This is great feedback. I agree with a lot of the comments here. They both certainly do things extremely different. That said, I will do a Momentum HD preamp shoot out with both monos and see what the outcome will be.
For now, what I can say is that I certainly feel that the Gryphon is on another level. I never have to struggle with it. I don’t have to get all fancy trying all sorts of stuff to make it song nice. It just DOES and that is something I can’t say about many other amps. I think the parasound needs help such as powercords, a great preamp, etc to make the amp sound better. I believe the highs on the JC1 are a tad grainy or less "feathery" than say the momentum s250, luxman and simaudio 860v2.
I can’t tell if it is that they still need more playtime or if it is that they just don’t have the highs I am accustomed to. More to come |
First:
There is no class d amp that I have personally owned that beats my Gryphon...let me get that out of the way.
Second:
I don’t need to keep the price high for my gryphon or any amp. If you must know, or if anyone must know, the Gryphon is sold...and yet it is still here in my possession. I do not need to play the stock market game to drive the price high and then sell ( I don’t know the term for that).
I am not a salesman because I actually own all of my stuff. I can easily list it and it will sell. There’s ways a buyer so I don’t worry. |
Ricevs:
WHAT TRUTH are you trying to tell?
I'm trying to level with what you're saying but I am having a hard time. Don't take anything personal. It is conversation but notice I don't come out of the woods until I need to. |
Yes Xlf coming in multiple pieces.
|
Ok. Let's leave things alone. I will do a 3 way shootout soon. Please don't ask me which is which because I want for people to hear the differences and select without knowing which is which. |
Did you hear the essence as well ? |
i have not heard any direct comparisons unfortunately. i have not even seen the essence in person.
If this serves anyone as a point of reference, this is what i understand about the the 3 top gryphon amps:
Antileon(evo, signature, original antileon) very tube-like analog sound. It does not have the lowest floor noise out of the 3 top amps. A little warmer sounding, but with awesome resolution nonetheless.
Colosseum: Less floor noise than Antileon. More "lively" feeling to the music and not dark as the Antileon. It adds more resolution in general than the antileon (although some say the antileon evo is a new beast now).
Mephisto: Faster sounding than Antileon and Colosseum. Monstrous bass control that easily separates all low end frequencies to the point that you can almost hear the different "HZ" of the bass lines. More resolution than Antileon and Colosseum. It closes the "holes" int the presentation that might exist in the Colosseum and Antileon (if you can find these holes of course). ONE MILLION MICROFARADS of capacitance. what does this mean? it means it has more capacitance than FIVE (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT) five parasound JC1+ MONOBLOCKS COMBINED.
Hope this helps. |
Video tonight in about 30 min:
Momentum HD preamp
With
Parasound jc1+
Merrill Audio element 118s
I will not say what is playing until later this week. Choose your preferred sound. |
Fyi: the DB was 78 on both presentations. |
Good feedback. Let’s wait for the rest to chime in. Again, the differences between this video and the previous were:
-Preamp (Dag on this one )
-I recorded at 78db on this one instead of 83db which is what I did on the last video.
-I also added a different song on this video in the beginning of each presentation |
some people are looking for a system they can enjoy and what i outlined above would probably be something that most people would love. I detest speakers that are warm, dull, boring, slow, lethargic. There are many brands that sound like that to me such as Sonus Faber Amati Futura for instance.... Of course there is another speaker brand that comes to mind that i still wonder why people find it nice sounding when not only does it look aesthetically ugly, but it just does not really make me jump out of my seat? yes i have heard it before too... however, to each their own and i gotta respect people’s choices.
