Opinions on best integrated under 10k?

Some crazy Japanese audiophiles use two transformers to change voltage up and down and claim it sounds better. Acupwr.com transformers look good to me. No, he probably won't sell it to the US for $12.5k, $10k maybe.

It's easy to find out if Gryphon would convert to 120 V. Good step up transformer, not $50 Chinese, should be alright with Gryphon, I suspect. Overseas transactions would worry me more than this.

No Gryphon for you then.

Save $100 per month for 5 years and you'll see what happens.

The review is as senseless as most, I am not even sure he burned it in before listening for at least 100 hours.  The most important thing he said was that Flemming Rasmussen had retired. That's bad, who knows what is going to happen with Gryphon.
Diablo 300 is $5k more. If buying new I would not even think about Diablo 120, the difference is not just power. Also, you can have both phono and dac in Diablo 300. 
If you can afford $11k for 120 you can afford $16k for 300. Just sell a few records that you will never listen if this difference matters.
Go people, go.

It is better to get Cartier for your wife than spend $10k on average quality audiophile boxes with Chinese parts. You need $22k for Diablo 300 with dac. That dac is upgradeable on-line.

Give the bonus check to "the other half". That's not enough for you. You need $16k for Gryphon Diablo 300. If you want to take some risk and ready to deal with European voltage, you might be able to find previous generation Diablo 250 watt/ch with phono stage in Europe. I see them available from Germany from time to time for about $6k. Not sure about onboard dac.
