Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?


Anyone expecting one soon or received theirs?

My biggest question is, does the Diablo 333 have a slightly dark, rich, bassy tone to it, like the Diablo 300 and the Antileon Evo? Or is it the more neutral “Essence” sound?

Friends, I am happy to report I have a 333 on order and am hoping to take delivery before the end of the month. I’ll obviously post my impressions once I get it in and setup. 

@nyev, I’ve very much enjoyed your past posts about your demo experience with cables for your Diablo 300. I’ll be looking to upgrade my current speaker cables (Shunyata Venom), and Nordost will have to be considered, among others. 

 

 

@62truck , thank you and glad my sharing of experiences has been informative.  Very happy to hear you have a 333 en route!  Looking forward to your impressions.  What is the rest of your system?

I remain convinced that the that Audioquest Dragon power cords and Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker cables are the best for my Diablo 300 and system, at least for the cables I’ve demoed.  

@62truck , do you have a sense of how the Diablo 300 sounds and performs, to compare with your 333?  If not no worries, still interested in your impressions either way.

Thank you!

My system currently is a Lumin T2 (Shunyata Alpha NR V1) and Magico A3's.

I demo'd the Diablo 300 on Magico A3's when I first was putting together what would become my current system. That is the only reason I was comfortable ordering the 333 unheard. But it was a few years ago and I am convinced I won't be able to give a detailed A/B comparison, unfortunately.

@62truck , thanks and looking forward to your impressions, which possibly will be the first on Audiogon for the 333!  Might have started a competition now, lol…

Hmm i would be interested too in getting some impressions

I owned the diablo 300 before

now I own a krell 300 xd. The gryphon imo is was the more powerful amp.. and i enjoyed the sound. However, im a bit shocked to say I’m enjoying my Krell more. Its both sweeter and more detailed. That said i often think back at my time with the gryphon

i started looking at trading in for an i400, but gryphon says the 333 usesCircuit advancements and parts from the new Apex and Commander. VERY intriguing

the i400 is probably better, but the 333 is not only cheaper but can save me from buying a preamp
