Gryphon Diablo 333

have a feeling this amp will become legendary soon and remain so for many many years

very tentatively considering one against a Luxman M-10x with a 5k-ish non Luxman pre amp....something like an RME ADI 2/4 Pro SE that might have alot of other value and usage should the M-10x not be around at a later date

at their respective price points, and I'm guilty of this but changing, effort should probably made to audition both in home

if you could find a dealer that carries both lines, I think the request to borrow both while committing to buying one would be considered reasonable, or even pay for both with a guaranteed refund on the one you don't like

personally I would gladly pay to rent gear and eschew alot of the above, wish that option was more widely available
