| Higher end value cables Audio Art Classic interconnects. I think, they are $100-$120 new for 1 meter pair. I tried them out of curiosity, excellent for the price, not harsh or bright, reasonably good balance and tone, good bass. If you get them just make sure to point ar... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Ypsilon Phaethon integrated is $25k retail. I have not heard it, but by all accounts it is great. Gryphon Diablo 300 should be able to drive very well many different speakers. | |

| Higher end value cables How much can you afford ? Do you need RCAs or XLRs ? How long ? And what is your equipment ?Cables are really difficult to recommend. Besides, do you want 'tone controls' cables or more neutral cables ? | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 You will hardly find anyone here with a serious rig who has solid state phono stage. Go with tubes, just make sure it is electrically matched with your preamp. I don't know what's available with two inputs within your price range, including used. ... | |

| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one pokey77, be careful. If you listen to Gryphon you are likely to want one. Definitely steer clear of Flemming's separates especially power amps. As he put it in one interview pointing to some monster amp of his - This will wake up dead Eskimo - . D... | |
| Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you? pokey77, if you like poweful big scale sound, take a listen of all Gryphon system if you have an opportunity.
