@pstores, You're fine. Nice post on a very interesting piece of gear.
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 can’t wait for your precise and articulate tribute. In full knowledge that you may only change one variable between comparisons, all other things being held constant. This will invariably involve comparing components that are not technically equivalent. |
@pstores, congratulations on your purchase! I've had my pair for ~ 2.5 months now, and leave them on 24/7; it is amazing how cool they run (like barely warm at all, unlike my other amp which is a Class A Pass). I might have 300 hrs of play time on them at most and think they likely have improved some over that time. I'm feeding them with a Meitner MA3 and Sim 740P, and they are most certainly not out of place. |
@ddafoe Which Pass amp do you have and how does it compare to the GaN amp? |
