Someone please pull the burr outta pinkies backside...he's done gone cranky on me!
"Hype" was a quick and poorly chosen word. You've just given your opinion and that's how I took it. Still trying to arrange an audition but the emails have gone unanswered...much like the ones at Headroom!! Dangit!!
Warm, lush and soothing....the EMPA sounds like it's just what the doctor ordered. I'll lay my hands on one sooner or later. Too bad you have to live...well, whereever it is you really live with that screwy voltage. I'd bum the melos and EMP from you and give 'em a run!
Anyway, I'll find my perfect amp sooner or later. Heck, I might even find the perfect tube to run in the Raptor to please my ear. Somehow, I've a feeling that I'm simply enjoying the chase way too much.

If you are expecting killer bass this side of a Melos amp you will not get it. If you want the pace and punch of a GSP solo, you will not get that either. If you want the detail of the Raptor then look elsewhere. What it offers you is refinement. You want to listen to Metallica or Rage against the Machine then this amp won't make you Rock. It's a warm sounding amp. It will help with the bright headphones. or maybe a bright source. It's is faster than an EMP and has more controlled bass but at the end of the day it's a slush amp. You know I love warm amps and headphones. So for me this is ideal. Don't drop your money on this and go Mr. Crybaby on me. Audition it by all means and form your own impressions. I am not gonna fall out or argue with you on this one. If you think it sux lovespuds then chalk it down to experience when you audition it. Disagree with me if you find it is different to what you are led to believe by all means. KenW, Read this meatstick ***Audition it first. Then decide.*** |
