The future of preamps

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?

@ charles1dad, Thanks, listening to the m-1 is #1 on my priority list of auditions of preamps, will you elaborate on the m-1's sound, please?, thankyou.

@ jmcgrogan2, Hi, opps, I see the tube compliment now, still need the other questions answered, wow!, thats alot of tubes!, 18 tubes!, I do not believe I have seen this many in a preamp before, hey, is this the tube 6sn7's you and pops rave about, of being the big sound of tubes? and, are the 12at7 tubes similair to the 12au7 and 12ax7 tubes that I do like?,thanks john.

@ charles1dad, Hi, Did you see how many tubes the m-1 has?, If its as clear sounding as it is made out to be, I would not want to go thru the exspense of tube rolling all those tubes, LOL!, for what reason would I do that if the preamp has the spookey clarity its claimed to have?, dude, thats a boat load of funds to tube roll this baby to the quality tubes of my choice if it was needed?, I had a tube source componet that was an ayon one time, and the tube choice that I wanted was $1,200.00 for 4 tubes!, LOL!, No, I did not get the tubes, but you get the point?
