Is there an official answer whether or not it’s ok to leave the atma-sphere class d amps on 24/7?
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.

I do have a question that, hopefully, @atmasphere Ralph might be able to answer: I was watching a YouTube video from REL about connecting their subs to class D monoblocks. They recommend connecting their red wire to the amp’s positive speaker post and the black wire to chassis...not the negative speaker post. I’d prefer to hear from you if this is how it should be connected or if you recommend something different? @docroasty In case you’re looking for ideas- here’s a pic of the setup I made for mine (that are on the ground) The braces are 3D printed and the wood it’s stained solid 1 1/2" thick walnut (to match my Tannoy’s). The aluminum feet have rubber rings in the bottoms. I’m happy with the way it all came out. Here’s a link with a pic.

@docroasty Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I can make another one to sell to you, but we will need to discuss the details. Please DM me if you are interested. |
Glad to hear you went for them @jaymark. It’s been just over 8 months since I’ve had mine and still loving them. Not missing my old tube integrated at all. I’d highly recommend the Atma-Sphere MP3.3 preamp as well. |
Has anybody had the experience with the Atma-Sphere MP3 preamp- going from manual volume control to remote volume control? I want to know what kind of difference in sound quality. I've already tube rolled it and it sounds great. Upgraded power cable definitely made a nice improvement as well. A SR purple fuse made a nice difference as well. Mine already has the v-cap package. Looking to squeeze all I can out of this preamp. I have the remote now, but considering downgrading to the manual volume if there is a lot to gain in terms of sound quality. |
