PC for Gryphon Diablo 300


Since this appears to be a popular amp I'm wondering what everyone is using for the power cord.
I have heard that gryphon products tend to sound best with gryphon cables. 
I have also heard that their amps sound good even with stock PCs

I am looking at AQ Dragon 20a 2meter as I'm fond of this cord and think it would be a nice match. Thoughts?

yea it's priced very aggressively. I'll probably look to the used market. Thanks for the input

I am also using a powercell 12 uef se with HC Galileo power cord.

so this may power into that opposed to direct into wall

Yes i noticed the type and tried editing a few days back it but its too late to edit. Looking for c13 plug

The gryphon dealer mentioned for me to explore silver cables as gryphon amps tend to love them. I switched to silver speaker cables from stealth audio. Fantastic improvement over my old aq copper cables.

looking to stay with that trend. I use shunyata sigma XLRs and they tend to provide a nice warm balance to the mix. I also use the gold tuning bullet on my Galileo SX power cord, (to which most of my system runs through as thats the pc from my conditioner)

So i think i can afford more silver and love the idea of high current as this amp can draw tons of power rapidly.

Atm i have the diablo matched with Triode labs Obsession PC. It's a nice balanced cable that I plan to move to my dac as soon as I get a new cord for amp

@arch2 it’s superb. The process to get the amp was quite tedious i had many on trial. I tried many amps including: the parasound JC1+ monos, ayre, pass 250, hegel h590, and i even tested the m/c900 pair (excellent btw) but the diablo was the cream of the crop. It gave me everything that I’m looking for and punches above its pricepoint. Extended treble response but smooth. Effortless it just has so much power and can really drive even the most difficult loads. One thing that pushed it over the top compared to the luxman was the diablos bass.

Overall its very quite and highly resolving. My search has endend and i plan to keep it for a long time! I haven’t heard it with the optional dac so cant comment on that part but It’s just really good amp.

@thyname I’ve been hearing more and more about Zavfino. It’s certainly Intriguing . curious if they have a trial period

I’ve successfully aquired the dragon HC 2m for roughly 1/3rd price of new. watching jays channel he seems to think they are by far the best and hes tested a great many over the years

It will be like a double upgrade for me. Right now my dac is using nordost blue haven which is a cheapo >$300 cord. I can move the triode labs obession to my dac so that in itself will be a big upgrade for my system.

excited
