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.

@lloydc  The AGD TEmpo di Gan is also 100W into 8 ohms, and the Audions are 85W into 8 ohms.  Alongside Ralph's monoblocks, also 100W into 8 ohms, that tells me something about quality over quantity.

@kuribo Make an effort! Between Ralph’s refutation of ricevs’s pointless proposed modifications, and the Cook’s Tour of the inside of the amp that he gives in the San Francisco video (posted somewhere above), there’s plenty of technical information out there. If you can’t accept that they sound good without seeing a suite of measurements, then you’re in the wrong forum--try ASR for size.

~ a happy AGD owner (OMG! also no measurements).

@noske I was referring to independent measurements, such as those performed by John Atkinson for Stereophile. Should have made that clearer.

Unfortunately, "Job" is already taken as an amplifier name.

(And that's pronounced with a long o.)

This really is rich.  First we have ricevs telling Ralph how to redesign his amps, and now kuribo has a go.

Meanwhile, Ralph is model of restraint and superhuman patience.
