Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one
johnread57, During these two years I sold Gryphon 300, bought Luxman 509x sold it and got new pass int250 again.Why did I sell Gryphon 300 - in my system with my speakers (Sonus faber Amati Tradition) I noticed that Gryphon sounds not as good at t... 
Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row?
If you like the AU24 SX, the Front Rows are big step up. Yes the present a feeling that you are in the front row, yes they are reveling, but no signs of harshness or glare, very natural and most important (fro me) relaxed.The bass, highs, mids are... 
Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row?
Just saw your post. I had audience  au24 SX  and after much consideration and talking to audience I decided to buy them without auditioning. The front row is like au24sx n steroids. Better everything, treble, micro details, bass is tight but layer... 
First listening to AU24 SX I'm a little disappointed
I had the AU24 SX speaker cables and they were great. No grain, highs are sweet and airy and bass is terrific. I decided to upgrade to Front row and these speaker cables equal to component upgrade. Give some time for audience to settle and make su... 
Shunyata Sigma Speaker Cables and Interconnects
Check the Audience Front Row cables. I had Shunyata sigma before and even so I did not do direct compare, I think the front row is more focused with better image and dynamics. 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Inna, currently I have pass int-250 (again). Before that I had many integrated including bryston, plinius hiato, gamut 150le, pass int-60, gryphon diablo 300, luxman 509x. I had to sell gryphon diablo for financial reasons. In my system with my sp... 
Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u?
Totally agree with Trudat. The OP asked about 3 specific amp brands and this what advise should be given on and not convoluted sales pitch on a totally different brand. Unfortunately this is happening on many threads on Audiogon.  
Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
Audiotroy, do all latest XD stereo and mono krell amps using fans to cool things off? 
Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8
Guyl, thank you for informative and honest post. Based on the hype I bought Luxman 509x and it sounded like hifi device in my system, yes refined, but dull and strained at higher volumes. I went back to pass (pass int-250) and now I hear music. I ... 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
Nyev, yes a little warmish with a lot of texture. I think it also depends what cables you match it with. When I had diablo I used full shunyata sigma loom that all copper and sounded great but again with a lot of meat on the bones. Now I am thinki... 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
Hemoncdoc, always glad to share. From those I mentioned I only heard the progression and not in my system, but also with Amati.I also really prefer integrated path. But the Momento integrated out of my reach. Another one that you may to consider i... 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
Hemoncdoc, I currently have SF Amati Tradition. Great speaker for sure, to my surprise it disappears better than Serafino that I also had in my home for almost a year. And guess what drove Serafino - Gryphon Diablo 300. Yes great integrated, in di... 
Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase
Freesole, I had luxman 509x that drove the canton 3x reference speakers. I did not like the sound at all. No decay, analytical, flat. Guess what speakers cables I had with it - wireworld silver 8 eclipse. Once I changed the speaker cables to triod... 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
David_ten, this is the best description of the T+A integrated I read.Currently I have Pass INT-250 and all dealers that sell T+A keep saying that T+A 3100HV in a different league. I wish I would find a way to audition the T+A in my house.Thank you... 
Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase
Agree with Greginnh, its very important what speakers and what are the speaker and power cables you will use with these amplifiers. A lot of people underestimate the importance of cables and system match.
