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. 
Krell Customer Service
mgattmch,Yes, this is the only problem I’ve ever had with the amplifier.   Works great and I expect to use it for years. 
Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75
Audiobrian,What preamp will you use with your amp?  Will it be the matching pre from Gryphon or Accuphase?Thx Ryan 
Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75
No offense taken.  Audiobrian - I agree with you and think you are dead on.   The Essence, even though expensive, is at least within my price range and will more than likely have those smooth class A highs, with the Gryphon iron fisted bass contro... 
Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75
Sorry I've never heard the Accuphase before, but I really like the sound of Gryphon, so I guess that would be my vote. (I own the Diablo 300 but have heard the coliseum multiple times.)  Rich and very transparent with a large soundstage.Really exc... 
CPT equi=core 1800, can you place vertically?
I’ve been using mine this way for about 18 months and I haven’t seen any issues. 
Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800
I replaced my Classe SSP800 with a Lyngdorf MP50.   I love the Lyngdorf room correction and neutral presentation for movies; however, I truly miss my SSP800.  What a wonderfully musical processor.  I feel it was able to pull me in to movies better... 
Anyone having problems with their Gryphon Diablo 300 remote?
I haven’t experienced any issues either. 
Amp for Sopra 2
I have an older Krell Theater Amplifier Standard that works really well with my sopra 3s and matching center.  You can probably find these at a good price used.
