| Gryphon Diablo 300 Unchained Has anyone compared the Diablo 300 to 120? I could afford the 300 but the weight is bordering me. Nowadays I prefer amps which I able to carry alone, unaided and the 120 is much more appealing in this respect. Assuming the speakers do not presen... | |
| Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ? Sorry, I have the same question actually so I hope you don’t mind if I ask here as well. I’ve been looking at two brands only, the Gryphon and Vitus although there are few more. The Vitus especially SIA-030 is considerably more expensive even thou... | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? Yes, I have thought about the Diablo 120 last year, but the Diablo 300 was said to be noticeably or significantly better than the 120 and was recommended over the 120. I have pretty good amps in the system at the moment and actually consider my cu... | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? Those two are already about my limit, still I won’t buy them (at the moment) as the money would have eaten up a chunk of my retirement savings.. Also, I prefer amps which I can carry alone, unaided. The SIA-030 and Diablo 333 will require two ... | |

| Which Harbeths? Thanks for sharing the experience @bjesien surely useful. There isn’t much comparison between the C7ES3 XD, M30.2 XD and 30.2 40th AE. Nevertheless, I am aware the C7ES3 XD is noticeably better than the original C7ES3 which sounds warmer and lacks... | |
| Furutech PC's? Thanks @audphile1 Watched the video. Interesting. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD I realize the OP of this thread has settled down with BAT vk3500 and moved to the T+A PA 3100 HV after a while, instead of going with the initial plan of Accuphase and Luxman. As an owner of the Luxman L-590AXII and ex-owner of Harbeth SHL5+, I fi... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @bataras those are some serious overkill amps for the Harbeth P3ESR in my opinion. Anyway to each his own. If I"m not mistaken, you are using your McIntosh C2700 with the Accuphase and Luxman power amps so it's not exactly an accurate representati... | |
| Which Harbeths? Having heard harbeth 30.2 40th anniversary and Graham Audio ls 5/9 side by side for a few months, I can say that I love the BBC sound and I really love the Graham Audio execution better. If you like the treble of the 30.2, you don’t know what you... | |
| Furutech PC's? FWIW it’s not all about Furutech as I use a mix of Acrolink power cords and interconnects, Wireworld digital cable and Chord speaker cables in my system, apart from Furutech power cords. It’s the combination that matters. | |
| Furutech PC's? Thanks @audphile1 for the thoughts, appreciated. I can’t refute your experience on the weird coloration with Furutech power cords or speaker cables but have read some of these comments several years ago on whatsbestforum I believe. I have no probl... | |
| Furutech PC's? @audphile1 how do you find the Furutech Dss-4.1 speaker cables with totl furutech plugs? I am actually done with the system but have always admired these speaker cables. The only hindrance that is keeping me away from the Dss-4.1 is the high price. | |
| Furutech PC's? I have the Furutech DPS4.1 with FI-50 NCF (R) plugs and can recommend these. The plugs are more important than the cable and I don't use anything lesser than the FI-50 NCF (R) on the DPS4.1. Initially I bought the DPS4.1 which came with older and ... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… You may explore Graham. I switched from Harbeth SHL5+ to Graham LS5/9. Another option is Rogers but they have limited models. |
