It is not my desire to belittle your line-stage or choice of line-stage. It's just that the Atma-Sphere's line-stage has some relatively unique advantages over most all other line-stages, IMHO.The Atma-Sphere line-stage uses a 6SN7 differential pair with CCS. In IMHO, the 6SN7 is about as good as it gets for line-stage sonics. It exhibits less noise so the music enjoys a quieter background. The Atma-Sphere preamp also uses a 6SN7 based circlotron output buffer, which allows it to drive just about anything, without a coupling capacitor. I won't go off into a discussion of why no coupling capacitor is superior. I'm sure you already know this well. It's balanced output allows you to drive an M-60 differentially, which can all but remove the sonic behavior of your interconnects.
