Wanting to simplify my system ...... @georgehifi , I still have the Diablo , can you believe it actually overheats driving the Sashas for extended periods such as parties ? I need an excuse for the Diablo 300 .... | |

Audio Research I/50 @malibu457 , the reason there is no auto bias is because there isn't room to fit it , I saw a very interesting video on Youtube where they explain the ( few ) trade offs due to price but mainly design limitations in that chassis , which apparently... | |
High Fidelity Cables? I've noticed that HFC's website is no longer active , at least according to my search engine ? A shame , they were/are great cables . Repair work could now be an issue ? | |

As I go ' up the chain ' , the differences are definitely noticeable but I still keep thinkin... | |
Best Integrated, period. I recently swapped an ARC Phono 6 , LS27 and Ref 150 for a Gryphon Diablo . Part of this was because I was driven by a desire to simplify my system and also because I had been told by others that the Diablo and the Wilson Audio Sashas were a syner... | |
