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.
Actually your assumption is baseless as there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that lower power equates to higher quality. In fact, the AGD amp, the only GaN amp you mention that we actually have any performance data on, performs demonstrably worse than higher output class d amps from other manufacturers. |

jerryg123, There is just one verson of AGD (assuming you heard the latest 2nd version) and only one version of the Atmas.......but there are tons of versions of the Purifi based amps and they all sound different from each other. So, which version (which discrete op amp, which regulators, dual mono or single power supply, quality of output jacks, etc.) by what company did you hear? As I mentioned before you can read on 10 Audio.com that my modded $1600 Purifi based VTV amp was preferred greatly to a NAD amp with a stock Purifi...... There is also a newer higher powered module from Purifi that has been for sale for some months now and it is supposed to sound better than the original......yet, they both are PURIFI modules.......again, what did you hear? |
