Stereophile review of Airtight ATM1s

Post by Ivor »

Indulge me. It's rare any of my hifi bits & bobs get reviewed in the mainstream media so I got kinda excited when the last issue of Stereophile covered my beloved Airtight amp. It's a bit like looking at porn and thinking "I've had her". I think.

I've recently swapped the EL34s for Gold Lion KT77's. I think there's a filthy joke to be found there too but I'll leave it to others.
