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... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@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 ... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@kairosman , good question, TBH I’m interested in the 333 but if it’s more than a bit better I will probably go for it - but only if it has that dark tone as I said. But I have to say I’m very happy with the 300 in my current system, especially wi... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@lalitk I agree, the outboard DAC has the advantage. But I think there is a caveat. Had I put basic level cables on the DAC I think the Tambaqui may still have won but I think it would have been REALLY close. I put an Audioquest Dragon XLR on it, ... 
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?
@kairosman , agreed the 300 is fantastic. Love mine, which is really why I’m curious about how Gryphon could have improved it. I see @jays_audio_lab mentioned Gryphon is sending a 333 for him to try; I am looking forward to that. Will be interest... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@audphile1 I’ve used Roon when I had the MU1, and still can with Innuos. But the Innuos Sense app sounds superior so I use that exclusively now. I’ve not tried the Tambaqui as a Roon End Point, no. I guess to do that properly, I’d need another (t... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Update! After this intense journey, I did sell the Grimm, due to a short-term financial need. I kept my Tambaqui and am continuing to enjoy it immensely. I have to say it did make more of an impact, in my system, than the MU1 did. But all that mea... 
can subwoofers make things worse?
In my case two Rel Carbon Specials slightly defocused midrange vocals. I tried everything - repositioning 1000X or more, and following all guidelines with respect to volume and crossover settings. Every time I thought I had nailed the setup, I rea... 
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
@bigfatpaulie , I own the Tambaqui and for a while I didn’t quite know how I felt about it. But I was putting it in standby all the time, which was my mistake. I realized that to sound its best, it takes quite a few hours - maybe 10 or more. Not ...
