In Reply to: Who owns the 9000 series Atma-Sphere M-50/M-60? posted by Legendre on May 13, 2005 at 07:53:55:
Hey Bill, I think I’m one of your series 9000 serial numbers. Although I haven’t had the bottom plate off in a while, it has your ‘autograph’ and a brief history of the amps on there. I figure the Bill Layer Autograph Models (BLAM) will bring huge $$ on Antiques Road Show some day!! :) I bought my M60s on M50 chassis from you back in ’97??.They went back to Atma-Sphere once for transformer replacement and Mark has had them in a couple times as well. I think the last upgrade brought them to M60 Mk 2.2 or thereabouts. I’ve swapped out the champagne front panels for black and converted to 12SN7s for the input/driver tubes but otherwise they’re pretty much as-built and continue to do their thing on a daily basis.
These amps got me off the merry-go-round of component changes and combined with my MP1 has kept me content for going on 10 years…a virtual lifetime in audiophile years. I’m hope to get one of my nephews interested enough to take over the system some day, so you may get a call for service help on the BLAM in the years to come.
Best regards,
Ray
