The future of preamps


I still use one, but I wonder if their days are numbered. To those who have removed the preamp from their system, have there been any regrets? Anyone gone back to using a preamp after having removed it?

@ 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.
Charles,
@ Jmcgrogan2, Hi, I have been to the Atmasphere site and looked at the m-1 two box preamp, It does not reveal the tube compliment or how many tubes that I could see, nor does the site tell me if the tubes are in a buffer stage or the out-put stage, maybe Ralph or Almarg could help with this set of questions?
