Cable Break In for the Naysayers
I somehow doubt this thread will be the one to put a rest to the same words and arguments (on both sides!) that has been raging on since I think the 1970's. Funny how the passion has been so fierce through the decades. What would be productive is... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
For those of you who have experienced cable break in first hand, have any of you noticed a cyclical pattern of sounding closed up, followed by being more open, back to being closed sounding, etc - with each cycle being different in terms of how op... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
I’ve just had three demo Audioquest Dragon power cords my system for 5 weeks and my system was absolutely firing on all cylinders.  Just now replaced the power cords with brand new Dragons which I purchased.  Performance of my system took a truly ... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@antigrunge2 , I guess the combined DAC/Streamer/Server/High Precision clock approach hasn’t been contemplated on this thread really. As I’ve been focused on testing separate servers and outboard dedicated DACs. That’s an interesting question - i... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@62truck , also, to put the scale of improvement into perspective, I had recently upgraded from Audioquest Hurricane to Dragon power cords on 3 of 4 of my source components with the 4th component having a Firebird powering it.  The improvement was... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@62truck , I think my tweaks fall into the category of, it works for me and may or may not work in your scenario as they are dependent on a variety of variables.  But for what it’s worth, I switched from using Herbie’s Tenderfeet under my componen... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
Due to some recent vibration control and other tweaks in my Diablo 300 and my system is sounding far better than it ever has before….   Really sounds quite stunning now, more natural, flowing and higher resolution.  I’m excited by the potential of... 
Borresen Loudspeakers
To those who have actually heard these new speakers, including the OP, you all seem to have the same reaction after hearing them, which is to say they sound fantastic and they sound bigger than bookshelves. Your word means 100X more than others, a...

@kairosman that dealer is no longer carrying Gryphon for some reason or other.  Very odd.  
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@62truck is your 333 any closer to you yet?  I’m impatient for you lol…. What country are you based in?  Just wondering when the 333’s are actually shipping in volume.  Seems some stores are getting them in finally.  
Results with Shunyata Venom Defender
@andrewkelley , I don’t recall exactly how long I had it plugged in prior to my listening session, but it was definitely a good while. I had it for a few days. Funny you should revive this thread. I was just now thinking that I have pretty strong... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@62truck , thanks and looking forward to your impressions, which possibly will be the first on Audiogon for the 333!  Might have started a competition now, lol…  
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@62truck , thank you and glad my sharing of experiences has been informative.  Very happy to hear you have a 333 en route!  Looking forward to your impressions.  What is the rest of your system? I remain convinced that the that Audioquest Dragon ... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@swede58 if my math and pricing info is right, the Essence Pre/Power would be 75% more expensive than a Diablo 333 (without optional modules). So in theory you are right, not suggesting the price differential is anything meaningful but I’d expect ... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
There is now a 20min dealer recording posted of the Diablo 333 playing with Audisi Estelon XB Diamond speakers.  I think this is the second recording of the 333 to be posted online (first was from a show and with background noise).  For what it’s ...
