| Importance of power cable for Turntable? Power cord is an extension of the power supply not of the wall wires. Good well-matched cord will improve the performance of anything that has it. If you can't hear it something is wrong. At higher level one can clearly hear that different cords h... | |
| Moderately priced audio Well, I don't have a single component in the system that cost me over $1k, either new or used, including cables and power cords. I count turntable/tonearm/cartridge as three components. But there are a lot of them, the components, so the total cos... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. I understand the move from Gryphon integrated to VAC separates. VAC and Lamm separates are first rate. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. I heard an opinion that Diablo 120 sounds even better than Diablo 300 at low and moderate levels with more sensitive speakers. Just a thought for those considering Diablo 300. | |
| diablo 300 vs arc ref 5se + pass labs 350.5 - anyone has opinions to share Gryphon Diablo 300 is a hot selling amp these days. But it is not for everyone and it has passive preamp section, something that I personally do not like much. I strongly prefer active preamp. But it is Gryphon and it is great.Pass won't have spee... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. nyev, I don’t, but I think the full retail price of VIP 1 Meter pair of interconnects is something like US $2500, so speaker cables should probably be $4k-$5k depending on length. But I don’t guarantee that I am correct, and prices might change. S... | |
| What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1? audiotroy, you are absolutely right about many people changing speakers without first making real effort to make them sound right. Yes, not only electronics but even a single pair of cables can make or break the sound. I could easily demonstrate i... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. No returns - NO SALE !!! And 1/5th retail is BS. Stay away from this company.If you don't want to follow my recommendation and try Gryphon and you still think you can get away with less expensive cables, give Wywires a listen, Silver or Platinum ... | |
| Replacing Vintage Spendors is not as easy as I thought Yeah, keep your speakers. Perhaps upgrading your source and/or cables would make more sense.If you want to try something different - not British sound - I suggest you try Kharma. Used, new is too expensive. No idea how they would work with your am... | |
| What is proper ratio of money spent on amp/preamp/integrated vs speakers? 1:1? As ebm said, it's a tough one. In real world you have to think dollars, in addition to sound quality, unless cost is no or almost no object to you. I'll first take Elizabeth's example. Her speakers are not performing their best, to make it happen ... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers I am happy that you are happy. Now go look in the mirror. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. https://gryphon-audio.dk/shop/cables/vip-reference-series/ I would probably add Purist 30th Ann. USB cable to those and that should do it. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. I would think that at this point upgrading the source could be more important than speaker cables. To Aurender streamer, perhaps.Flemming strongly prefers pure silver or silver alloy cables, and he hardly ever thinks of bargains. nyev, you got a s... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers Powered subwoofer is a stupid idea too, Garcia. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Anyone tried to put additional gain stage upstream, in between source and the Diablo ? I mean active preamp, either tube or transisto, not just phono stage. Match would be highly important in terms of impedances, gain and musicality. Diablo's prea... |
