| Gryphon Mephisto @cycle2: Brian, What Gryphon told me was physically separate the power supply from the pre, separate shelf. I always attempt to place my gear on individual circuits. I will not be able to do this when the Pandora/Power Supply Arrives. If the Pando... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Agreed George it is not the Mephisto. I talked with other Mephisto owners, DCS Vivaldi direct and they had similar observations. He has Rockport Lyra's. I know from a electronic engineering aspect the numbers from the DV2 should align. When you ru... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Also in regards to what Gryphon explained about separating the power supply, more head room... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto @cycles2, Thanks for the input. I'm expecting the Mephisto/Pandora to be a great pairing. John's a good guy, he makes things easy and uncomplicated. I have spoken with Gryphon a few times, they made it very clear as to place the power supply separ... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto William Blake: "The road of access leads to the palace of wisdom" Audio is just another branch of access. I imagine many people are cultivating the things they enjoy due to this covid situation. Its never too late to enjoy good music. You can sift... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Bob, its an obsession. Friends have boats, fancy cars, and spend money in areas that I have no interest in. Your observation in regards to expectations on what one will spend is accurate. The deeper one go’s into this hobby or obsession the higher... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Pierre, I think they are just moving the gear without making any deals. Your better off buying from a reputable dealer. That Pandora/Legato looks like it was sold. Sometimes its better to pay a little more to protect your investment. | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Lawyer203, its common knowledge that the Essence/Zena are exactly the same. Inside! its just an Aesthetic "thing". Its not like they did it to fool anyone. On a higher note is no longer the distributer. They announced it on the website, back in Ap... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Onahighernote used to be the distributer. They are no longer involved with distribution. They had several pieces left from demos and inventory. As Maxwave noted they still have that Essence pair. Interesting to note the Zena preamp and the Essence... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Maxwave sorry to sound rude. Your bilingual writing is much better than any of the languages I dabble in. Roxy54, the questions marks came after the post, purposely placed. | |
| Gryphon Mephisto No, they are making an original Pandora? Many of Gryphon products are manufactured as ordered? Not a lot of inventory floating around. What's difficult to understand? | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Here is a little more input or output? I have been running the Mephisto directly from the Emm Labs DV2. I was picking up some edgy-ness that I wasn't digging. I'm now running it from a Classe' Preamp as a line stage and I am now thinking this un... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Thanks Fellows, I am caught up with this piece. 16 hours of listening in two days. Its just getting better, I fired it up at 6am today, even out of the gate it performs. You can throw anything at it, Complex Classical, Jazz, Instrumental, what eve... | |
| Can a Classe SSP replace a dedicated stereo pre? The Sigma SSP in 2 channel is almost identical as the 800. For what you explained and how you intend to use it, you will be very pleased with the SSP. It can be a very good analog preamp. Proper cabling, circuits, can only propel it further. | |
| Can a Classe SSP replace a dedicated stereo pre? Bwguy! You are correct, it is a Wolfson! Too much audio pollution in my brain. I also agree with you in regards to it being a great analog preamp. Its hard to beat in digital bypass. Look at the THD numbers in digital bypass. Extremely low. Akhi ... |