The only reason why Fyne audio has not taken off is because it is relatively a new company, but even as new as it is, it is already stumping on some brands that have been doing this for a long time.
|
alright Ricevs: i think it is time to school you a little. Please grab your paper and pen and take notes: (i will do this one time only and no more will be heard about this from me) here is ONE of the specs of the mephisto: -Eight 56,000 microFarad capacitors with low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) for a total capacity of 448,000 microFarad/100V smoothes the voltage to the output supply. - Next Go to this image: http://www.theaudiobeat.com/news/pics/gryphon_mephisto_inside_large.jpg Next: Count the brown capacitors that are mentioned above. Do you see EIGHT PER SIDE? that means 8 per channel. So how much is that total? Close to a million microfarads rights? Are you taking notes? Ok then let me continue. In case you HAVE NEVER NOTICED, any time you have ANY STEREO AMP say for instance that it has 100,000 microfarads per channel, this means that the mono version will have TWICE the capacitance because it is using both channels. You can easily see this if you look closely at the specs of the essence amplifier and compare the mono version vs the stereo version. Unfortunately, that is a typo on Gryphon's part and on the distributors part. They failed to mention that the specs on the mephisto stereo when it comes to capacitance are about PER CHANNEL. Now, you can go on and take a seat again and let the show continue. thanks |
I’ve got the vac 450 monos which by the way I have not even heard with my master vac preamp yet. Yes, I’ve been so busy that I’ve yet to hear my full vac set up. I’ve been spending a ton of time with the other amps. I also recently purchased a simaudio 860v2 again and working on a few other amps. More things to come soon including my best of 2021 video.
|
i had the pleasure to hear the Fyne Audio F1-12 and to be honest with you, i was blown the hell away by them. They sound so CLEAR, BIG, WIDE, and have some of the best " you are there" presentation i have heard before.
I won’t say much other than they killed the $60k speaker i heard right after. I had SERIOUSLY considered buying the Fyne Audio F1-12 speaker as a replacement speaker because i couldn’t believe how amazing it sounded. I actually told Mike to do the Essence Gryphon (before he even had it) with the Fyne Audios and he was blown away once he heard this recommendation in his store. I knew that combo would work fantastic for him and i am glad he listened :)
If you were to ask me, this system would work AMAZING:
ARC REF6SE
FYNE AUDIO F1’12 (or the model just below it)
Gryphon Essence stereo amp
Chord Dave/ DCS Bartok
Wireworld Platinum speaker cables
That system above, WITHOUT EVEN HEARING IT EXACTLY AS I OUTLINED IT would put a ton of systems to shame. If you are thinking of putting a system together that WORKS and that will give you tremendous clarity, musicality, detail, liveliness then do the above and i promise you that you won’t look back.
My hard head just likes to make things complicated, but if i had to build a system with my eyes closed without spending as much money as i have, that is what i would do WITHOUT A QUESTION.
HELL...maybe that is the speaker i have coming :) |
None at this time... I might bring home some McIntosh 901 monos at some point though... |
On my way to listen to the Gryphon essence. Stay tuned .. |
|
This has totally gone beyond my wildest dreams. I am out of words right now with this amplifier. Incredible isn’t even a word that does it justice. The sheer force, rumble, chairs vibrate, and other amps now seem to sound like receivers...not kidding...
Let me get off my cloud and I'll be able to put down my thoughts better. I am on cloud 9 right now |
|
@lowtubes
If that comment is meant for me, then great. I am glad you have buddies you can do this with. I am a one man operation and I am quite happy with how much I’ve learned without reading some of the garbage that is published often times. |
I'm going to make a statement here BEFORE I START TO TALK ABOUT THE MEPHISTO in the future:
A mephisto is a F22 Raptor that takes off and quickly hits 1500 mph. It doesn't give a $hit about you being nauseous, or if your blood pressure drops or if you can not handle the acceleration or if you pass out because you don't have enough oxygen in your brain. This amp is about brutal delivery, quickness, and pushing the boundaries with massive effortless power.
If you are the kind that would much rather fly in a private jet, sitting on recliners, drinking champagne while you eat sweet grapes then stay away from the mephisto. You need to stick to tubes and leave this amp for us big boys. |
Colosseum builds you a pretty house made out of wood or drywall.... Mephisto builds it out of brick and cement...
