I too am a class D convert after many years and many amps. It is really hard to say if they are better than class A A/B because of everything has changed along the way, speakers, preamps, DAC’s cables etc. I still love tubes and will probably always have a tube pre with a tube regulated power supply, a professional (recordings studio DAC / Streamer) and class D Amps because of sound, weight and heat. In summary class D with ultra fast switching (GaN) is pretty good. Good enough to pay attention too. I own AGD and don’t plan to change any time soon. They just work and sound great and should not be ignored when looking at amps.
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.
