ph0rk Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I just fired up my spanking-new Rockhopper M3 (Thanks, Stephen!). Power is good. My k701 almost sounds bassy! My k271 almost has slam! My crappy music sounds slightly less crappy! There is still treble! I'm not even drunk yet! I have a half fifth of Gentleman Jack on my desk! If I had only known what this could sound like I'd have ordered one a year ago. I really hope this doesn't mean a β22 is in my future.

ph0rk Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 The k701, more often than not an 0404 usb's onboard amp (I know, I know), the k271, a gilmore lite. I have a beast of a dehumidifer in my apartment (not optional), so open headphones don't get a great deal of use right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fungi Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Did you miss that M^3 thread? And the fact that some people have found the M^3 so good as to not really want to go higher, at least for a long time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 my m3 is definitely an endgame amp for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 my m3 is definitely an endgame amp for me. But your m3 is not your average m3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bperboy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 ^^ Is that the balanced M^3? I kind of remember it from CanJam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 my m3 is definitely an endgame amp for me. But you can feel the pull of a balanced β22 and σ22, can't you? >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Jay's on the rag, ignore him. He's right tho, not an exciting story.

Did the amps really blow? Please let me know and I'll see if there's something we can do for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Tyll, those were the loaners that I blew up. Tho if you wanted to send me a pair of monoblocks to replace the ones you loaned me, I'd be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you guys are great with amplifiers and such, but I highly doubt that you have the skill to fix Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