Colosseum is Robin and Mephisto Is Batman.
|
A couple of things:
1. The video was recorded at around 88db. Louder than usual - this way you can get a sense of the power, delivery, immediacy and sheer force.
2. You are also listening to an Alexia 2 which are more powerful sounding than DAW
3. Alexia isn't broken in yet.
4. Mephisto needs to go on a stand which will be the same I used on the momentum.
5. This amp sounds waaaaay different than almost every amp I've owned. Don't expect the same sound because it doesn't sound the same.
6. You can't make a .50 caliber machine gun sound off the same way as a 9mm does.
I am having the most fun ever with the Mephisto. It pisses me off one second and then it blows me away.
It doesn't sound like the Colosseum either (more to come on this)
|
Can't talk about the Evo. I heard it's killer. I almost bought it myself but the stars aligned for a mephisto.
Only thing I warn you about, it wont forgive you with crappy components or recordings. I suspect the antileon is more forgiving.
|
I plan on trying the ref6se soon with the mephisto BUT I have to be honest about something: Mephisto with a tube preamp - for some reason - makes me feel like it's a step backwards. Here is why: you pay big money for the mephisto's ability to dig up more resolution than your average amp. It is an x-ray machine in many ways so using a tube preamp with it means you now lose the nuances, the minute details and information retrieval that you are paying for with the mephisto but that a tube preamp doesn't really do ? Think about it...you take 3 steps forward in terms of detail and resolution by going with mephisto and then you're going to take 2 steps back by going with a tube preamp and lose all that extra Information? Kinda doesn't make sense in my head... |
Techno,
I believe you are starting to put a rope around your neck again.
First, WHY are you even thinking I’m fooling YOU specifically when this level of gear is leaps and bounds ahead of the McIntosh pre, Dynaudio speakers and luxman 900u you own ?
Would a Ferrari salesman try to "fool" a Volkswagen buyer when he knows he won’t be buying a Ferrari ? Why would he waste energy doing so ?
Secondly, as I’ve said it many times, you actually think I got a line of people outside waiting to buy the mephisto or Alexia or pass labs xs300? How is that sale working out for the distributor who’s selling the coliseum on here ? Wow it’s still there even at 40% off of MSRP?
That’s because buyers for this kind of gear don’t come around everyday.
Thirdly, you actually think I gain ANYTHING from expressing my comments about the mephisto? What would that be ? Because MOST who read my thread have explicitly told me they can’t afford it so then WHY would I spend MORE money into gear that is THAT MUCH HARDER TO SELL? why not just stick to simaudio, parasound, McIntosh etc and pump those up in here so I can sell more ? Do you see what I’m saying ?
Lastly, wdf do you mean by snobbily?
You want me to just play the equipment and cover it with blankets or stick in a closet so that nobody can see it while it is playing music ? Part of the damn REASON anyone buys a Momentum, mephisto, or an expensive speaker is to DISPLAY in his room.
|
Choose which cable do you prefer:
OCD Mikey's Verrastar or one of mine?
|
Then you just corrected me about what I thought about Evo. Thank you for that.
I almost bought it... I was one day away from paying for the antileon evo and then the call came in for the mephisto and well the rest is history.
I have recorded several videos of the essence Amplifier driving different speakers. Stay tuned for that. |
$60k for the stereo and $120k for the Monos (or close to it )
It is one of the most tightly controlled brands. I’ve seen letters from the distributor where they are warning dealers that if they discount, they are terminated. Most of the diablo 300s you see on the used market are typically from dealers who took it on trade and 9/10 these aren’t dealers for the brand.
When it comes to the power amps, current amps such as antileon evo stereo and mephisto stereo have never been listed here. (U.S. models)
If you buy any Gryphon from Europe and import it, the U.S. Distributor (on a higher note) will give zero support nor approve any sort of work with their domestic service centers even if you are willing to pay for the service. This means that if let’s say you grab a pair of gryphon amps from Europe (220v) and they break , you must ship them back them to Denmark because you won’t get able to get original parts here since any ORIGINAL part that you need for it has to be approved by the distributor.
