Hmmm: https://10audio.com/atma-sphere_class-d/
Any idea what happened there?
Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis
Anyone here know anyone that might know if something like this may be available before year end. I am currently ampless, beginning to suffer withdrawls…wishing for Pass Labs to release an XA30.8 like powered amp, split into 2/3 scale monoblocks with xs or xa or ?? designator with Balanced Input.
XA60.8 is the logical choice if nothing shows up this year, but until I pull the trigger, alien monoblocks could distract me, for instance Valvet A4.5, from getting what I truly desire.
The current XA30.8 is the dream split into a modern Pass Labs monoblock.
FW is too focused and limiting to consider.
Anyone know of this possibility on the horizion for an XA30.88

Any idea what happened there? @antigrunge2 Sure- its the result of a vendetta. Take a look: https://www.audioasylum.com/forums/critics/messages/9/99823.html With established, respectable reviewers you get something different (scroll down for the reviews). IMO any serious audiophile should avoid 10Audio if they don't want to waste their time; this has been true the last 25 years. |
Just a thought, but for $200 or $300 you could get well-reviewed Fosi or Aiyima amps that would let you listen to music immediately. Then you could take your time finding your ultimate solution. And when you do, you can easily resell the cheap amps and get a fair percentage of your purchase price back, or just throw them in the closet as an emergency back-up. |
