| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I really don’t care what others think of the sound of these amps, regardless of how many owners praise them- there are probably billions of people who love ketchup and yet I am not a fan. I would like to learn more about the engineering and desig... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Can we please move the measurement vs perception distraction to another thread so we can focus on Atma-Sphere's new amp here. Can you please explain how exactly there can be any meaningful discussion of the new amp here regarding it's performan... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @pstores No doubt that will take it to 11! | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I’ll put money on that he can’t make an Atma-Sphere amp sound better There is no "better", only different, when it comes to subjective value judgments. No doubt the tweak guru could place Ralph's GaN amp on a pile of horse manure and someone wo... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Concentrating just on GaN amps, the observations made for Atmosphere GaN monos may well be applied to a number of other GaN amps. I honestly can see no proof of superiority except that I read a number of subjective expressions. I readily believe ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Real KNOWLEDGE in audio.......is how something sounds How something "sounds" is subjective, an opinion, not a fact, and thus not "real knowledge", which is something that has meaning beyond one's self. You can't seem to get beyond the simple t... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing there is NO common knowledge Wrong, there is a lot of common knowledge. There is no common opinion on what sounds "best" thus a market full of products of different designs, classes, power supplies etc. It's not a lack of knowledge but a wealth... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Why is the power supply not a switch mode? I see a large selection of supposedly well designed, medical grade SMPS, by Traco or Meanwell. Yet, I see class A or class D amps not using these. Why? Most class d amp makers do use smps. There are a ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing So your "mods", to the extent they make any difference, only improve the sound *relative to your opinion* - nothing remotely universal about it - because every mod you do moves the sound away from the intent of the designer. You are setting yours... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing The trick here is understanding that the measurements, if the correct ones are actually made, affect what you hear in a very direct way. Measurements are what they are-data-they don’t affect what anyone "hears" as they are read, not listened to... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing You have no idea what you are talking about since you have never listened to wires, fuses, etc No, it is you making assumptions about what I have and haven't listened to- you are the one with no idea. Wires, etc., do not have a "sound"- there ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing When we finally come up with a machine that measures the sound differences in wires, jacks, op amps, resistors, inductors, etc, into infinity....that will be nice Wires, jacks, etc. don’t emit sound. There are no sound differences in wires, jac... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing While I agree with many of your points, consider that ALL aftermarket improvements to engines/suspensions... There are improvements, then there are modifications to suit the end user. Improvements can be proven to actually improve the performan... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing The tweaks I suggest are universal.....every amp in every price category would improve it's sound to the same degree ....everything has a sound. One hand clapping... The guru's credo: "everything has a sound and I can hear everything...just tr... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Of course, if you do listening tests with total prejudice then you will never hear anything. True, as is the converse, which you are living proof of: if you do listening tests with total prejudice then you will hear everything. Who are you to... |
