Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Today I picked up my Atma-Sphere Class D Amps. These aren’t broken in yet. And they are simply amazing. I’ve listen to a lot of High End Class D. Some that cost many times what Atma-Sphere Class D costs. I wasn’t a fan of any of them. But these amps are amazing. I really expected to hate them. So my expectations were low. The Details are of what I’ve never heard from any other amps. They are extremely neutral. To say the realism is is extremely good is a gross understatement. They are so transparent it’s scary. These amps just grab you and suck you into the music. After I live with them some and get them broken in. And do some comparisons to some other high end Amps Solid State, Tubes and Class D’s, also in other systems I’ll do a more comprehensive review. But for now, these are simply amazing amps.. Congrats to Ralph and his team. You guys nailed on these.
I’m not the one making claims about a product you’ve never seen or heard. I don’t doubt that in your experience with the gear you’ve had at hand that your experience is valid. With that said, I get mild indigestion when some hop on a thread to pontificate when they have absolutely no experience with the topic. Just because you’ve rolled op-amps on some class d amps doesn’t make you qualified to discuss and suggest modifications to an amplifier with which you have no qualifications or experience.
This thread was about Atmasphere class d amps...it was not a casting call. If you had posted to a thread entitled "Let’s discuss modifications you’ve made to pedestrian class d amplifiers that made improvements" I assure you I would have perused your comments and moved on. I dont own and never have owned any Atmasphere gear, I don’t know Ralph other than through the scores of truly helpful posts here on Audiogon.
I figured you would double down on your position...but let’s agree to disagree...you believe your opinion on Ralph’s new amplifiers and whether you could improve upon the design is relevant...I do not. |
@ghasley +1 on all your posts. @atmasphere Ralph, I haven't heard your amps ,best wishes for success with them. You are always a gentleman on any thread and once again so in your responses on this one. Always look forward to your insights and learning from your background and knowledge. |

While I agree with many of your points, consider that ALL aftermarket improvements to engines/suspensions... happened because of DIYers who had the intellect to see the shortcomings in the OEM design and the ability to improve on them, as opposed to starting from scratch. Many eventually became OEM over time |
