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.

@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.

No I am running Cullen Cables Power Cord. Hope this doesn’t open up a can of worms…. I use them on everything.

No it is all good. I appreciate your post.

I just assume that it doesn’t matter a whole lot, and it seemed like it would be good to have in here.

 

If people like their off the shelf Hypex or Purifi based class d amps then they need not look for a superior sounding amplifier.

He did state that he likes Purifi and Hypex, and that they also have published specs and graphs.
So I do not think it is out of line to ask for the graphs.

Being a fanboi of those brand does not automatically exclude one from liking, for instance, Atmasphere or Benchmark. It seemed more like “he has no objective proof that he should like them,” which if that is really what he means, then I cannot find a cogent argument to oppose that view. And I like them without an objective and rational reason to do so.

And let’s be a bit realistic here; we are talking about the best in Class-D…all of which are very good by most standards whetherb they are objective or (unsighted) subjective.

It is not like being about as good a Purifi and Hypex, as good, or a bit better, is very different… they are all very modern amplifiers showing the best of the topology.

and I thought that @pstores posted that he had also tried Purifi and either Hypex or Benchmark, so I am sure that the graphs are likely nothing to be embarrassed about.
