| Spend more money on the amp or the pre-amp? Yeah. But let's extend it to $8000, what then? | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Erik, thank you very much, just please be quiet here. | |
| Current speaker threads are boring I can't afford it either for now, even used. This doesn't mean that I am not interested. Amp and analog threads often do discuss high level equipment. | |
| Is this for real? The price is good if you build half a million dollar system, and there is quite a number of people who do or consider doing it. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? Another question, though it may not be a question for those who seek simple solution that doesn't take a lot of space, can you do better with separates? I am not sure, probably not, especially if you need DAC. If not..there might be a slight chanc... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? Diablo 300 - $16000DAC - $6000Phono - $2250Plus sales tax, I presume. | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo I am indifferent to ARC, as I am to most participants here. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? I just checked with the US distributor. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? Ypsilon phono stage is $26k not $35k as I previously posted, plus a few thousands for step-up transformer. I think, Dimitros could find a way to add phono module to his Phaethon integrated, like Gryphon and others do because unless you listen to m... | |
| which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks? If I was an amp designer I would only consider integrated and mono block separates. Why be somewhere in the middle? Same approach as audiophile - couple of more integrated upgrades and monos after that, funds permitting. The only exception that I ... | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo Yeah, I just suggested a more radical approach. At this level the service should be exemplary, without it it is even more overpriced stuff.Source including phono stage must be very strong, cables and power cords too. Cables are components as well,... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? Besides, Diablo 300 is about $16k retail without phono or dac and Ypsilon Phaeton is about $25k, if it makes a difference. Diablo 120 is about $11k.Dartzeel calls the volume knob a "pleasure button". Sounds quite perverse to me. Anyway, power butt... | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh You could consider replacing Cardas with something with more balance and resolution. | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo Additional thought is what doesn't sound great to your ears with analogue is worthless. I would suggest upgrading the turntable too, by the way. | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo I'd say get rid of them both. Since you prefer tubes go after them, just not tubes in ARC. Your hesitation reflects, I think, what I said - you don't want any of those for different reasons. Good deal or not is irrelevant, you have the means to bu... |
