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.

No reason to drop him a line or to go to another forum. His amp is the topic of discussion in this thread and he has participated. No reason to not direct questions regarding his product in a thread about his amp to him here. But thanks for the suggestion.

Possibly, or maybe avoids answering their questions. Hard to say, isn’t it? Maybe letting him speak for himself rather than speculating or making unsupported assumptions would be the prudent course to take.

Here is another class D amp that will be really good when it hits the street (in two to three months):

The New DIY amp from Hypex called the Nilai 500 DIY.  This is Hypex's latest module and will be available for DIY only.  The measurements are as good as it gets and makes Kuribo drool....he he

The modules are $350 each and the new power supply for it is $250.  Mono block kits (including chassis and all hardware and wiring) will be $850 each plus paypal, duty and shipping.....so less than $2K delivered.  Anyone with a screwdriver and soldering gun can have them up and working in a few hours.  A stereo amp will be $1225 plus paypal, shipping and duty.

There is an thread on ASR for those that want to know more.  Completely discrete front end circuit and completely discrete built in regulators.  Good Wima caps on the output filter.  500 watts into 4 ohms.

Another Class D winner!  How will this less than half price thing sound against the Atmasphere?
