| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? It depends on what you mean by dynamics. Both have excellent dynamics IMO but the Gryphon has ‘more’ bass control for sure. However, it also contributes to a slightly darker character that I didnt care for. Vitus, on the other hand, doesn’t have ... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Keep in mind that SS101 was Hans Vitus’ original designs with few compromises. Another advantage of SS-101 is that it can be used as an integrated amp due to a built in volume control, or you can use a dedicated preamp with it. I have no doubt th... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? @ryder I compared the Diablo 300 and a Vitus SS-101, both used. For my taste, Vitus was a winner. It’s not as muscular sounding as the Gryphon, but it had a refinement and sweetness in class A mode that I found appealing. Again, one is not better... | |
| Unitiqute 2 failing - what to do I had the same experience with Naim. Their product failed within 3 years. Sad part is they didn’t even bother to return my emails or offered any kind of advice. I don’t recommend Naim to anyone. They were yesterdays news running on past - 20 year ... | |
| speaker upgrade fever I second the recommendation for Borresen X3. You'll be hard pressed tO find better value for the price. | |

| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i You guys realize that there's not much difference in size between 2.7i and 3.7i, right? Same height but 2.7i is a few inches narrower. If OP's downsizing due to size issues, I doubt 2.7 is the answer. I auditioned the 2.7i at a local dealer extens... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Currently, I have two very different sounding speakers in the stable. First is Harbeth 40.2, which despite its shortcomings, still warms my heart like no other speaker. The second speaker I bought a few months ago is Magenpan 3.7i. It offers its o... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. BTW, I have a friend who drives his Wilson Alexia 2 with high end Audio Research amps and preamps. Very few systems can recreate the live event, e.g. jazz clubs, as his. He has worked hard on all aspects of his audio chain and the results are asto... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @mclinnguy I sent a note to Tammy (admin) and she has reposted my original message. If you scroll up you can read it :) | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. No, I'm totally surprised. It did not contain anything that violated the policy to the best of my knowledge. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @relaxasaurus: Having owned the Joseph Audio Perspective 2's before, all I can tell you is that they have a very different presentation than the O/96s. Both are great speakers so it boils down to personal preference. When I first got them Perspect... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Hmm.. I posted something a few mins ago. There was nothing offensive in my post. I see that it has been removed. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I don’t begrudge Danny for such videos. This is how his business model operates. From what I know, his main source of revenue comes from selling DIY kits and not upgrading speakers from other manufacturers. So why does he do it? Because it establi... | |
| Mac MA 352 vs Pass INT-60 Pass Labs is a no brainer in this case. |
