Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing

So, what you are saying is: Your purpose here is to make sure everyone knows that what I say cannot be trusted"? Wow, that is a very high purpose. Your soul must be celebrating. So, what wares am I peddling with my post?

You can test FOR YOURSELF....what I say.....by trying it in your system....and see if you hear any difference or not. Of course, if you do listening tests with total prejudice then you will never hear anything. If you live in the bay area you can come over to my house and I will demonstrate things that will blow your mind to kingdom come. Are you open to learning? Or do you want to just say the same things over and over?

Since you do not listen to the things I state....then you have no knowledge....plain and simple.....you just have a thought that what I say is wrong......but you will not test it yourself....sad.....so easily tested.

The thousands of audiophiles all over the world that listen to wires, fuses, jacks, etc......are LIVING PROOF that these things are real.  What proof (listening tests) do you have that what they all say is wrong?  Please share.

So what you are saying must be that you have listened to the new Class D amplifiers from Atmasphere, you have tried the modifications you suggested in these amps and you have identified each of your mods as improvements? You state that op-amps "upgrades" in the Atmasphere will improve things but Ralph clearly stated that his circuit is different so the differences in op-amps are moot, the speaker cable pigtail idea is potentially dangerous and not appropriate in a professionally built product offered to the public for sale and your glue the transformer hack seems kindof semi-permanent let alone goofy.

I’m not saying your tweaks don’t work in pedestrian gear (Topping? The amps you build?) but Ralph stated that your suggestions are not material improvements in his design.

Of course, if you do listening tests with total prejudice then you will never hear anything.

True, as is the converse, which you are living proof of: if you do listening tests with total prejudice then you will hear everything. 

Who are you to say what I have and haven't tried, tested, and listened to? You haven't a clue.

Plenty of people have tried a lot of goofy things- some swear they hear a difference, others swear they can't. This isn't proof positive that what you claim is "truth" in a real, objective way. There have been plenty of bona fide scientific tests of cables, etc., etc., and most results show no differences. Of course then people like you like to jump in with "you aren't measuring the right things!" or "it can't be measured!". What if the differences are actually not in the article being tested but in the listener's head? The simplest explanation is usually the correct one and when modern science which can measure just about anything to levels beyond human cognizance, the far more likely explanation to why some people can hear a difference and others can't is simply that perceptions differ between people. There are a list of reasons why this can be that have been rigorously tested. All you offer is "trust me, it's TRUE"! Sorry, that's religion, and I don't need a profiteering guru to tell me what I can and can't hear.

The tweaks I suggest are universal.....every amp in every price category would improve it's sound to the same degree (assuming they are made like the Atmas). this includes the op amps......it does not matter how much feedback or how much gain is being used.....the sonic signature remains.......this will always be so.....everything has a sound.

The speaker cable plastic clampy thang is not dangerous.....you can mount the plastic hardware on something and no metal is exposed. I’ve always liked Goofy.....one of my favs. Check out the speaker ideas page on my website and you will see some plastic speaker wire clamps mounted on an external xover. Perfectly safe.

What Ralph believes is what he believes......only truth is truth.....you have to listen to know what is true in audio.......What you believe is what you believe......it is best to BE LIVE.......and that means LISTEN......then you will KNOW.

Shall we get back to listening impressions of the amp?

Will anyone try the steel removal and let us know? Be bold.....go where no one else would go.....do it for the gipper or your mother, or God or for YOU.

BE, LIVE, LISTEN, KNOW......and while you are at it....LOVE and JOY!

What little credibility you might have once had is now gone. You have basically just said Ralph doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to op amps in his own design. You've never heard it and yet you imply that he didn't hear what he heard after YEARS of development on the product.

I predict you will delete your posts in this thread OR you are so falsely arrogant about what you think you know that you will double down. #zerocredibility
