Thanks agdproduction I'll have to see if my dealer can get one in for evaluation. I've been waiting over 3 months for the Atmasphere amp and each time they say it's almost ready another 3 - 4 weeks go by and nothing.
Competitive class D amp suggestions
I have been Class D fun since a few years ago when i bought my first class D amp. I like the concept, in general, and all the attractive features of this class of amplifiers. I tried 4 different ones, currently i stayed with one of them that i consider to be the best among all four amps. I do enjoy and like it. At the same time, my 5 watts SET amplifier (with more than 100 times higher distortion according to the specs) gives more natural and (surprisingly) notably cleaner sound (THD of the class D amp is 0.001). The soundstage of the class D amp is not so bad but that of the tube one is still better.
I remain attracted by class D amps though.
Any fresh suggestions on reasonably priced class D amps (i mean excluding non-reasonably priced class D amps, e.g., Merrill amplifiers)?
Any comments on non-reasonably priced class D amps are also welcome (so far i was not able to audition many class D amps and am curious if there are some which could really compete with Class A).

The T+A A200 Class D (Purifi) also looks interesting. https://www.ta-hifi.de/en/audiosystems/series-200/a-200-power-amplifier/

for sound quality among class d/gan fet amps, for me it is agd - one and done bargain seekers may look at other less costly models if they are on the hunt for better value... but that would be the reason for the hunt, not sound quality... imho caveat -- i have not yet heard ralph’s new amp which seems to a head to head competitor to alberto’s... |
