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.

I have the remote now, but considering downgrading to the manual volume if there is a lot to gain in terms of sound quality.

@veerossi @armstrod If there's a difference its pretty slight. I've not noticed it.

@armstrod and @atmasphere

 

Thank you both for chiming-in! You just saved me from a big headache, inconvenience, and money.

Sorry, Sir, but your statement is wrong. The semiconductor industry invests $'000 million yearly in application-specific optimization of MOSFET products (Si, GaN, or SiC). So, as a simple anecdotal example (and I am embarrassed to write this basic one), while your light switch belongs to the category of light switch, you can't use it to turn on a high-voltage circuit or a high-current device. It still amazes me to see how high the level of misinformation is and how profound the lack of knowledge on a specific technical and scientific subject is, yet still not enough as a barrier to prevent one from making baseless generic statements and trying to pass them as true.

@atmasphere

Ralph, I am sorry to intervene again; your statement is wrong. I understand the decades of experience in Vaccum Tubes and amplifiers based on that technology; I know and respect your knowledge in that field,  but please do not make statements that are so generic and fundamentally incorrect on the specific.

There is not "a batch with low output capacitance" behind what we do; it is not a trick or lucky result; it is a real device explicitly designed to perform at best in a Class-D application, and no, of course not, it is not just the "output capacitance" that makes it ideal. I understand you are trying to pass a GaN System circuit as state of the art; business is business, I understand that too,  but please DO NOT COMMENT with an inaccurate and disarming simplistic statement about what we do, what we use, why we do it and how we use the component of the power stage of the AGD 100% designed amps. We will appreciate highly the courtesy. And again, if you wish to talk and understand more about how a GaN MOSFET, like every power semiconductor device, is an APPLICATION-SPECIFIC technology product, call.

Thanks
