PWD - with network bridge board.
Atma-Sphere MA-1 mk3.1
140 watts of Triode Power, fully balanced monoblock design with V-cap upgrade. OTL- No transformers to get in the way of the music. Notice the point to point wiring featured under the chassis of this unit, which actually was routed much neater on their older chassis, but they went to this design to fit into a standard equipment rack. Even before I fired these up for the first time I just had take a look under the hood and snap this pic. You can see the 38 beautifully glowing tubes in the system pics.
Atma-Sphere MP-1 Mk3.1 Remote Volume
All tube Preamp now with remote volume. So much depth and harmonic richness. Beautiful build quality.
Stealth Audio Hyperphono
Hyperphono phono cable
Starsound Technologies Sistrum SP-1
Sitting under Raven One turntable- a very nice improvement.
Acoustic System Resonators various
I have 6 in total, from basic to silver to gold special. SInce i have limited space, the only acoustical treatment I have are Roomtune Corner tunes and these Resonators. They actually do work.
Oyaide AC receptacles and Plug P-004 and R-1
Beryllium plated AC plug and outlet made a big difference over stock outlets and Hubbel plug. I have two more R-1's that have to go in a quad box to replace Powerports. (which should be interesting to see if there is an improvement)
Very nice system. Thank you for having me over. The TADs sound amazing. Definitely a world class system. Cant wait till you finish sorting out the room treatments & analogue setup.
Your post on a Strainguage coming has me very curious. Would love to know how you like it once set. Are you keeping your Phantom & Tron 7? I would love to hear it once it settles in. I heard it briefly in the Munich show. It sounded promising w. caveats, but it wasn't working 100%. Got to love the blue light. YOu are taking a wonderful direction with your spending well thought out. I have a feeling your audible ROI is higher than most of us out there.
