Fine tuning things Today. Still more to go !
Good to see you here Jay. Looking forward to what's coming!
Dave
Thank you !
Good stuff Jay.
I enjoy watching your videos and listening to your commentary.
Enjoy your M6s
I think Mike did great for this unexpected interview , also when we know that he had a really long day behind him. Seems to me from this that it can pay to actually have better loudspeakers and maybe save a bit on amplifiers when one has to choose where to put most of the money. !
Thank you Jay , and yes have been thinking to see if i could get a listen to some Gryphon amps....not as easy as one would think :)
I would love to try gryphon again. I have turned quite a few audiophiles into gryphon lovers. I can't wait for the Mephisto EVO.
Can definitely do it this way and obtain great sound as depicted in the video. However, Jay previously had less expensive speakers and more expensive electronics, and I think it may have sounded even better. However, my basis is yt videos vs the real experience from Jay - would be great to get his opinion on this - perhaps in another video :-)
Dave
Coming soon !
Welcome to the Shark Jay.
thezaks ( Dave )i agree with you , and thats actually a hard thing when one looks to do an upgrade should one choose speakers first and then later on amplification or the other way around :) i think there is probably no easy answer to that question , hence my ! as i would not be sure which to do first.
That was an awesome you tube video, I learned a lot about Pass Labs. Mike's and Jay's knowledge, actual hands on experience and website/you tube video's help me immensely build my system. Keep up the great work.
knghifi , yes that would of course be the best , but i at least do not have that amount of money to do both at the same time. And for now i am just starting to slowly think and learn more. My next big step up will be upgrading my Lumin T1 to an X1 , if all goes well i will orde it at the end of April.
FDPDK,
I hear ya, unfortunately most have a limited budget for toys.
Most times, there's a logical upgrade order. Many many moons ago I had Eggleston Andra II and Krell FPB600. Got exposed to Graaf OTL, EAR, Avantgarde .... so wanted Avantgarde with tube amp. Can't afford both so logical upgrade order was buy Avantgarde speakers and drive them with Krell until I can afford a tube amp. After ~2 years later, I replaced Krell with tube amp. Actually the Krell combination was very good.
The reverse order not going to work. Very few tube amps can drive Andra's properly so basically no system until I could afford the Avantgarde.
Time to get serious with the m6:

Thats like me telling you if you want to get serious then begin to buy m6 because your select 2 dac deserves nothing less...
You might want to take a look at all my videos... I've been through many components... Im only having fun now and enjoying the journey. Not in a rush to go buy the ultra high end components I've already been through. I'm in a exploratory phase right now simply taking my time and enjoying the "bus ride" without thinking about the destination.
I believe Jay posted in a previous video. Is it "better" to have "tier 1"speakers and mid-fi electronics?
Or tier 1 electronics and mid-fi speakers?
I think part of his journey is taking us through electronics (amps) until he reaches his pinnacle.
The videos will illustrate as others have mentioned here that the M6 is so brutally revealing of every upstream change. For better or worse.
IMHO (and others here too probably) No matter if you have Soulution electronics.
A lower end speaker will never be able to give you the output that those electronics and respective front end changes.
Of course, the fun is finding system synergy to meet your taste and budget.
I'm not familiar with his YT channel. I just watched his M3 video. Quite a few haters posting comments there. Don't know how the punters can offer a meaningful opinion on a speaker based on what they hear on a YouTube video. I did note the M3's were on wheels and not pods. No way can you make a valid assessment of that speaker not on its Mpods or Mfeet.
Yes, guessing is part of the game for me. I think what some don't realize is that i have been through so much ultra high end components already. The proof is in the pudding by simply watching my videos. Where is it written that one must not use this or that component with the m6?
Yes i can bring soulution 701 and 725 tomorrow and be done but what's the rush? Why can't the journey be enjoyed? I purposely bought cheaper electronics for the m6. This was my plan and i was very vocal about it before I got them. I won't be with pass labs 60.8 forever but i want to hear how the speaker morphs as i feed it better electronics. I want to understand what each component adds each step of the way and how the m6 reacts.
Remember, most of your own systems are optimized to your likings and preferences. You know exactly what to look for in order to find your own enjoyment. On the other hand, I'm not seeking a "game over" system. I'm exploring, playing and understanding with different brands and components and taking notes as i go.
We all know blue plus red equals purple. Blue plus yellow equals green color. I'm now playing with green plus purple and any other color to see what we get. That's all.

Too much talking, too little happening for my liking.

So, Mike travels to deliver the Gryphon amp and preamp to Jay. Gryphon changes distribution and Mike drops the line due to the requirement of displaying speakers. Jay loves and features the Gryphon products in his next video. Quite the timeline. I really feel for Mike here. I've been in retail in the past and have had similar experiences.
Jay,
Do you take requests for gear to demo in your system?
If so, For electronics ; I'd like to hear the Audionet Humboldt Integrated, MSB Select 2 +Plus MSB Amp(s)
For cabling and accessories , Shunyata Everest , Full loom of Sigma V2 cables and Omega Power Cord(s) on your amp(s)
Please and thank you :-)
best I've ever heard Magicos was on an Antileon
the worst is probably Soulution
Don't change a thing Jay. Excellent channel.
And so we begin to move up to another level with the M6. Watch and see this speaker get better and better while it is in my possession. I plan to take it to levels that haven't been seen (at least on youtube). More will come, expect the unexpected with me.
Have a great weekend everyone

They had about 250 hours. They should have about 350-400 hrs now.
