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.

Finally an opinion we can all (well mostly all) agree with.  Hopefully we can now shut this fool up.

I think @kuribo posted this:

I have said repeatedly that measurements are useful to me in evaluating products as far as engineering, performance, suitability in my system vis a vis other components, etc. are concerned. I have also said repeatedly that the ultimate arbiter is how the equipment sounds in my system in my room. Yet over and over I hear the comments about how "I learned 50 years ago that measurements have nothing to do with the sound", "measurements are useless in determining how something will sounds", "go to ASR", blah blah blah. I can not help but conclude that several posters here have a reading comprehension deficiency and/or a fear and lack of understanding of things numerical and technical.

Whether one listens like @pstores, or uses metrics and numbers like @kuribo , it us hard to argue that this amp doesn’t tick all the boxes.
(But I have not heard it myself.)

The designer of the amp is also a bit prone to measurements, and explaining things technically… so it is not like the designer is into alchemy and magic.

And most learned people would not likely argue that the designer is a fool, and that technical aspects of the amp are foolish.

Kuribo is nothing more than a high functioning troll. 
He's just messing with everyone. Ignore him.

All the best,

@soix 

because no one has any opinion or experience that are useful to him so why even bother?  Leave him to reading his spec sheets

I wouldn't say no one has an opinion or experience that I wouldn't find useful but I can say with confidence that none of yours would be of use.