I know ALOT of folks who wait for a used current Gryphon to show up hoping for a deal (hell I was one) and you have higher chances of the coronavirus vaccine to be available than a U.S. gryphon power amp (current model) show up on the used market.
However, this is no different than what some retails brands do such as Louis Vuitton. Do you ever see a sale at their store during Christmas or holidays or black Friday ? Lol. Never. You either got the dough to buy that $2,000-$3000 dollar purse or you don’t.
My buddy’s girlfriend manages one of the largest Louis Vuitton stores in Chicago and she said that she (THE MANAGER OF THE STORE) only gets $3,000 dollars worth of total discount a year to use in the store and her sales associate can only do one item per year at a discount. Then I asked her , what the hell happens to the inventory that doesn’t sell and goes out of style ? She said they ship it back to France where it gets recycled and destroyed...
Yep...next time you see a lady with those Louis Vuitton shoes with red platforms remember those shoes are over $1,000 dollars and either her or her sugga daddy paid that.
Getting back to Gryphon, the line itself doesn’t exactly move or fly off the shelves for dealers (mainly the big boy amps) because yes it is expensive. This is what makes it HARDER for any used Gryphon amplifier product to show up used. (there isn’t an over abundance domestically).
Once that Colosseum listed online is gone, the market will be dry for a year or two before you see anything else (obviously there is always that one special case that one unexpectedly shows up, but it is not something repetitive like an audio Research preamp or McIntosh mc611 or 1.2kw, bryston amp, etc that are ALWAYS available online. )
I sold my Coliseum and didn't list it.
If you want to try Gryphon, that Coliseum listed is as good as it gets right now. Else, $39,000 for an antileon evo stereo or $60k for a mephisto stereo.
|
Tonight's video:
See the before and after room correction results and I also go over the top 10 myths in audio!!
Don't miss it ! |
there are a couple of things i need to say ( which i already addressed above):
1. the volume was LOUDER than usual
2. the alexia 2 speakers provide HZ that the Daw can’t come close to matching or dare to try. This is why you hear some people add subs to their sasha. You have never heard of anyone using subs with the alexia right?
3. The gryphon mephisto, when it comes to bass, pounds the woofers. It is as if a full-grown horse is kicking your back from behind as opposed to a pony.
4. i am only in the beginning phases of my new speakers and amp. I have moved the speakers around since my last video and spread them out a little more.
Top 5 Things i need to do over the next few weeks:
1. Try different powercord combinations from what i have here. i need to see where i need to use my powercords for maximum performance (which component should have which powercord)
2. Buy a stand for my Mephisto
3. Buy more cable lifters so i can get the odin 1 speaker cables and powercords off the floor
4. Keep breaking in the alexia 2 more and more before i continue to do significant changes on the positioning of the speakers since their bass, mids, and highs will change over the next couple of hundred hours. Might be better to let them sit where they are and just keep bombarding them with juice for a few more weeks.
5. After sufficient burn-in, i will begin to play with the adjustment of the modules (mids and highs) in order to fine tune things and do the final positioning.
That is the order in which i will be doing things.
A couple of side notes:
-Mephisto is far more transparent than the Colosseum.
-Colosseum is easier to live with and dial in. It sounds good with just about every type of song you play through it, but BEFORE SOMEONE BEGINS to twist my words, THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT SOUNDS BETTER
-Mephisto has a feeling of "intensity" to its tonality that seems more on "steroids" throughout the entire frequency range.
