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’d suggest not questioning or addressing kurobo on this thread… let’s keep on track for/about Ralph’s amp. 
 

Guess we need to stop feeding the 👹

Sad that most of you realize this so late when I said that few pages ago.

I find it interesting that Ralph is predicting the eventual demise of tubed power amps. Aside from the supply chain issues and embargos with Russia I think they will be around for quite some time. Now I do like some of the newer class D amps including Ralphs. I think that the goal has been to get as close to the sound of a tubed amplifier with more efficiency and reduced cost. I recall reading an interview of that Bruno P fella and he said as much. 

Wish there were more GaN integrated though. Trying to cut back on boxes. 

Ralph has a winner as do Orchard and AGD. 

Has supply started to catch up with demand? What is the normal wait time for these amps? Are Atma-Sphere dealers likely to have them in stock? 

Thanks,

Great question, I do not think many dealers are keeping much stock anymore. The last few years it seems that you had to wait for an appliance to come in from the distributor. Even pre pandemic I can remember having to wait a week or two.
