Feliks Audio ENVY

Though I wonder if dividing my love among all three types of Elrog would be more polyamory than I could handle.
It's inevitable. In coming years, there will be other ER variants.

Either way doesn't seem a bunch of people are buying these units
Quite the opposite. Lots buying (for the perspective of an $8k amp) just very limited inventory. We placed our first order for some Envy units on January 12th of this year, got 1 retail unit just in time for CanJam SoCal so we decided to open that up and show off at the show and use as a demo unit. We received one other unit this month. So almost a year between our initial order and getting any retail stock.

We're hoping that supply for parts and build can pick up soon! The Walnut Performance is proving to be the most popular by far and the backorder list is growing longer and longer for it!

Hi,

I have Feliks Envy Performance, but it's a bit too soft and slow for me. I miss dynamics and details. I'm thinking of replacing it with a WA33. Or should I keep Envy and order Elrog Mo? What do you think? Please help me ;)

My DAC is Holo May KTE. Second amp Niimbus US5 Pro. Headphones are Abyss 1266 Phi TC, Audeze LCD5, ZMF Verite Closed and Meze Empyrean.

Which tubes are you using? That Walnut is might pretty. :)

Just bought a Walnut office desk to match my Envy.

Still waiting. Lol

I’m not sure that he should judge until he has 200 hours on the amp. The driver tubes take a long time to burn in. I would not describe the amp burned in as he describes it.

His pix show the stock performance tubes. PSVane and FullMusic.

He will notice substantial improvement in the direction he wants from either Elrog, or even from AN4300E. Given his desires as stated, perhaps Elrog Mo are the best choice. Further improvements can be obtained by rolling the 6SN7 tubes.

Tubes worked for about 100 hours. It's still too soft and slow for me :frowning2: Elrog Mo will be brighter, faster and more transparent? Bass won't lose power then? :)

Correct. Bass is deeper, faster, and exceedingly well defined and controlled. The Elrog Mo are unlike anything else in 300B. The ER are as good, but a little more tooooby.

You want Elrog EM300B-Mo's and replace those drivers with some Melz 1578's (good luck finding them).

Don't count on the TM's being available anytime in the immediate future.

Are there Elrog black friday deals somewhere?

I can dream about TM's cant I?

I have this vision of ColSaulTigh wearing a trench coat. He approaches @MichalZZZZ and flashes a pair of MO's and then tells him:
"Relax, kid.............I'll let you listen for 15 minutes, NO cost and no risk" and another Elrog MO addict is hooked and in the Elrog cult!
