ATC P1 amplifier
Let me share my experience with my new ATC P1 Amplifier
LLong story short, i looked for a good amplifier, not too expensive to drive my AN-J speakers and i decided to go with an ATC P1 Amplifier recommended by stereophile. There not a lot of information on the Audiogon Forum, so i decided to share my experience with you.
I received the P1 one week ago. The cabling between the preamp and the amp is a long distance unbalanced cable (50 Ft). I precise here, that the cables between the Preamp and Amp was also brand new.
Impression after after 100 hours
Sound test just after cabling the system : horrible (no Bass, super cold, no soundstage, ect….)
After 20 hours : Bass appears but very tiny, still no soundstage.
After 40 hours : Bass continue to grow, soundstage appears, sound begin to be more smooth
After 60 hours : Bass is here but not deep. I decide to change the position of the AN-J (very close to the back wall). Sound Better.
After 100 hours : Bass is more deep but don't start before 125 hz, it's probably a speaker limitation. Soundstage is more and more open and deep, sound is crystal clear in high frequency, smooth and super details.
To be continue....