-Mephisto does not seem to run nearly as hot as any pass labs amplifier i have ever owned (16.8, 350.8)
- Two Jc1+ monos put out more heat than the mephisto does
|
Video being uploaded as i type this. I will be talking about the Fyne Audio, Vivid Audio and Gryphon Essence that i had the pleasure to hear over at Suncoast Audio. Stay tuned
PS: i have videos of the Gryphon Essence driving the $140k Estelon Forza speakers, Fyne Audio F1-12 and they will be coming out throughout the week. |
@pokey77
Interesting about the Alexia 2 with subs. I gotta tell ya, in my room it feels as if i have subwoofers playing. The bass is incredible and deep DEEP. I guess it all depends on the room to be honest, but for most people i can’t see why they would want more bass.
I wanted to add a few more impressions from listening today for about 4 hours at about 80db
1. Either the Mephisto or the Alexia 2 have easily shown me that stilpoints under the Momentum HD preamp were adding some brightness to the presentation.
2. I can hear more bass come out of some songs on High Res QoBuZ than if i play the same exact song on MQA on Tidal. That said, MQA seems to have more decay, a tad more information than the High Res version of QoBuz
3. Using Nordost Odin 1 PCs on the DCS dac/clock makes the presentation 2-3 times clearer, more resolved than if i use Audioquest Hurricane, but sometimes there is "bite" depending on the song and/or volume level.
4. I have an easier time detecting system changes with this Alexia 2/Mephisto combo than any other system i have owned. It feels as if i am now capable to tell you "hey, this cable has less bass than this other cable" or "this cable has less resolution, nuance, etc" than this other one. It feels easier to tell without having to try HARD AS HELL which is what i had to do sometimes with my most recent speakers.
5. Those damn stupid filters on the DCS dac don’t do a damn thing
6. The "dither" buttons on the DCS clock are now "alive" for the first time. i did not think they did a damn thing, but now i can hear that they feel like they "recondition" the music or "reconstruct it".
7. FOR SURE, the Colosseum is more forgiving than the Mephisto. NO QUESTION, NO IFS OR BUTS.
8. On the Mephisto, bad recordings sound like bad recordings on steroids (worse than on the Colosseum)
9. You can buy a Colosseum, bring it home, and it will play nice with the rest of your components. It will try to make the best music possible within its limitations of course
10. If you bring a Mephisto home, it will tell you "your floor is dirty, it stinks in here, this room & cable sucks ass" and it will NOTICE EVERYTHING you own. It does not give a damn. For instance, it just easily allowed me to hear how inferior an Audioquest Hurricane PC is on the dac when compared to Odin 1 PC.
The mephisto/alexia 2 combo in my opinion seems to be more balanced/resolved than if i had the sasha daw/mephisto.
Here is why: if i had the DAW, i am sure i would still have bass and possibly more bass if matched with Mephisto than it did with Colosseum, BUT i could never reach the depths or the true potential of the bass control of the mephisto because the DAW did not dig as deep as the Alexia 2.
I feel like the Mephisto is too much amp for the Sasha DAW. It would be like having a car that can go 220 mph, but you don’t have enough open space to reach 220mph. You run out of road before you get to 220mph.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE, the Colosseum is the perfect partner for the Sasha and the Mephisto mates with the Alexia and above. That said, this does not mean the Colosseum won't work with the Alexia (it does).
|
@abedirov
There is nothing to be afraid of. It will still make your speakers sing but just be ready to round out the rest of your system. You can’t buy a $500 steak and wash it down with a $5 glass of wine. It is all relative.
I will say that after I heard the mephisto yesterday for about 6 hours straight, I went back to the Merrill 118s with Momentum preamp and I am STILL in disbelief by what I hear with those class d amps.
Honest truth, without bs, or lies, if I had to do it all again and was looking for a great sound with my Wilson Alexia 2, I’d keep the element 118s and REF6SE and sell off the rest. This doesn’t mean the mephisto or the coliseum or Momentum dont things better because they do, but element 118s with REF6SE give you SO MUCH JOY that you won’t really cry that you don’t own the big leagues of amplification. The law of diminishing returns is A REAL thing.
