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
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.

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. Charles |
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. |
I am not sure that is universal. One negative thing about the ASR testing, is that they only focus on SINAD, and I find a hissing amp to be pretty distressing, and would take some harmonic distortion over hissing. And then there is no weighting, like a discount for 2nd and 3rd harmonic, compared to all/any spray to the right… but the Audio Precision test equipment just kicks out a signal number. So I do not think that it is out of the question for Kurbio to ask for objective proof. Ralph has been talking about the distribution of the harmonics for a while, so to see it would be dandy way to objectively show some of what makes them sound good.. |
