Have heard some of those amps at sun coast. When time to part with dollars, it was their Esoteric F03. After 30 years chasing the hi fi sound, back to 30 watts and listening to music and forgetting the system

The component selection/quality/solder quality of the brand Soulution + the organic sound, maybe the best brand in Europe

AUDIONET is another European extreme hi-end audio brand that belongs here, as well as CH Audio. Great video, keep the conversation going. Any reason for Mike dropping Gryphon? Just curious.

How has Jay never owned a naim piece? Naim has some gear that's affordable that can make your jaw drop. He's owned about every brand except naim. Or his video showing his past setups show everything but naim....I think your missing out not trying naim Jay....Especially with these newer Focal speakers. Match made in heaven. My sopra 3 came alive when I hooked a naim star to it. I'm now going with naim seperates. The Integrated was that good... I would love to hear some dan dagostino.... some gryphon equipment and McIntosh. But when deciding a new route to go... I decided to go naim since Focal used them to voice there sopras. Why wouldn't I go for a amp that has synergy with my speakers. Synergy is real. Some amps just sound perfect with some speakers and sound like shit with others. Love the channel Jay! Keep up the hard work. 💪
