| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario? Tim,Talk with Downunder (lots of posts in AGon and very knowledgable). He owns Strads and uses CJ Premier 8s which he had CJ overhaul 12+ months ago with Teflon capacitors used in their current ref series. and and ART III. I have Strads and use Gr... | |
| Nordost Quantum Technology Products FWIW, i have owned the Nordost Thor and am in the midst of upgrading to qx4 having heard it. the best way i can describe it is that certain passages within complex music suddenly become even more "understandable" and clear. For example, on certain... | |
| Gryphon Colosseum- How good? Ron,thanks for your post...few people are as experienced as you in Gryphon amps from the looks of the many different models you've owned/used. How would you highlight the differences between Antileon stereo and mono? I own the original Antileon (n... | |
| Most NEUTRAL class A mono's Hi Azjake,congrats...i have not heard the Sunrays, but have read they are phenomenal. There is someone on AGon who owns Tidals and displays his system here. he uses Gryphon Colosseum Monos. I have a good friend who also has his system on here (and... | |
| Best Digital cable to match Zanden 5000 DAC Hi Rocc1007FWIW, i use a cardas neutral reference. frankly, i do not know the Nirvana but given the company that you are looking at...you may already have surpassed my cardas. i will say that i agree with the direction you seem to be taking...open... | |
| Amplifier Experience Gryphon Pass Lamm BAT Hamburg City,Speaking of my own experience, I have a deep respect for the 402...I much prefer it to the 300-watt version. I prefer my Gryphon Antileon to both, and find it mates better to my ear in my system which is CJ Act 2 and SF Strads with Za... | |
| Amplifier Experience Gryphon Pass Lamm BAT Hamburgcity, I use a CJ Act 2 and Antileon. I like the combination a lot. It bettered my CJ tube amp by a wide margin on all areas...most particularly dynamics, low-end control and soundstage depth and size. Limitless dynamics. Enjoy the search!!!... | |
| Gryphon Antileon Signature technical problems Hi Kaifupaddy,I believe I am the person Blindjim referred to. I bought my Antileon s/hand...but agreed to have it shipped by seller to Gryphon direct. It is over 10 yrs old, and I play it every day. All good for over a year now since I bought it..... | |
| Multibit DACs in new or newish CD Players Speaking for myself, I was curious to see you mention Zanden. I own the Zanden DAC Signature (s/hand). I compared it to DCS Elgar Plus, Emm CDSA, Wadia top of line (from 2 yrs ago), ARC CD7, Krell 505, Weiss Medea. To my ears, I prefered it for it... | |
| Review: Millennium M-CD-Mat Tweak I just have started using the CD Millenium mat in my system. My observations are similar to those of monobloke and coolhand.Perhaps a little more positive:ProsI liked the fact that on complex orchestral, the various instruments are much better del... | |
| What's a good power cord for conrad-johnson CT5? I use PAD Dominus Ferox on mine and I love it. Main thing was a bigger soundstage, finer detail, fuller sound and very natural/effortless...but I agree that it seemed less dependent on PC than other components. My Gryphon Antileon benefited more..... | |
| Using Power Conditioners/Distribu with Amplifiers I agree with all including Stingreen that PC's make a big difference. Detail, power, Soundstage...and how relaxed the sound can become...less like reproduction and more like someone just in your room playing. But these differences and benefits bec... | |
| Using Power Conditioners/Distribu with Amplifiers NoelpastorI do not have experience with Oyaide...but a good audiophile friend just said the same as you. Definitely worth doing. Thanks also your own experiences...as I acclimate to what I am hearing with Gryphon going thru Nordost, it is helpful ... | |
| Using Power Conditioners/Distribu with Amplifiers Hi Eniac26,I just decided to keep a Nordost Thor...I was originally using my transport/dac/pre only. I decided to stick my Gryphon Antileon amp into it just to see...so many people put big amps into the wall but I wanted to hear for myself.For now... | |
| Review: Oppo BDP 83 CD Player Ok...update past 350 hours...I have not A/B'd Zanden vs Oppo Modd'ed. But I did get some excellent advice that isolation helps the transport. Before buying anything, I did the "cheap fix" isolation to test it out. It worked.- 3 tennis balls undern... |
