     This is is a home-brew/kit amplifier made by Frits Donker Duyvis. Based on the M-60 MkII seen at Atma-Sphere's www site, Fritz did a great job at building his dream. Proof that you don't necessarily have to buy what you want in prebuilt form. Simply build it yourself :-{)+ ! The M-60 MKII uses is a balanced differential output transformerless design. Running in Class A using eight 6AS7 output tubes and four 6SN7 driver tubes it achieves 60 wpc. at 8 ohms. To quote Fritz "Despite classic appearance, the state of the art in thermonic audio amplifiers (!?). This (my) sample was built from a kit." Looks to me like he did a great job! Keep up the awesome work dude!

Atma-Sphere M-60 MK. II Amplifier
Did Moses ever part the OTL sea?
  Next came Ralph Karsten with the highly regarded Atma-Sphere M-60 MK II OTL amplifier available in pre-built or kit form.   These 60 wpc. monoblocks are said to be capable of not only musical grace but also very dynamic music reproduction.  It uses eight 6AS7G tubes for output and four 6SN7 for the driver stage.  Each monoblock weighs about 30 lbs.  A few friends of mine own these babies and seem to be very happy.  Ralph not only played the usual "audiophile" music, he also played Madonna too.  Right on Ralph!
