@@angela-gilbertOf course you’re having trouble keeping up with demands. People can see the obvious care and quality quality in one of your amplifiers, be it, power, pre, phono, etc.
Honestly, some of these amps are gorgeous, the organic meshing the capacitance. If I lived in Canada would have bought one, and my Yamaha would have an agy upgrade. Now I am 5 amps in and with my hearing it is all good.
@@randharma Good to know someone like yourself understand and able to connect to the work. There is no good or bad art. It is whether we can connect to it or not.
I'm a massive fan of this and have had similar ideas come into my mind over the years. Would love to contribute in some way, like donating amps, which would also help me declutter and heal from hoarding issues. Totally into resourcefulness and reuse, but most importantly, I love colourful art. I'm in Australia and amps are heavy, but this project is worth investing in!
Thanks for your kind thought. The shipping cost from Australia to Canada is short of crazy. I have sent a Funky to Australia in this September via UPS and cost over USD550.00. I couldn't send the Funky amp via Canada Post because the dimensions were about 5cm over their limit on all three side. Only way to make it more acceptable is to send only parts it still will cost quite a bit on shipping.
@@angela-gilbert Oh wow, those guys must be making a killing! What a shame... still, I might start looking into ways around this predicament! Anyway, I hope your inspiration continues because I can see the least expensive offerings turning out to be the most highly valued and sort after and that's very cool. Even cooler is the fact that you're not doing things the other way around and making the funky stuff the least accessible, so there's a chance for a guy like me to get in early... once I work out the logistics!
Great vid! Mine takes pride of place on top of my rack and I can’t stop staring at it… so as an art piece it’s achieved its first goal- secondly 32 watts I can tell you is plenty- third - sound quality is as good or better than most of my previous big name brands! I’ve owned Moon - Naim - Arcam - Cyrus systems in the past and this does music better. I don’t have the vocabulary to describe what I’m hearing, all I know is it sounds so good. It’s in a nutshell very very engaging.
@@NickP333 It seems life is more about complain than seeing the good thing. Looking good is a personal taste. I only remember I call some of those big black boxes ugly in the video. You see, I remember the negative more than the positive.
@@angela-gilbertI think that’s because we’re always most critical of ourselves, and in designing and building something, you want it to be the best you possibly can. I’m the same way with my own work. I think anyone who cares about their work is going to be critical of it, and hope people enjoy it. An artists work will always be critiqued, and to some those black boxes are absolutely ugly. I think those people would be drawn more to something beautiful looking like your art / amplifiers in sound and in how they look. 👍🎶😊

I may have to die before Funky get famous enough to be display there. In the meantime, I am going on OCD Mikey this Sunday night and I make sure we are going to talk more about Funkies.
@@brianyee5504 Going to places like that require connections. Which require me to deal with people. It would be difficult for me to deal with people. Especially snobby people. We have tried to put something in the local art gallery last year. We went as far as talking for 3 months but nothing materialize. It needs constant pushing. As soon as production get busy, I don't have time to push in that direction anymore. On the side note, Funky has been notice by higher end audio people who want a serious performance amp in a Funky package. When I have done a few of them, may be the perception will continue to change towards the positive directions.
@@davidpaabor1382 The reason I said sensitive in the title was because this topic used to attract a lot of hard core audiophile attackers. For some reasons they simply couldn't understand and/or reject the idea for what ever reasons they come up with.
@@angela-gilbertI understand! Mabey they were just jealous that they could not even affoard your cheaper moddels and they are stuck with there 50% off soundsystem they got online and not the real hifi like you guys make how knows right mabey? :p
@@davidpaabor1382 Perhaps you are right about them being jealous. In any case, we are getting more positive and less negative as time passes. More people understand what is my intention of making these Funkies amp. Especially after they have heard it, no need to say more.
@@angela-gilbert That make sense and i am glad for you! The value of a good product should really speak for it self and from what i can see you guys make some beautiful and unique pieces.
I am not into crazy watt amp. They have their purpose only I am not into that sort of power. I can probably build one but I will never be happy with it.

very informative as always. buying one of these is a good way to experience an AG product if you're onna budgeto. a conversation piece for sure.
One-off amplifiers as a creative outlet - its brilliant and I hope you get many takers!
@@Luckiestmanalive-bb1mi Enough takers to the point I don't have enough time to keep up the demand at the moment.
@@angela-gilbert = Excellent - congratulations!
@@angela-gilbertOf course you’re having trouble keeping up with demands. People can see the obvious care and quality quality in one of your amplifiers, be it, power, pre, phono, etc.
@@NickP333 May be I should slow down on doing video and put more time into production? Eventually, someone may say that. 😆😁

Good to hear you are enjoying your Funky.
😂 “If I pay that much, I want something that looks good!” AG for the win!
Did I say that in the video?
10.34 😂 Yup, and it was great! I’d be honored to own one of your amps, but we know people need to complain about something, so again, A-G for the win!

Got both answers correct!!😀
Proof this is a “learning channel” vs. a “sales channel”…!
@@brianyee5504 Did we ask a question?
@@angela-gilbert the two costliest parts of the amp.
@@brianyee5504 Oh, all lite. I did ask that question.
George loves kicking Kenwood, Onkyo, and harmon/kardon black boxes!
I kicked that black box too. As soon as it has happy color on it, we will be handle with care.
I hear you’re building a special amplifier for the Audio Junkie 😎
The BBQ Cow amp project was completed in February this year.
@@angela-gilbert AMAZING 🐄🐄🐄🐄
Creativity!!!

Actually; I can see the funky on display at the Tate in London…easily.
I may have to die before Funky get famous enough to be display there. In the meantime, I am going on OCD Mikey this Sunday night and I make sure we are going to talk more about Funkies.
@@angela-gilbert Nah…in my humble opinion, the funkies are ready for the Tate…(definitely more deserving than 90% of the C__P I see there!!)
@@angela-gilbert looking forward to another *Mike* video!
