Cool. Or, even better +200 hours.
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 heard them at a show with the Big Classic Audio speakers that Atmasphere typically partners with at shows. I couldn’t find a fault. Then they switched to the Atmas tube amp and frankly I struggled to hear a difference. So there you go FWIW. Overall teh Atmasphere/Classic Audio room sound was teh best I had heard to-date compared to prior years where it was tube amps only. For a year or two prior, the sound came off too me as a little bright and somewhat fatiguing for whatever reason. THis was with tube amps only. Probably they adjusted better to acoustics the big conference room they were in each time. The room is usually manned by folks from Classic Audio, I believe. |
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. |
@tweak1 After seeing the ASR results of the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II, I wouldn't have much hope that Mytek can produce a good GaN amp. Heck, they failed at their main product - a DAC! |
