| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Ozzy I didn't even realize you started the topic! Room treatment is also a good thing. Very difficult in my room. It's a log home with 6" thick logs. Its huge 30 X 26 X 26H, with an open loft. Head room is a must, hence the Mephisto. Seldom do I g... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! BTW, I agree with Ozzy. If you do as much listening as I do you can pick up changes in sonic delivery. Some systems are way more revealing than others. Difference in sound is not the same as changes in sonic detail. Why would anyone invests this ... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @ozzy Your earlier comment on getting foundational aspects in place is spot on. Proper wire, outlets, etc. Problem is when you change up gear the cable aspect can change. For me with Gryphon Mephisto/Pandora 2 cables each! The Dragon High Current... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Very Interesting Topic. I have 2 Dragon HC, (1 meter) my Outlets Are Furutech NFC Rhodium. My amp is Gryphon Mephisto Stereo, which require 2 power cables. I'm not digging these Cables with the Mephisto. Perhaps because the Mephisto is the most tr... | |
| Gryphon Apex Stereo vs Mephisto Solos Peter, After Thought: Keep in mind your cables, 2 per Apex/Commander. I'm using all Furutech with both the Pandora (overkill) and the Mephisto with great results. If you want to discuss further PM me. As mentioned the two cables I am using on the ... | |
| Gryphon Apex Stereo vs Mephisto Solos Peter you are in a enviable situation. Agreed in regards to never too much power. You will not be disappointed with Apex Stereo/Commander. I am fortunate in regards to my musical space. Great acoustics. A friend came over who is a singer, and she ... | |
| Gryphon Apex Stereo vs Mephisto Solos Hi Peter, I spoke with Jeff and Rune. Jeff has a future demo scheduled for the APEX Stereo, NO COMMANDER. In which I find odd? Jeff is a nice guy to talk with so is Rune for that matter. Magico M6 with anything we mentioned will be exquisite! Apex... | |
| Gryphon Apex Stereo vs Mephisto Solos @petercsbae That's A Tough call. I also have the Mephisto/Pandora and this same quandary has seeped into my thought process as well. Was very close to pulling the string on Apex Stereo/Commander, deal fell apart with what I needed to get for my ... | |
| Systems over $100k @jg2077 Thanks Jose, yes the Commander looks quite substantial. If I got wind of the new line, perhaps would have waited before purchasing the Pandora. Actually not perhaps! I would have waited. Pandora is only 2 months old. Your Solos with the ... | |
| Systems over $100k @jg2077 How are you Jose? We spoke before. I thought you were going to sell your Solos? No I have not compared anything as of yet. I have spoken with some folks. I am in the preliminary planning part of this. I was very close in going with APEX/... | |
| Systems over $100k Seriously considering that. You start to wonder where the money will be best spent. Pandora/Mephisto is a great combination. That combo with top tier Rockport, Lyra (hard to beat) Vs Apex/Commander with my JA Pearl 20/20's? First combo is money b... | |
| Systems over $100k The evolution of an audiophile. I started with Phase Linear, Revox A77, Empire TT, Epicure, didn't give cables a 2nd thought back in the day. This was a lot of money back than. Now Gryphon Mephisto/Pandora/EMM's DV2, M12 switch, Cardas, JCAT LPS, ... | |
| Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k? Find a used Classe' Sigma SSP, and use it as a 2 channel line stage. Read up on it, it was built for 2 channel. Truly balanced. PM me I have one in the box collecting dust. | |
| Audiophile Prayer Very funny MC!! | |
| Gryphon Mephisto @lalitk Not to mention saving a few Green Backs!! |
