| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. I have Focal Scala Evos and use Wireworld Eclipse 8 with Platinum Eclipse 8 interconnects. I agree with the others that they are laid back and I think they match well with Focal. I’ve tried Nordost Tyre 2, Clarity, Tara Labs One, Clarus Crimson... | |
| Best Amplifier or Integrated for Focal Diablo Evo I upgraded from the Sopra 3 to the Scala EVO last year and at that time bought a Octave v80se with the super black box. I also owned the Diablo 300 at the same time so I was able to compare the two. At the end of the day I stuck with the Octave ... | |
| Best Amplifier or Integrated for Focal Diablo Evo I had the Diablo 300 with my Sopra 3s and thought it sounded very good. I never noticed it being dark but the Focal tweeters can be a bit hot anyway sometimes.I now own Octave gear with the super black box. I personally feel it is more to my li... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. thieliste,Have you been able to listen to the Mephisto yet? Out of curiosity, what about the antileon made you prefer that over the other Gryphons you listened to? I’m interested to hear how the sound changes as you move up their line.thanks | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Backup Power Battery Sales for the past 20 years and still going. Got in to car audio as a youth, then focused on home theater, and now finally two channel. Love the hobby!!! | |
| Is Classe SSP-800 Worth Repairing? I owned the SSP800 for several years and really enjoyed its musical nature(a little warmer) even for movies. I would have it repaired unless it is really expensive.Good Luck! | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match I had the exact same system you have. Diablo 300 with N10 and Sopra 3s. I did find it to be a bit edgy and intense with certain music but not like you are describing. I had wireworld eclipse 7 and never used silver cables. I have EVO Scala’... | |

| Chord Dave - Missing soundstage width I own a Dave as well and I’ve found that different powercords impact its sound. More so than other components in my system. I also agree with adg101 and ricred1s comments. | |
| Vitus versus Gryphon nasaman,I owned the Diablo 300 for a while and have listened to the Vitus sia-030 on Focals like I own. I think that supermerio’s comments above are “dead on” on all counts. I personally think that if you have neutral speakers that the Vitus si... | |
| What processor to go with Classe 5300 When I owned a Classe SSP-800 I loved it. It should be a perfect match for your system. You should be able to find some on Audiogon.Good luck! | |
| Integrated Tube Amp for Focal Sopra 3 Hi bilaltata,I’ve seen the Octave v70se and v80se listed here on Audiogon occasionally. The v70s going for less than $5k. Also, Ive had dealers tell me that VAC integrateds sound really good with sopras also, but I’ve never heard them together i... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp for Focal Sopra 3 I second the Octave....I just sold my sopra 3s and moved up the line to the Scalas. I owned both a Gryphon Diablo 300 and an Octave v80se with a super black box that I swapped in and out for the past 6 months. I really liked both a lot but ended... | |
| Shunyata Zitron or Helix for Hydra lake_eleven, I’ve had an Python alpha helix connected to my Hydra 6 for years and I think it sounds great. I haven’t heard the cobra zitron but people have said that the zitron is more neutral while the Python alpha is warmer sounding. | |
| PS Audio for Home-Theater I agree with Erik. Projectors use a lot of current as well. |
