I was wondering about the Atari thing too. I read it last night and pondered then thought that Atari were a big company they must have had a pro-audio division at some point in the dim and distant.
But it was just a typo...

System Update
Hi all been a while so just thought I would post a couple of pics of the present system not that much has changed
I am working on a new hifi rack which is remarkably similar to the podium rack on the left I have only done 2 tiers but it has worked out well so far
The next change for me will be an 821 pre amp that I am working on as it has a little more gain than my B4 which helps with my Phono playback again that's not finished yet but making nice music in its present part finished state.
Ill post a build thread f both these projects when I finish them
I still have the R2R fettish
