Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing After about 6 months of owning both the Class D Monos and my Pass XA30.8, I've finally settled on an amp, and recently listed my Pass. I love the Pass but the two are so similar sounding to me, with a few minor weakness/strengths relative to ea... | |
new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today I've owned both the M3 and MA3. I sold the M3 after a few months but still own the MA3. Personally I find the MA3 another level up on the M3, it is also a lot more expensive too and I've experienced that the differences between DACs relativ... | |
CJ 140lm monos vs pass x350.8 If you can demo the AtmaSphere GaNFET monos, you might find that they hit that middle ground you are looking for. I had a X250.8 and replaced it with an XA30.8 after selling my power hungry Magicos. I found the XA30.8 had more of the ’midrange and... | |
Most underrated female recording artists.. Neko Case and Dar Williams Good picks!! I'll add Lori McKenna and two classics in Sandy Denny and Judee Sill. | |
Your last concert was to see who and when? Suede and Manic Street Preachers at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, a couple weeks ago. Two classic British bands that play in front of massive crowds in the UK but are hardly known in the USA. The Orpheum was maybe 1/2 full, but what a show!! ... | |
Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? DULL? - Hardly. You are in the very distinct minority, sir. …. there’s a big army out there that will immediately oppose your opinion. Since this is all personal perspective/tastes, there is also most likely an equal army out there that will n... | |
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System I replaced my EtherRegen (fiber into the A side) and LPS1.2 power supply with the following converter and an iFi power supply. I couldn't hear a difference after the switch. I purposely picked the StarTech just because it wasn't the cheapest (... | |
Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? I’ve been really interested in hearing the Perspectives for a while. Unfortunately depending on where you live JA doesn’t make it easy to hear them. I didn’t have a great experience with a local dealer (based out of his house) and out of state dea... | |
Amplifier Recommendation for Spendor D9.2 Speakers I have D9s and have used them with X250.8, XA30.8, Benchmark AHB2, Bryston 4B3, and AtmaSphere Class D monos. I've enjoyed them greatly with each amp, including the Benchmark which has a different sound signature than the others. My listening r... | |
DAC’s I own the MA3 and am very happy with it. I replaced a just slightly cheaper (MSRP wise) Mojo Audio R2R NOS DAC that I also really liked. I think the MA3 offers many of the same sound qualities as my Mojo did, and just takes a few of them furth... | |
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @fsonicsmith, have you ever heard the Devore Super Nines? I'm curious as to how they compare to the O series and the similar sized D7.2s. | |
Bryston 7Bcubed vs Mark Levinson @yyzsantabarbara, are you talking the ST series only, or have you also heard the Cubed series? I purchased a 4B3 a couple years ago to try against my Pass X250.8 and thought it to be just as refined and smooth as the more expensive Pass amp. I ... | |
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I had a photo of the inside of the amp that is the subject of this thread and commented that the parts could not justify the price. @fsonicsmith, how many other audiophile products (that many folks purchase and enjoy their sound) would this... | |
NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? What he did on the Atmasphere amplifier thread was just awful and mean spirited. @troidelover1499, 100% agree... | |
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing The facts as I see them are most here would like you (you know who you are) to stop blabbering. Yea, it is sad to see an enjoyable GaN related thread derailed yet again; this one didn't do much better: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/gan... |
