That’s not true these days consensus is now part of science.
A consensus doesn't mean it's rationale nor does it mean it's factual. If it's not based on fact it's just an opinion, regardless.
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
CLASS D AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED TO OUTPERFORM ALL OTHER TOPOLOGIES
The Amplifier is the New Class D Mono Amps using GaN Fets in a unique Patented
Circlotronic output stage…Design by Ralph Karsten of ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
Rated at 100 watts 8 ohms and 200 watts 4 ohms with low distortion across the full audio bandwidth with excellent noise characteristics
I have been using ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS MA-1 3.0 with all factory upgrades along with NOS 6NS7 Input Tubes for many years
The New ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D has outperformed my MA-1 3.0 in all areas…the resolution and transparency are simply an Amazing Accomplishment
Also I sold my MP-3 mk 3.0 and purchased the New MP-3 mk3.3
In my Audio opinion I believe the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS used with the MP-3 mk3.3 will offer one of the most transparent sounding electronics combinations to date…only using the MP-1 mk3.3 will offer more performance
I have used other High End Amplifiers in my system and the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS outperformed all of them as well

Science makes real progress by people taking contrarian views, taking on conventional wisdom Example 1: Ask the person who put forward the hypothesis that bacteria cause stomach ulcers. No one believed him until he infected himself and then cured himself. Example 2: quote from Nobel prize winning physicist Max Planck: “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”

I too heard these amplifiers at the Tampa show. When I entered the goldnote room I sat down in the sweetspot listened for a song a guy requested a few songs they didn't have and offered to let him hookup bluetooth. He did and we listened to 4 different songs then he had to leave. At the same time a different guy asked what the atmashere on the floor were? I never even saw them. The rep said they were the new class d amps and that's what we listened too. I asked how much they were. It shocked me because all of the class d I have heard I didn't like. ( I heard the agd twice at that show much the music wasn't in the the wheelhouse for me to make a determination of positive or negative. I stand neutral) it's the first atma-sphere product I have heard. I really liked the sound because I couldn't tell that it was a class d amp. I ended up ordering one. Up until that day I never believed that class d had arrived. I a have heard most of the major modules and a few smaller companies class d and although better than 20 years ago not good enough. My brother, for years has been telling me that class d was the way to go. But my ears hear the higher order distortions that I just don't like. It's the issue I have with all of the solid state amps I have owned. Although I don't have tubes I have heard many and prefer the sound of the dominant 2nd and 3rd order harmonics. This class d fooled me. Hopefully what I initially heard will remain true when I get it in my system. My advice is if you get a chance to hear one you should even if you are not a fan of class d.

Many class D amps go at or over 300WPC at 8 ohm. I wonder why this model goes only to 100WPC. I ask this question because, if I ever go for class D I will look for the power rating first and I will only consider 300WPC or more. I had ARC class D (T?) 150WPC amp before and it sound much weaker than my Plinius class A 125WPC amp. |
