Old Fashioned NY Audio Rave Staten Island October 22, 1pm till I kick u out

[GDHAL]

So many kind folks posting to this thread regarding equipment/gear, I'm curious now as to your music 🎶 preference.

Me, I'm a deadhead, however, I listen to many, many other bands/genres.

No need to necessarily post your music preferences, as tomorrow I suppose I'll find out. 

Last call for anyone wanting some digital live recordings that I'm well known for sharing.

I like Jazz Rock just about everything but Pditty and Fitty cent oh and no country. I think as long the recording is good the guys will like it

The Cherry DAC was developed by Leo at Orchid and the first amp the Orchid built was based around on Cherry amp modules.

Yippee kai yay MF...
Orchard Audio Starkrimson in the house and playing music

Good news Am quite interested in hearing comments on this unit

You got it. I will tell you after getting through the aggravation of maybe not getting it in time and a few other things I am listening right now, and I will say if this is what Class A sounds like I want more. After all this is what Gan Fet is, the digital version of Class A designs. I wish I had a Class A amp to compare. Maybe I can get Jbtrio to bring his SIT 3 tomorrow. By the way build quality is high school grade. He needs to up his game on the case. Just basically a fancy project box as well as a dedicated shipping box and packing. I understand this amp has clocked many miles around the country but come on. I unpacked it and had a rattle, took off the top and there was a screw rolling around. Tossed that bad boy.

Well, excellent sound is first on my list, but good quality build sure is important. I'm sympathetic to manufacturers trying to keep costs down, but I'm one of those guys who's willing to pay more for a sold case and aesthetics. Can that be done for another $200-250 on this unit that I'd be willing to pay, I have no idea.

Well at a starting price of 2499.00 I would think it could be squeezed in. I know when Tommy started with the cherry amps and he was bringing them to our raves the build was probably not like they are now. The Mini Gan 5 is rock solid build quality. Have it playing now but not really paying attention. Orchard Audio is in NJ, so I don't know what they are drinking next door, but it seems like they are becoming the Digital Amp capital of the country. We have Tommy O'brien may he rest in peace, Merrill from Merrill Audio and now Leo at Orchard. Hmm... makes you wonder "Orchard" Audio and "Cherry" Amplifiers. Maybe they were classmates or something. I'm just kidding

Guess I should've checked on the price...I didn't know it was $2,499. So a better enclosure would definitely be in order....

Hope I stay awake for the Rave. I'm enjoying listening to both amps right now. They both have their own unique characteristics. I am definitely digging both of them. What makes things tough is the price differences between the two. Is the Starkrimson worth 3x the price and what exactly is the Mini Gan not giving for the lesser price. We will find out today when everyone has a listen.

The photos I took are too large maximum size allowed on the site I believe is 600 KB I don't want to deal with starting to reduce the size of files etc.

It was wonderful to meet all of you. Thank you, host, Evan for the *grate* hospitality.

Best.
