Gumby vs Yggy

treynolds155 OP7 posts12-28-2017 5:52amSorry, thought Gumby implied multibit. I’ve read several reviews comparing the Arcam as being very close to the Gungnir ds so I was actually thinking they mislabeled this as a Gumby.

From what I've read, you've still not cleared up if you got the standard Delta Sigma Gumby, at $849usd or paid extra for the upgraded R2R Multibit Gumby at $1249usd

If you got the standard $849 Gumby, then yes the Yaggy will blow it away, if you got the $1249 Gumby the Yaggy will still be better but not as much.

+1 to georgehifi's comments, treynolds...

Glad George asked for clarification on which Gungnir you have.
 
Sorry, thought Gumby implied multi bit.  
Based on that earlier reply gdhal, I think you do but am not completely certain.  

Having lived with the Gungnir for a couple of years before sending it in for the MB mod, I was very surprised by the transformation it produced.  Some of the better $ spent.  As an owner then, I'm interested in the experience of others.   

gdhal, no offense at all, was just teasing ;-) sorry if it came across as anything but!!

The Gungnir I bought was multibit, most refer to this model as the Gumby. I think I'm going to pop the cover off to verify what board is inside. The tiny sticker on back does say it's multibit but there really is no way to tell from the outside.

I popped the cover and it's got the correct multibit board in there.

Okay...got it. Your Gungnir does have MB.
Any idea how many hours you have on it now?
I do recall mine (as originally purchased without MB) took a long time to "open up". Then, since I did the MB upgrade well after first getting the Gungnir, I had the benefit of experiencing before and after sound from it. There was a very marked difference.
Sorry you are underwhelmed. Maybe with more time it will start to sound better.
