Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101

@eziggy Thanks yes the Vitus would probably do well, how about the T+A PA 3100 HV ?

I've seen a used one for sale would that be even better ?

Hi guys, i own a Diablo 300 since 1 year now paired with my Thiel CS 3.7s speakers.

Like some of you guys said in this thread the Diablo 300 is forward sounding and tends to be harsh when you raise the volume.

It is uber transparent, has a huge soundstage and has no problem handling my Thiel speakers in my medium size room.

I'd like to know if it would be worth trading in my Diablo 300 for a Vitus RI-101 mk2 ? or would that be a side move ?

Right now i don't have the budget to purchase separates even though it is planned for the future.

I have heard the Vitus RI-101 mk2 at a dealer's on different speakers, they were Joseph Audio Perspective 2 Graphene and liked the presentation very much.

Thanks.

A dealer is ready to lend me a Kora TB400 integrated to try out in my system.

Also i will see if i can find a Vitus SIA-025 on loan.

Ok guys, found a dealer that is ready to lend me his demo Vitus SIA-025 Mk2.

This is supposed to be one of the most musical SS integrated in the world.

Stay tuned!

I have to agree with @supermerio, i owned the Diablo 300 for a year and the Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 for more than a year and recently demoed a Jadis DA88S equiped with 8 KT120s.

The Jadis easily outperformed both the Gryphon and the Vitus in my system.

This was a big surprise for me even if i still like my SIA-025 Mk2.

I guess it is system dependent but with my speakers tubes amps bring things to a whole new level and i have demoed very expensive SS amps in the past.
