    Atma-Sphere MA-2 Amplifier

    Does the MA-2 amplifier have a switch so it goes half power, shutting down half of the tubes? This could make less heat when listening to simple low volume music. I know the MA-3 has that feature which turns off one block of tubes.

This would also apply...

    Ongaku - Is it worth the money!!

    Have you been able to compare the Shinguru to the Gaku-on? Should just be more powerful but same basic circuit. What speakers are you using and does it provide you with more than enough power without clipping and no need to consider Gaku-on?
