Atma-Sphere MP-1 Mk3.1 [Template]

This listing is for the Atma-Sphere MP-1 MK3.1. The condition is closer to the definition of "excellent" than "very good" but I'm being conservative. 
The previous (original) owner spent loads of money on this pre-amp! He re-tubed it with the "holy grail" of phono tubes and line-stage tubes ( Telefunken ECC 801s for Phono and Sylvania Chrome domes for the line section at a cost of over $3000). I replaced two of the Sylvania SN7s, which got noisy, with JJs - all tubes test strong on my Hickock 539 and are very quiet. This MP-1also has the Vcap Upgrade in the Phono and line sections, the IR volume control upgrade, and the Anti Vibration upgrade (see the photo of the interior for the excellent build and the blue vibration damping material).
This might be the best tube preamp available, see a review of the Mk 3 at http://www.soundstagenetwork.com/revequip/atmasphere_mp1iii.htm. After years of using tube equipment I am reluctantly reducing my tube inventory.
