Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
  All Bel Canto made from 2012 on.  A few of the current higher end Peachtree.  Purifi, Crown, NAD, Hegal and 7 others I don’t remember which. All were the top tier of their offerings. Most 2020 and newer. 2021 was a big listening year.  Other...

snapsc,     Yes to all. When the guys came over. We played several pieces that highlights each of the instrument's that you mention and more. As I mentioned before the Realism and True to the Instruments is incredible. The Amps like my MA-1’s jus...

  Pretty simple…. I’ve had alot of Class D’s in my system. I havent liked any of them till these.     ghdprentice 3,144 posts 09-02-2022 at 07:33pm  You bought a pair of amps expecting to hate them? Strange approach to putting together a...

  I’ve put together a pretty good system. I’ve tried a ton of Class D. I’ve never found one that I liked. Or would be close enough to my MA-1’s for summer listening.      ghdprentice 3,144 posts 09-02-2022 at 07:33pm  You bought a pair of ...

  Just heard back from the guy that had brought it over last month. Yes it was the GaN 400….. One I heard last year was the Nova 500.  Neither were as good as the Atma-Sphere Class D.  Will for the fun of it put them side by side in both systems.   
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Well I can say Peachtree when in a quality system you’ll hear the pitfalls of them.  The more revealing system the more pitfalls you’ll see. They are a dry,  lifeless Amp. Lacks in details and is very fatiguing. They won’t even be close to Atma-Sp... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
So IMHO, after some in depth listening today so far. I switched back to my MA-1’s. I do prefer the MA-1’s. I like the attack and decay of the MA-1’s better. I like the depth and fullness of acoustic instruments better.  It’s a warmer presentation ...

HGEIFMAN, I can give it a try with my Bel Canto DAC tomorrow. It has a linestage preamp built in.

Tinear123, I can’t wait to heard your impressions. I always love to hear what others think. And post the system you’re listening to them in.   
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
 Specs in many cases don’t mean best sonic characters. I’ve learned being in this hobby for 45 years that you don’t listen to specs. You listen to the sonic qualities of the amps. I am 57, and have been very fortunate to listen, own and have many ...

Jerryg123, Marco1, you will not be disappointed in these in the least bit. I’ve got a few hours of hardcore listening time now. But, these  are truly world class as with Ralph’s OTL’s and preamps. I’d say if you like the M-60’s or Pass XA .8 and .... 
Amplifier recommendation
Atma-See here Class D May suprise you in very good way.   
NEED TO REPLACE OLD FAITHFUL- WHICH AMP. SHOUD I CHOOSE
I’d look closely at the Atma-Sphere Class D. They are simply amazing.
