I do the same @mrdecibel for the same reasons.
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.

@milpai That probably depends on the tube preamp. I don't leave any of my equipment on all the time, except my DAC. |
More people using these amps over here too https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/atma-sphere-class-d-mono-blocks.34493/ |
My tube-pre mutes for ~90 seconds on power up and mutes, with a few seconds of delay, before powering off. The whole “leave it on” stuff is something I hear about all the time, but have never experienced as a sonic bloom of rainbows and unicorns.
But I do leave on the Ayiama and NAD gear that is doing HT… mostly because it is easier for the Haus-boss. And I would have no issue leaving on the Atmasphere Class-D for convenience sake, but I would not be doing it for sonic benefits. |
