Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?
@ryder - I’d be curious to hear how the Gryphon settled into your system. What was your journey like listening and discoverying what it sounded like in your system? I think it’s one of the subtle things that makes us all so intrigued by the gear a... 
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
@kjl1065 - Another vote for the Linear Tube Audio preamp. It’s really good. I believe they have a return policy. But after hearing it in your system, I doubt you’ll want to return it  
Better DAC or better Streamer
@eddy1 - I suspect the Aurender streamers were actually just doing a better job of showing what the components sound like. It’s my understanding Focal speakers have a reputation for being bright.   
New Fischer & Fischer Audio 670 Speakers : Made Out Of SLATE..
@mikepowellaudio - I’m glad you represent these speakers in the USA, Mikey. I came across them from a guy down under in Australia who has them paired with a SoulNote Dac and Amp. Yes, over YouTube, but they sounded amazing.  
Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre
@tkukielk - Unfortunately, I’ve not had the opportunity to hear the Primaluna. I’d suspect the pass XA-25 with the LTA would be spectacular though.   
Looking for a new DAC
@ice812 - Everyone is going to want to know what sort of sound signature you want. Are you looking for hyper clarity? Or something possibly less detailed but some would say more musical in its warmth and flow?    in my own journey, I’ve found I b... 
Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre
@audioman58 - I’m not able to do the upgrade myself for awhile. Will have to wait a few months, unfortunately. Please share your review with us after the LTA level 3 is in your system and run-in!   
Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre
@audioman58 - I've always sensed your enthusiasm for audio and music on the forum, so I’m happy things are resolved. For anyone considering an LTA product, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Excellent product and customer service is top notch.  
Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners
Bumping this thread. Anyone had experience with the Innuos Zenith mkiii with the usb reclocker vs the pulsar? I’ve heard conflicting reports on the relative qualities of each in comparison to one another. I’d welcome hearing first hand perspectiv... 
Upgrade to sound quality of Dynaudio Heritage speakers
@jmascian @soix - As Soix mentioned, the Gryphon 300 would be an excellent pairing with the Dynaudios. That amp would bring the Heritage speakers to life. Big Time.   
Upgrade to sound quality of Dynaudio Heritage speakers
@jmascian - As noted by @loomisjohnson - The Dynaudio Heritage Speakers are not efficient speakers. I also own a pair of Dynaudio Heritage speakers and know, from experience, they need a more powerful amp to open up.  I initially used a Luxman 59... 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
@verdantaudio - Thank you this thread. I’d sent you a note regarding the Soul Note Dac 2 which you kindly responded to. Unfortunately, I was not able to respond via the thread so wanted to thank you here!   
Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre
@thriftyaudio - I once tried to post my system but got hung up with technical glitches. Will try to get it posted over the next few months. I’ve been cycling through different components and am torn between two potential reference systems.   
Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre
@cbrez - Do you have any additional information - or anecdotal feedback - on what the level three upgrade will bring in regards to highs and bass? I wonder if they might have intimated any other details.  @cbrez @sls883 @thriftyaudio - Out of cu... 
Linear Tube Audio version 3 of the MicroZOTL pre
I just upgraded to level 2. I found the upgrade was absolutely worth it. I’m going to wait for awhile but will upgrade when it makes sense in the future. I trust LTA. When they say it’s an upgrade, sign me up. Great company.
