tube preamps with some of the krell amps, I did have a bad exsperience once useing a tube source direct to amp, the source, as it turned out was emitting DC into the amp, thus throwing the amp into stand-by mode, I tested the source with a volt meter, yes, there the Dc was!, I am just tring to be careful here to not damage the amp in any kind of way, I also wanted you to know, I am a big fan of useing solid state amps with tube sources or preamps, I enjoy the tube magic, brings some musicality to my ears, instead of a two dimensional over resolving sound that I find strange that alot of people like, I do understand we all have our own preferances.

@ atmasphere, Hi, what is the Tube compliment to your M-1 preamplifier?, and how many?, and is the tubes in a buffer stage?, or the out-put stage?

@Audiolabyrinth, here is a link to Atma-Sphere's MP-1 webpage. You can see that he uses 6SN7's and 12AT7's by clicking on the 'Specifications' tab.

Knghifi,
Thanks for your reply. I recalled you and Grannyring have tried the Light speed in the past.

Audiolabyrinth,
If you get an opportunity to hear the Atma-Sphere MP-1 I think you'll be highly impressed, it's very good sounding.
