| Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records? I always seek out best pressing of what I listen to, however at times even the best pressing doesn’t sound good, to put it mildly, so I have to live with that. It happens that at times I am in a particular mood for a good sound, then I listen to w... | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? Yes of course every cable is important but not necessarilly equally important in each particular system. Often the closer to the source the more important. I am not talking about power cords now.When upgrading, most of us cannot afford upgrading a... | |
| Burning/breaking in new equipment? No no no, I have no idea, it is just that you never really know until you do.Yeah, just leave it playing something covering the entire audible frequency range. Be gentle with the speakers. It's like breaking in new high performance car engine, ver... | |
| Burning/breaking in new equipment? It may be a few hundred hours of burn-in time, it may be less, you will hear it. Probably 100-200 for cables. While everything is burning in do not pay much attention to the sound - the process is often non-linear, it might sound okay one day and ... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? We can go on forever about it, can't we ? | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one denon1, I have Neptune interconnects and like them a lot too. But I am going to give a try to an almost unknown in the US brand - Tchernov Cable from Russia. Vladimir Lamm uses them now with his amps, and some Germans are completely crazy about th... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Yup. Check out the misc. section of this forum, I posted Gryphon prices there. They did reply next day.Diablo 300 is $16k, optional phono is $2.2, optional dac is $6k or so, I think. | |
| Switching to solid state amp? In addition, Diablo 300 DAC option is much more expensive, and you can have both phono stage and DAC in it, Diablo 120 is either/or only. | |
| Switching to solid state amp? Russians have been making great tubes for ages. They still do. There are also excellent Chinese tubes.As for the future of tube equipment, I don't know. It might be doomed, it might be not. There are enough good tubes for our lifetime, though, jus... | |
| Switching to solid state amp? david_ten, this is just my tentative assumption, not based on any experience or science but only on my impression in differences between the designer's presentation of both. Flemming Rasmussen obviously likes his Diablo 300 and considers it his ac... | |
| Switching to solid state amp? Octave has an excellent reputation, including their integrateds.As I understand it, and I might be wrong, Gryphon Diablo 120 is not quite Diablo 300 only less powerful. The latter is a reference level integrated. You would want to listen to them b... | |
| Why do turntables sound different? Problem is always those who buy things. If it's not good enough - don't buy it. It's not water or food, you know.But, some manufacturers are very good, so it's not all bad. | |
| Sanders 10e No, not like headphones. I better audition them if I have a chance. | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one denon1, I envy you, that amp should be a beast with finesse. Yes, please tell us your impressions but after at least 100 more hours of burning in. I have no idea how well your cables will work with the Gryphon. How long do your cables have to be ?... |
