Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing

What about "Switching state" (class D) amplifier?

@juanmanuelfangioii , allow different points of view. Do you think that it would be better if everyone will repeat the same? It is good to have different opinions and some criticism. By the way, @kuribo never said that he does not like Atmosphere class d. 

Are there clear evidences of the superiority of one GaN amp over other GaN amps?

Concentrating just on GaN amps,  the observations made for Atmosphere GaN monos may well be applied to a number of other GaN amps. I honestly can see no proof of superiority except that I read a number of  subjective expressions. I readily believe that Atmosphere d amps sound wonderful, and would really like to know more on how much better are they than the other GaN amps. This thread, so far, didn't help me in this. Too many subjective points of view. I think it is not timely comparisons with tube stuff, SS can hardly give you the same lightness, 3 dimensionality and body. These are just two different concepts, you may like one more or the other. I like tube gear more but also enjoy in some degree class d, which i trust gives the best in SS.

@pstores , did you really made an ab comparison of Atmosphere class d with the Peachtree or Voyager, or some other GaN amp?

@pstores, the things similar to what you say about atmosphere class d amplifier was earlier declared in different threats in respect with the Peachtree GaN 400 and Voyager GaN 350 amplifiers, in particular. It is difficult to  visualize the extent of your observations without making a direct AB comparison with one of the above or other similar GaN amplifiers (these two are almost equivalent).  You mentioned about some Peachtree amplifiers that you had, but you didn't said if it was GaN 400 and if you did an AB comparison. That kind of report would really be useful.  Otherwise you are saying nothing particularly new. 

PS. Since SS cannot be, SW. S comes in mind

@atmasphere , I agree with that whenever SQ can be affected, but making thick chasis just to  protect the amp during the shipping seems to me unreasonable - just pack it well! 

I think what @kuribo says is very reasonable, and this is not something in  what he can have some personal interest. If you manage to lower the price of your product (without sacrificing SQ) , given its good or even outstanding sonic characteristics, your product will become much more competitive and you will be able to sell much more of them having higher overall gain, talking in pragmatic terms, unless you wish to have a product for a very selected amount of people. 

@jjss49, I am too far from electronics, but a common sense says that there may be something rational in some critical suggestions. Of course, someone like, you, better understanding the technical background, may really be true that such "suggestions" have no technical soundness. But, at least, I think that they do not harm. So, what is the point in the sarcastic notes?  

Well, if this is the case, yes...

@mglik , you may need more time to give a final judgement. Do you have now both, Atmasphere and AGD monos, which AGDs? 

The most transparent sound i have ever heard comes from my 5 watts SET tube amp. So i don't think that transparency is a distinguished feature of solid state amps. Do you perceive that AGDs are less harsh and more open? Thanks