Granted, to be fair , I am using nordost Odin 1 speaker cables , Valhalla 2 xlr and audioquest dragon HC and a Momentum HD preamp on the Merrill. I’m not using average stuff with them but what they bring me to the table is something that makes me scratch my head and make me wonder why spend far more money ? This sounds ridiculously good.
Why do you think I haven’t listed the Merrill audio yet....but I listed the parasound jc1+....
Only thing I’ll say is to please PLEASE remember the Merrill will need a great supporting cast to make them morph tremendously. You gotta spend the money around then to hear what they are capable of.
I went to bed last night thinking that I might have to begin to find the perfect preamp for the mephisto because right now I like what I hear with the momentum HD (awesome sound) but I feel that amp has more tricks up its sleeve and I can’t hear them yet.
Remember, I said it many times, anytime you bring a new component home, sometimes it means you now have to redo some other areas of your system. For example, new cables or powercords etc to help elevate that component. That is what really sucks about changing gear. Very few times are you ever only able to swap out a component and leave the rest the same.
|
No matter how bad i want to try to do this, i can't seem to get good results. I have tried it for the 3rd time and i still fail.
I'll disclose what it is that I'm referring to on a future video. |
A couple of things:
@thieliste
i agree with your statement above. It becomes a mission to find system synergy, but once you find it, it becomes spectacular and intoxicating in many aspects.
@speedbump
yes i agree that NOT ALL AMPS are designed to sound good with every speaker. For instance, i can totally vouch for the Element 118s and Wilson Audio Synergy. It is incredible how well they pair together, but yes the Mephisto might possibly be an amp that can force more speakers to sound better than most other amps out there.
@keithr
I am thinking of other preamp options, but as @thieliste said, at this level my friend there are not like a ton of options to chase. Here are preamps i have thought about:
Constellation Altair 2
CH Precision
Gryphon Pandora
EMM LABS (DAC AS A PREAM)
Block Audio Preamp
Ayre KXR TWENTY (YET AGAIN)
Pass labs xs maybe ?
That is one HELL OF AN EXPENSIVE preamp selection and the reality is i would go through hell to locate most on that list. For now, i will keep driving with Momentum HD because it is incredible and until i am 100% convinced it can be dethroned, then why sell it?
Anyhow, i have just ordered a Critical Mass Stand for the Mephisto. 3-4 weeks until i see it. |
I haven't yet...will probably do at some point. |
Bass- I don't think that I've had more control in the bass department than mephisto. The king prior to it was the Colosseum and I don't think it has more balls than mephisto since there is a huge power discrepancy in person... |
@rsf507
They are 15a PCs on the mephisto. |
Those are the inferior component out of ayre...not good...no grip or balls. Their preamp is the star of the show. |
@goodsource.
Don’t forget I owned the Alexia 1 before the DAW...I already had a reference point when I got to the DAW. The scale of the Alexia is one step higher than Daw. This scale includes the bass and massive bottom end.
I believe Carey owns Alexia 2 as well and he came from the DAW. That said, the Daw is amazing in many ways but in rooms that are too tall or deep, the DAW has no muscle there.
|
Well, I just spent 5 hours moving the speakers around the room.
I made vast improvement and ended up with the Alexia being about one full foot farther away from me so I am now 11 feet away from them and they are 9 feet apart. The sound is HUGE, wide, smoother and the bass only hits when it should. There is no doubt that Wilson takes HARD WORK to set up. Having owned many other speakers, Wilson is hands down the hardest one to set up properly, but once you do...LOOKOUT!
They are still breaking in fyi so I am sure they will move a little more from their new position. With all that said, now it takes more power to open them up because they are farther away from me but I am glad I don’t have power shortages :)
No mephisto playtime today fyi. I have had the Merrill audio 118s on all day and night burning in the speakers.
