Only if you are using more than 2 sources. The ATM1 has 2 inputs so can be used as a "sort of" integrated.

Tony, the amp is a Unison Research S2K (

I picked up a pair of Nanotech interconnects from Andy yesterday after a week of burning in. Admittedly a week is probably overkill but Andy was away and then I wasn't around to collect so it just worked out that way... it certainly won't do any harm.
As yet I've really only spent a few hours listening to these newly burnt-in cables but the improvements are both subtle and tangible. I already had huge detail in my system but following the burn in we're into levels of detail that are
almost distracting. There's also a clearer sense of air and space around the soundstage and better "speed" (for want of a better word). Listening to the system I felt the interconnect had been given the dyna-rod treatment... an audiophillic enema of sorts!
Given that most of us spend significant money on cables it makes sense to spend a few bob on getting those cables working to their full potential
