| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Not 100% sure of the final prices including the power cords. But if look up these particular cables, you will see that all of these except the Frey are essentially one rung down from the top of the line from three top brands. I should point out ... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Given the comparatively low price point of the very highly rated Clarus Crimson, I’d love to test these but not possible near me I’m afraid. | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent To expand on my prior comments, Audioquest’s Firebird/Hurricane sound, to me in my system, is lush but somehow restrained in a way that I can’t quite put my finger on, with absolutely incredible bass. Maybe the bass is a bit too incredible. In c... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Luckily, I’ve had enough experiences trying very expensive gear that I thought sounded terrible in some way or other. So I feel like price is not a bias. My dealer actually suggested I try the Frey as well as the Valhalla 2’s, as he thought the ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Wow, incredible findings on my cable testing so far! I’m posting my results in the Cables forum, under this post: Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Hi Bubb, I think you are in for a shock as to how much better your system will sound after proper breakin. Like I said my B&W's sounded absolutely terrible for the first 250 hours or so, and then things suddenly clicked. Another thing I noti... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Bubb how many hours do you think you have on your speakers? If you are not close to at least 250 hours, you've no idea how much the sound will improve. Mine took about 285 hours before they sounded not terrible, and it happened suddenly when thi... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. No worries, this is still about how the Diablo sounds with our respective speakers so it is still valid for the thread I think.To my ear, my 803 D2’s sound like a totally unrelated to the D3 line. The entire presentation is different. I’ve prett... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Maybe you should ask the Levinson dealer if you can bring your Diablo in to the brick room to try with their 803 D3’s?It’s a bit of work but you would get valuable results you can learn from. If I were in your position I’d start there. Offer to ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. One other thing - I really don’t think you need more power. More power will not give you more bass at the volumes you listen at and with your room size. And, the Diablo is known for supplying massive power especially at lower impedences. It is of... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Sorry to hear you are disappointed in your system’s bass. Just be careful not to overcompensate on the amp for a deficiency that is in all likelihood with your speakers. Also I’m not sure you are actually supposed to “feel” that kick drum on The... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Listened to “The Chain” again. When you say the kick drum at the start of the track, do you mean before or after the bass kicks in? Before the bass kicks in I’d say I can just start to “feel” the kick drum in the chest at a volume setting of 27. A... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. If I were you I'd definitely just try it out, especially if I already had a sub! But I agree in theory it won't help add slam to mid-bass or add warmth.Krell is known for having a ton of bass, and from what I've read (and observed), Gryphon bass ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. I don’t have experience with subwoofers but I suspect that adding a high end one may get you the best of both worlds.... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Bubb I think your B&W’s are fantastic and the D3 line offers so much more in the way of detail and soundstage. Just not as warm as I like and not enough slam for me in particular. That goes for the 802 as well, so I don’t think it has to do ... |
