Don't like vinyl
Excellent first post @kashani ….however when driving that restored car keep your eyes on the road to avoid the pothole. Not as easy with Vinyl...when you close your eyes to enjoy the music. Every once in a blue moon,  when that scratch is heard - ...

Atma-sphere Updates
Wow just saw this thread . Ralph and Atma-Sphere have been nothing but professional and insightful in their activities on A-GON. Someone is definitely mistaken about the company and their dedicated employees.

Don’t overlook a used  Atma-sphere UV-1 .  ~ $1250 It will warm up your SS amp . It is Simple and clean - oddly cool as well.
