| Gryphon Diablo 300 When I had my Gryphon Diablo 120, I tried the input which bypassed the preamp in the 120. I used the volume control on my Rockna Wavedream Signature Balanced. The sound was significantly better using the Rockna and bypassing the 120 preamp. Lat... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? @mglik AGD are the ONLY amps in 50 years in that grab me in such a way that is near impossible to not listen. Now listening, it is very difficult to write these few words.The AGD Audions did and continue to do the same for me. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? A couple of weeks ago, a dealer brought a Tambaqui over for the afternoon. I compared it to my Rockna Wavedream Signature Balanced. Both were used to drive my AGD Audions directly with no preamp. In my system, the Rockna was significantly bette... | |
| Pass Labs XA25 + Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 - A Good Combination? I had the XA-25 with the Sonus Faber Elipsa SE's that I had at the time. I found the XA-25 to be very transparent but very fatiguing to listen to for longer periods. I added the Rumba 1.3 in an attempt to tame the Pass. It helped a lot, but ult... | |
| Anyone with experience with the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC? Nitewulf, I believe that the Rockna Wavedream Signature Balanced dac is fully balanced, but you might want to ask Rockna or a Rockna dealer to be sure. | |
| Pass, Bryston or Accuphase for Magnepans? "What was it you didn’t like about the Bryston?A friend of mine tried both the Diablo 300 and Progression int and preferred the Dag."Swede58, while it has been some time since I made the comparison of the Bryston 4B3 and Gryphon Diablo 120, the Gr... | |
| Pass, Bryston or Accuphase for Magnepans? I tried the Bryston 4B3 with my 3.7i's. It was not particularly good. I had a Pass XA-25. It was not able to adequately drive the Maggies and did not sound good with them. I acquired a Gryphon Diablo 120 which did an excellent job. But, my AGD... | |
| Anyone with experience with the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC? Just had the Tambaqui here for an evaluation. I preferred my Rockna Wavedream Signature dac. It also has a superb lossless volume control. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House I purchased a pair of AGD Audions several months ago. I could not be more pleased with them. I have been an audiophile for nearly 50 years. Having had financial interests in 2 high end audio stores, I have been able hear dozens of high end amps ... | |

| Musica Pristina A Cappella III Streamer ? The Musica Pristina is I2S compatible with the PS Audio, Denafrips, and Rockna. Musica Pristina is a great company! | |
| Power Cord Upgrade for Inakustik 3500P? I upgraded from the 2502 to the Reference 2404 Air power cord. It was a nice improvement and well worth the extra cost. I have had several power conditioners in the past. The Shunyata Denali 6000S was good, but the Inakustik 3500P is extraordin... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only I am using my 866 driving Magnepan 1.7i's with a pair of REL Carbon Limited subs. They blend together seamlessly. I have had several audiophiles over to listen extensively. Non of them could hear any discontinuity between the Maggies and the REL... | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs Pass Labs XA25 @ddafoe I have owned both the XA-25 and 30.8. I much preferred the 30.8. I did not like the XA-25 and found it fatiguing to listen to for any extended time period even with a tube preamp. My speakers were the Sonus Faber Elipsa SE's. YMMV |
