| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Guys, my gryphon diablo 300 has about 200 hours on it and I think it fully burned in now. The overall sound is so refined but at the same time rich and textured, far from thin , cold or analytical, but at the same time I can’t say it’s warm or thi... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Bob, I did not listen the 120 but I called gryphon myself and they told me that diablo 300 has class A dual mono preamplifier stage that is taken from their refference preamplifier. This contributes to more deatails and better instrument placemen... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Agree with Inna, the Gryphon diablo 300 not only more powerful but also more refined than diablo 120, plus you want it to be your last amplifier. | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Some update, the Gryphon continues to sound better. I have around 150 hours on it and I think its fully opened up and sound outstanding.

| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k crouse99, I had in my system both K-07X and K-05X. Only DACs are the same. The K-05X has better transport and torrodial custom transformer. These both differences make K-05X sound more dynamic, and a little more refined. I love latest esoteric off... | |
| Esoteric K-03X vs Accuphase DP-720 The K-05x is a great player, to my ears it sounded better than accuphase DP-550 (more micro details and better dynamics) when I had them both in my system. The latest Esoteric X models (if properly burned) don't have this analytical sound from pre... | |
| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k Esoteric K-05X .I can refer you the dealer who can get you to 6k for brand new K-05X. Within this price range I doubt you can find better sounding (CDs and SACDs) and as reliable player as Esoteric k-05x.PM me if you want the info. | |
| Esoteric D-05X performance I am curious also, since its DAC has latest chip found in esoteric K1 grandioso and does not have anything to do with the DAC in my esoteric K-05x. | |
| The choice of my new CD player in_store, can you please give more details on comparing the Esoteric k-03x with PS audio direct stream what did you like better, what is missing?. Did you end-up buying PS combo? Currently I have esoteric k-05x and would like to upgrade to better ... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Ok guys. My Gryphon Diablo 300 is ccurrently on 80 hours mark braking in and I feel that it needs another 70- 100 to fully open up. Differences with the Pass INT-250 so far:Gryphon is more revealing, not as smooth as Pass. But its tonality more i... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Inna, totally agree with your thinking, cables are critically important part of the system and the higher you are - the more significance they bring. For now I am done - exactly like you said - recovering from these expenses. My all cabling incl... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Hello, I got the Gryphon Diablo 300. It was delivered to me by freight on a pallet. After 5 hours of burning (it was totally brand new), this is my observation in compare to Pass INT-250. First obvious difference the low and mid bass on a differen... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one I demoed Mark Levinson 585 and Vitus RI-100.My pass int-250 is better than both of those to my ears.The Levinson was too polite anD Vitus too hi-fi ish sounding, not my thing. The Vitus SIA-025 is the one that checks all boxes, but lack of US ser... | |
