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.

My reply today is for anyone who may not be totally impressed with Ralph's GaN amps. I don't have them, but I do own a GaN amp (MSRP $3000) for about a year. I have been powering it with a Chinese counterfeit Odin 2 PC and connected from my dac/pre with a Odin 2 XLR. My transport is a Audiolab 6000 (IMO, it is a much better trans than some say, and likely because of their cable choices) with a fake Odin Gold PC. For a couple months I have been thinking about switching them, which I finally did last night. WOW! Today I am ordering another Odin Gold

hth

It sounds like the cables are better than the amps?🤣

Maybe someone should send the counterfeit Odin 2 to Ralph and have it evaluated on the amp?

@holmz  go back to ASR where you wear the badge of honor as a super donor. With you extension cord cables.

You guys are like herpes just wont go away. And no I do not have personal experience.

@juanmanuelfangioii Easy there sport. No need to go on an ASR attack.

I am a not Donor, much less a super donor.

 

This thread about Atmasphere amps, and Ralph would likely be the best person to opine on the power cord with his amps.

If I was not seriously considering these atmasphere amps I would probably not be as interested in hearing Ralph’s comments.

^This^ is like me asking questions on how a power cord can work, and people say “Try it and see,” or “one has to experience it”… How can you comment on the Herpes with having it?

But what if Ralph said, these cords work, or measure better, on my amps?
That would be germane to the amps and interesting to hear.

 

Maybe we should ask @atmasphere ? And avoid descending into extension cords, which have nothing to do the power cords on these amps...
