| What Speakers are you running with your Gryphon Amp? There are few who use the Diablo 300 with Marten Parker Duo speakers. Here is one. I will receive the Diablo 300 soon, speakers are Marten Duke 2 and Graham LS5/9. | |
| Diablo 333 vs 330 for SF Amati G5 Another factor which may not be important to you is the weight of the amp. I initially didn’t want to consider the 300 due to the size and weight (85 lbs) but finally caved in after much deliberation. The 333 is a whopping 112 lbs. | |
| Diablo 333 vs 330 for SF Amati G5 Obviously there are contradictory views on this one, Diablo 300 vs 333. My dealer told me although there is a noticeable difference between the 300 and 333, it’s not really significant, but there is a big difference going from the 333 to Essence p... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Thanks @bluethinker @inna Fingers crossed, I should be able to receive the amp by end of this month or early next month. I haven't adjusted my rack to accommodate the 300 and will need to get it done soon. I'll post impressions once I manage to l... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Yes, will try the Gryphon stock power cord as well. The Acrolinks are rather costly as I bought them about 4 or 5 years ago. | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? I am really happy with my Gryphon 120 - I’ve had (and have listened to) quite a few respected integrated amps, but I haven’t listened to the 300. It sounds as good as it gets in my tiny listening room, hooked up to Harbeth Super HL5plus XD - I l... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Give it some time to warm up/burn in. If it hasn’t been used for a while it should sound better after a few dozens of hours or perhaps even after a few hours, hard to know in advance. What power cord do you intend to use with it ? I would be... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Thanks all. I’m looking forward to it. It’s the costliest amp I’ve splurged on so far and although I have high expectations for it to outperform my current Luxman L-590AXII, I’m keeping them low to avoid disappointment. I’m fairly certain I would ... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? As an update, I’ve finally succumbed to the temptation. I was initially looking at the Diablo 120 but managed to secure a deal on a used but in immaculate condition Gryphon Diablo 300 with DAC module through a dealer after the owner upgraded to th... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. Thanks @swede58 Yes, agreed that the Diablo 300 is great value when compared to the much costlier 333. My dealer even told me that if he were to settle with an endgame amp in his own system, it would be the 300. I used to look at Pass Labs INT60 ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. @swede58 an update. I’ve finally succumbed to the temptation. I managed to secure a deal on a used but in immaculate condition Gryphon Diablo 300 with DAC module through a dealer after the owner upgraded to the Essence. It won’t be too soon until... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? @bluethinker I’ll be using the Marten Duke 2 with the new(likely used) amp. I also own the Graham LS5/9 but have the Naim amps on these. I occasionally will rotate the amps on the speakers to see how they would perform together. A dealer offered ... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? @arafiq thanks. I don't have any doubts the Vitus is excellent, though I have a preference for amps which are not too huge or heavy. The Diablo 300 is actually the limit for me, 120 more ideal. The SS-101 would be too much for me, not only the wei... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? @bluethinker thanks again for the useful response, much appreciated. From your description it appears that the Diablo 120 may be voiced slightly to warm or soft in the high frequencies since it matches well with speakers which have a dominant or h... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Thanks @arafiq . Choices, choices.. 😅 Do you mean the RI-101 integrated? SS-101 is the power amp. I’ve earlier narrowed it down to either Vitus or Gryphon. I am aware vitus is also very good. But the price is significantly higher especially the S... |
