I own Atma-sphere MA1 amps (12-tube w/upgrades)--fantastic sounding amps (purchased on A-gon). Merlin VSM MM are my speakers of choice (an outstanding bargain!) and listen only to vinyl (Hagerman Trumpet phono pre--another great sounding piece).
I have used several lower cost preamps but am currently using the AES DJH Super Preamp (a Cary product). With NOS tubes this thing sounds terrific. Yes, I'd like a MP3 or especially a MP1, but that requires a little more cash that I can swing at this time. Maybe when my kids get out of college they will buy their old man a MP1!
The DJH is sometimes offered on A-gon or you can call Kevin at Upscale Audio (I purchased mine there).
Feel free to email me at [email protected] for more info.
