| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Thanks Microstrip! Appreciate the warning! I am set up for the audition anyway, so it will be a good education for me. I am hopeful DM100 will be for me as I'm told its darker, more tube-like. We'll see! Will post!Lloyd | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Auditioned the CJ350 today...just to be thorough. Very powerful, impressive dynamic range but does not force its power thru the music...delicate passages just get louder while maintaining their delicacy. The music takes on more brilliance in its v... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Downunder,I am scheduled to audition Gryphon Antileon Signature and DM100 next Saturday. I have spoken with dealer who is familiar with all 3 (incl Colosseum). DM100 and Antileon Signature are supposedly very close (one A'goner who owns Signatu... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Wow...thanks Downunder...now that's you, Mihalis, Schorly, and two audio stores who don't even sell Gryphon)-- all of whom i respect who all concur that Gryphon Class A SS is unbelievable, even for those who love tubes. Will be interesting to hea... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Oh, BTW...you want to go to Ultra Audio website...Jeff Fritz reviewed the Antileon Signature back in '04 when it first came out...he used terms like "colors/tonality"...'tube mids/uppers and SS bass'...note in future reviews of other amps, he also... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Downunder,I would be very surprised if our respective tastes in sound quality were not quite similar. Each of our entire systems share a very similar lineage/DNA. No surprise, I am inclined to agree with your statement above...though auditionin... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Downunder!Great to hear from you!...cannot wait to hear your impressions of the great Gryphon.I have spoken with Schorly, Mihalis both of whom I know personally, and also a major hifi store owner here in London with whom I've bought most of my ... | |

| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Rtn1 and Bvdiman,Thanks. As you can see, my thinking has evolved towards Class A sound SS while still including some high powered tubes. i have heard great things about FM Acoustics, in large part due to the many A'philes who have praised them ... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Thanks Kejser and Rawawjakaj. At the moment, Gryphon, Wavac are high on my list. So are Lamm and Berning. I need to find a place in London, UK that actually carries Lamm. Should be auditioning this month! thanks again and happy new year. Lloyd | |

| Gryphon Colosseum vs Antileon Signature stereo Hi Schorly! Nice to hear from you again...Merry Xmas! I spoke with 'Mihalis' whose system is on AGon..."This is not a sound system"...check it out. anyway, he told me the Antileon Sig is an older model and is darker than the new Colisseum which he... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Thanks, Downunder. Cannot wait! i too may hear in mid to late Jan. Wavacs, Gryphons, LP275s are on the top of the list at the moment. Bernings are also still a possibility. | |
