I think that if he wants to compete with the likes of Hypex and Purifi, he needs to publish measurements along the likes of the competition.
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
CLASS D AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED TO OUTPERFORM ALL OTHER TOPOLOGIES
The Amplifier is the New Class D Mono Amps using GaN Fets in a unique Patented
Circlotronic output stage…Design by Ralph Karsten of ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
Rated at 100 watts 8 ohms and 200 watts 4 ohms with low distortion across the full audio bandwidth with excellent noise characteristics
I have been using ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS MA-1 3.0 with all factory upgrades along with NOS 6NS7 Input Tubes for many years
The New ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D has outperformed my MA-1 3.0 in all areas…the resolution and transparency are simply an Amazing Accomplishment
Also I sold my MP-3 mk 3.0 and purchased the New MP-3 mk3.3
In my Audio opinion I believe the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS used with the MP-3 mk3.3 will offer one of the most transparent sounding electronics combinations to date…only using the MP-1 mk3.3 will offer more performance
I have used other High End Amplifiers in my system and the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS outperformed all of them as well

Don’t think so. His market is for people who REALLY listen and value how an amp SOUNDS and value his take on harmonic structure of the distortion versus super low standard measurements of distortion. All versions of Purifi and Hypex sound different from each other yet most measure the same. I have no doubt his amp will "sound better" than anyones Purifi....including my modded ones....of course, at a different price point. Some believe the measurements at ASR really mean something.....they do mean something....just not much in the way of how something sounds. Those guys do not listen so they have no idea if their measurements correlate to sound. Ralph has made state of the art tranformerless tube amps for years and his amps have been compared to other amps over and over....so he has a great reference for sound. ASR guys have no reference for sound....they just have some measuring tools. I am pretty sure Ralph won't send his amps to ASR to be measured. Maybe in a few years someone will send them their own pair and then you can whine about the fact that it does not measure as good in some ways as something.else. Meanwhile, those that have the amps will be grinning because of the beautiful sounds it makes. We all have different takes on things....vive la differance. Joy to you and everyone. |
@ricevs thans for the link - I did not find class-D yesterday. |
@ricevs you hit the nail on the head. The only similarity will be that they are D Class.
