Atma-Sphere Mp-1 mk III

Can any one share their experience demoing or partnering the Atma-Sphere Mp-1 mk III with solid state amps? Thanks in advance.

The match is excellent. The preamp also worked extremely well with Belles 150A Reference amps. Frankly, I can't imagine any solid state amps that would not work extremely well with an MP-1 preamp.

Admittedly, I also experienced larger volume jumps than I would have preferred. My Lamm L2 Reference does a better job in this regard. I experienced absolutely no hum running my MP-1 balanced with the Pass Labs XA-60.5. Sometimes hum is caused by a bad tube, FWIW.
