Gryphon Apex Stereo vs Mephisto Solos


What will be the smart decision. Purchasing Apex stereo or Mephisto solos. Gryphon brochure and on line web page shows Apex seems better or equivalent to Mephisto solos and slightly cost less On the other hand, Mephisto is still a proven and beloved mono amplifier although it is 8 years old design.

I am on the market to purchase my new amplifier and need your comment and advice for right decision,

Peter, After Thought: Keep in mind your cables, 2 per Apex/Commander. I'm using all Furutech with both the Pandora (overkill) and the Mephisto with great results. If you want to discuss further PM me. As mentioned the two cables I am using on the Mephisto are the same as on the power supply of the Pandora. Its really a waste of cable for that application.

What would be the greatest improvement in terms of SQ between a new Commander preamp or new Mephisto mono amps in a system composed of Essence momo amps and a Pandora preamp?

I’m waiting for the all new Gryphon Diablo 333 Integrated amp to come out later this year that will be a real game-changer! 😈BIG... IMPROVEMENT...
