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 conundrum. I'm warming up to Class D. Actually, more the opposite as heat avoidance is the main reason for seeking out a Class D amp.

My problem is that I'm a keeper. I'm not a component every year type of guy. More like every decade.

So there's an obvious tension between getting the value oriented "giant killer" and the point of diminishing return "SOTA".

Value picking seems to be easier when applied to established technology. Class D amp tech seems to in an evolutionary trajectory.

Ralph's and a few other's SOTA are so tempting.

But will the saying that today's SOTA is tomorrow's **** apply to my Class D purchase? On the other hand,  life is short.
