Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing

And this is a truth.  I am such a one, for a variety of reasons.  I am also careful to consider measurements (defined widely) for a component's attributes, again, for a number of reasons.

Me too @noske - my tube preamp has the 2nd at -75dB the 3rd at -90, and the 5th at -110dB.
My old preamp was predominantly 2nd harmonic.

My latest power amp is not too dissimilar - just a bit higher…
And the older tube amps predated Stereophile’s use of the AP test gear.

So they all look like what Ralph is describing, just we cannot see it.

@fsonicsmith

Let me be clear, Ralph never asked me to post anything. I also am a huge fan of Pass Labs, Coincidence, VAC, as well as others. I was very surprised that I really like these Class D’s. As I have posted a long list of others that has been in my system that I didn’t like. And when comparing them in my system with other amps. They exceed my expectations. In fact they have exceeded many peoples expectations that have been to my house. I’ll be posting my impressions of the Aqua LaScala DAC. But I’ll be alittle more careful how I word it. As not to start with what happened in this thread. But I can say…. These amps are very very good. And don’t do anything poorly. They are definitely the best Class D that I’ve had in my system. JMHO

You should continue to post your thoughts and listening impressions as you experience them. This is an open audio topic forum and most folks come here to learn, share and discover. When you come across an excellent sounding product, you want to make others aware. Nothing wrong with that.

I have certainly done the same over the years on this forum. A few examples, Coincident components/speakers, Ocelia cables and Lavricables, Pro-Ject RS2T CD transport etc. I want to share these wonderful discoveries/experiences with fellow music lovers looking for terrific audio products. Audiogon is a great resource.

Exactly Charles.  I read these threads to find out what people think about how something sounds.  Yes that persons opinion. I could care less about what they look like on paper.  I can close my eyes and tell you what something sounds like.  Try telling me what they look like on paper with your eyes closed.

Pstores please keep the impressions and comparisons coming.

@pstores please keep posting as these amplifiers come into their own. Ignore the naysayers and measurement nuts.
