| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. The additional detail that is starting to come through is just adding to that “texture” effect to the sounds voices and instruments that I referred to. Why this is so satisfying is that this detail is so fine-grained that it takes on a satin-smoo... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Hi All,At about 36 hours in, the Diablo sounds much as it did before, but definitely with a bit more detail and sound-staging. So that I can detect the differences, I’ve been cycling through the same 25 tracks or so.I didn’t mean to imply that th... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. No, I have a new AudioQuest Hurricane Hi-Current power cord now. Rshad said he had trouble actually hearing much difference between power cords with the Diablo. Maybe because the power regulation is very good so the PC doesn’t seem to do much? I w... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Thanks inna rshad. Inna, yes, I have an Audioquest Diamond USB cable and yes it definitely makes a noticeable difference over a standard cheap USB cable. It is 1.5m long. I’ve never heard that it is better to have a USB cable LONGER than 5ft. Are ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Thanks Inna, good advice. My local dealer is really good about loaning demo cables. Regarding Van den Hul, I've always liked them as they tended to smooth out rough edges of harshness in an even way while still being engaging. However, with the... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Thanks rshad. How did you find the burn-in period with your Diablo? How many hours in did the sound start to stabilize?As I said, I’d be perfectly happy if this is as good as it is going to get, but I’m just wondering what to expect. Thanks! | |
| Amplifier and Digital Streamer on Single 15A Circuit? Awesome advice, thanks all. I think the Diablo straight in the wall will be the way to go, based on what most have said. I’ll upgrade my two wall outlets as well. Possibly with PS Audio outlets which are inexpensive.The Furman and Nordost option... | |
| Amplifier and Digital Streamer on Single 15A Circuit? Thanks for this. Looks like this strip like this will help clean up some AC noise at a low cost. One question is whether the strip would help isolate my amp from the digital streamer and noise it creates on the circuit? | |
| Macintosh c52 with Bryston 7b3 I was considering a C2600 / 14B3 combo so somewhat along the lines of what the OP is looking at. I had purchased, on a 30 day trial basis, a 4B3 and brought a demo 2600 home to try with it.I really liked the 4B3, a lot. Very full rich dynamic so... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Hi xsparky the Torus sounds interesting. Others have said to plug the Diablo direct to the wall as conditioners sometimes can’t provide enough juice for the Diablo’s large current needs. Including advice higher up in this thread. I also saw an ... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Ordered the Diablo 300 today (finally), with the DAC module. Dealer offered me a demo phono board that may or may not have ever been used, at half price, so I accepted. The rest will be brand new.I’ve also ordered an InnuOS Zenith Mk III player,... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord Worth It? Over Audioquest Hurricane? rshad I hear you..... I’ll probably go with the Hurricane for the Gryphon too, for the same reasons. I’m sure marketing folks will be using our posts to validate their assumptions on the mindset of HiFi enthusiasts. I felt very self-conscious w... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord Worth It? Over Audioquest Hurricane? Thanks rshad0000. Did you hear any difference at all between the stock Gryphon cord and the Hurricane for the Diablo? Do you think it is even worth getting the Hurricane, or are you suggesting I should not bother and just stay with the stock Gryp... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord Worth It? Over Audioquest Hurricane? Thanks ron17, that’s a good idea. I was hoping to get the cables the same time as the rest of my system which I don’t have yet. That way, everything will burn in together. However I agree with you - I should probably be patient and do some test... | |
| AQ JitterBug with high-end music server/streamer and high-end DAC? That's kind of what I expected. I'll give the JitterBug a shot just because, as I have one already and once I get my higher end DAC and streamer, why not. |
