PC suggestions for a Gryphon Diablo 300
Thanks lak.   Robert at Cerious Technologies has always treated me really well.   I may give his SC and XLRs a try.  I've been impressed with his GE Powercords.    I've also always wanted to try Nordost as well....Pretty pricey though. 
PC suggestions for a Gryphon Diablo 300
Interesting comments on powercords having less of an impact on amplifiers versus other system components.     I currently have an Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp and VX-5 Twenty amp.   I've noticed that while the KX-5 is definitely affected by powercord c... 
PC suggestions for a Gryphon Diablo 300
Thanks for all of the advice williewonka!   Especially, the speaker cable comments.  I had no idea on that.  
Which one is the best INTEGRATED!!
I’m in the same spot.   I have Focal Sopra 3s and just ordered a Gryphon Diablo 300.  Should be here in a few weeks.   I’ll let you know how it sounds.   Hopefully there is good synergy. 
Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3
Hi Syk, Did you end up getting the Sopra 2s?   If so what amplifier did you settle with.   I just bought some Sopra 3s and I have a Ayre KX-5 twenty and VX-5 twenty running them.   Sounds very good but I wonder if something else would sound even b... 
Gryphon vs. D'Agostino
I'd love to hear any comments on this as well.    
Classe SSP-800 - Time to move on?
Thanks Ulmerc.  I decided to stick with my Classe SSP800 at least for the time being.   As I move toward a 4k player(oppo205) and a 4K projector, I'll definitely look in to the Crestron switcher you mentioned. 
Sopra 2 soundstage height
ejr1953,   I recently purchased a pair of Sopra 3s and am in the process of dialing them in.  I’ll try the way you have them set up and will focus them in front of my seated position.   Quick question...I too have a couple of jl audio subs(f112s) ... 
Rockport Atria or Avior in Houston to listen to ?
I live in Houston as well, but had to go to Dallas to hear them.  Hi-end Theater and Audio in Plano.  Vu the owner is a great guy. 
Classe SSP-800 - Time to move on?
Thanks jrn.   What do you mean by, "superior steering to the Classe"? 
Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre
Another +1 Ayre.   I know its not the 20, but the Ayre KX-R twenty I heard was absolutely beautiful sounding. 
Power cord for Classe gear.
I've tried several different power cords on my SSP800 over the years and found that the Core Power Technologies Equi-Core 300 has worked the best.   Really made a world of difference in music and movies.  Much blacker backgrounds.I cant really spe... 
Classe SSP-800 - Time to move on?
You definitely have a similar set up to mine.   I recently bought a Ayre QX-5 and basically have the Oppo act as a digital player for the new DAC when I'm listening to music--have a solid state hard drive connected to the Oppo as well as stream Ti... 
Classe SSP-800 - Time to move on?
pweg,Yes, I agree, I've listened to several mid priced Processors and it surprises me the difference in sounds quality; particularly in musicality.   Cary, Bryston, Classe, McIntosh, Theta, just to name a few are very nice sounding.   Expensive, o... 
Lesson Learned
Amen brother... I've had the same thing happen to me several times.  Its all about the system synergy.