Very soon we will begin to try the ARC REF6SE on the amps. I anticipate having about 150 hours of playtime on the speakers by Saturday night but they probably need around 400-500 at a minimum. Saturday could be a preliminary run but by the end of the month the Alexia should be right at around 500 hours which is when we will go full throttle. More to come !
|
tonights video will be about answering some of the questions i have been getting on youtube. Stay tuned for that. I also talk about Mcintosh and my opinion of the brand. You won't want to miss it! |
I don't disagree with people's personal choices when it comes to speakers because it is about WHAT YOU HEAR and sounds BEST to YOU.
That said, having owned a lot of different speaker brands, i have always been impressed by the Wilson "jump" factor. It has huge dynamics that very few speakers have. When you dial in a Wilson Audio speaker properly, it is incredible, BUT it really REALLY needs the right room.
As far as looks, that is also subjective, BUT it certainly does not have the wife approval factor. I will not deny it, but neither does the b&w.
I am a panel person at heart if i am being honest, but panels are HUGE and take up so much room so i understand why some people don't want to deal with them.
Lastly, and as a FYI, it does not break my heart if people hate Wilson Audio for one reason or another. I am not married to it so those comments really go right over my head. Today i have Wilson and Magnepan and next thing you know i have Fyne Audio, Vivid Audio (again), etc. |
Keep in mind, you are talking about a speaker you haven’t personally owned or lived with. This is why I am very clear when I give an opinion about any component (wether I’ve owned it or not).
|
Merrill Audio Element 118s with ARC REF6SE (67 HRS OF PLAYTIME) and Alexia 2 (approx 100 hrs of playtime) video is now uploaded.
I am highly impressed by the element 118s and Wilson synergy and this is NOT EVEN broken in.
Ps: i gave the mephisto the rest of the month off. |
@techno..
Any chance you can hang out with the crew that owns electric cars? i personally prefer gold ol’ american muscle. YES i get off on thinking what it must feel like to drive a 1700 HP twin turbo V10 Dodge Viper ACR. I rather live ONE DAY AS A LION than 1,000 days as a sheep. Just my .02 cts.
Let us big boys enjoy getting 8 mpg, 227 mph top speeds, 7 sec 1/4 mile runs. We can handle it. |
@chayro
I do sit and listen to music behind the scenes. For instance, that video I uploaded last night was after I was listening to music for several hours and I thought it sounded so good that I needed to share it with you all.
I believe the component or brand that has lasted the longest with me has been DCS, Wireworld and Nordost.
@viber...
Car analogies have a message which is the fact that I do like big power, big weights , I actually enjoy the heavyweight division of the UFC more than the stupid fly weight division. I watch the world strongest competition. I like big SUVs, I despise mini coopers, Teslas, VW beetles, because I am 6’1, 267 lbs and would look stupid coming out of any of those cars.
The other day I was watching the movie TOP GUN and I drooled at the speed and sound of those fighter jets. I immediately googled how much those planes cost for curiosity ($35 million) and found out that the operating costs to fly those planes is $8,000 dollars per hour and that no civilian can own one. The point I’m trying to make is my nature leans towards what I have outlined above.
Delicacy and simplicity comes at a certain point in life but right now and at my age I simply don’t want to live that way. I want to feel the damn monstrous power, speed, or extremes of anything I can own or afford. Eventually, as I age, I won't be able to move heavy amps, or drive fast cars where I can't get in and out of etc. That time will come for me but it is not now.
|
I am actually THE ONLY ONE showing what new tech is doing AKA MERRILL AUDIO 118S. so I’m not sure WHAT you are referring to. I don’t see other people showing a damn thing or doing what I am doing with Merrill audio and the arc ref6se. Point me or send me a link of anyone doing this. I will sit and wait for it. Should I hold my breath too ?
You might want to go read the comments on my YouTube channel about night's video. |
Aint no fine tuning with any of my connections. You get fine tuning at full msrp. No dealer is going to break their backs setting up anything unless you are paying top dollar. |
