New Side Panel and Top Cover System for MP-1 and MP-3 preamps
This is a three-piece system that replaces the single piece top cover on older preamps. Once installed the Side Panels are not removed. The top cover is then secured by six screws instead of eighteen! This makes the preamp easier to deal with if you are replacing tubes, it looks better and the heavier side panels provide better chassis damping. 320 for MP-3, 640 for a set for the MP-1.

I'm guessing the price is doubled for the MP1 vs the MP3 because of the 2-chassis construction of the former. In other words, you'd get 3-piece covers for both chassis. I'd like to see photos.

Lew - If you do a Google image search for Atma-Spmere MP-1 you will find some pictures that Brian Walsh posted that show the side panels...Ralph's MP-1 pic on the Atma website shows the top.

My MP-3 has the new top cover - it's very nice

Thanks. Is it physically thicker metal, compared to the old clamshell cover? Looks like it is.

side walls are a 1/4" think - very sturdy and solid

 

the covers are shown on the MP-1 on our site. nt, posted on May 8, 2017 at 10:35:48
