Gryphon Mephisto

Hello boys and girls. Yesterday the Gryphon Mephisto arrived. Wow!! The unit will continue to open up due to it sitting for several months. It is a beast! With the flight case around 300LBS. The delivery guy and myself were grunting!! This is an impressive piece of gear. This was actually Jay's Mephisto. I have to send him kudos, his observations were spot on and very accurate. You sometimes hear people speak of sonic profiles or certain observations and wonder if its accurate. Again, he encapsulated the units profile perfectly. Incredible control! I have Joseph Audio Pearl 20/20's, Cardas Clear speaker cables, Furutech Power Cords, with Furutech Rhodium NCF Outlets, and Cardas Clear Beyond XLR. No pre in the chain. Directly from my Emm Labs DV2. I tried it with the Pre in the chain, I prefer it directly from the DV2. The low noise floor is the first observation. Detail, micro-detail, complete control over any speaker. Its incredibly fast. Bass is off the charts. Head-Room to spare. The unit itself is quiet, no white noise or any noise for that matter from the tweeter or mid-range.  My listening room is huge, 30X26X26H, I laugh when people say you don't need all that power with the JA 20/20's. Maybe not in a hotel room. With this massive amount of cubic feet, power is a huge denominator. I would be quite content with this unit for many years to come. However the Mephisto Solo's would be very interesting. No one knows where this obsession takes them. Double the current, everything the Stereo Unit does, the Solo's do even better (Hard To Imagine). IF I decide to go Solo's it wouldn't be until the end of this year or beginning of next. Stay tuned!
