| Help with XLR ICs. @ryder I’m also interested in the Tyr2. I compared a Shunyata Alpha v2 XLR ($3500) against my Synergistic Accelerators between my Esoteric K-05XD and Diablo 300 and preferred the $1200 Accelerators. Very system dependant. | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @audphile1 I’m interested in the Tyr2 XLR. How would you describe the bass, is it on the lean side of neutral? I tried the Shunyata Alpha v2 XLR against my Synergistic Accelerators but found them too bright and they also lacked bass impact. | |
| Magnepan “X” upgrade program @arnold_h I’m curious as what they could be upgrading as to almost double the cost of the speaker? The MG___x program The general idea is to take the existing design of a given speaker, and simply, almost one-for-one, replace all of the c... | |
| Accuphase Experiences @rsf507 +3 My experience with Accuphase (E800, A48) is that they are ”polite” and uninvolving. | |
| Esoteric K03XD the line is going through a new se update @audiotroy The K-05XD was released a year ago and already an se-update???!!! | |
| Esoteric K03XD Anyone compared the K-03XD to the K-05XD? | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated @eclumsden Get the new Diablo 333 (with phono stage module) and be done. | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @nyev I will probably get a chance to hear them side by side when the importer gets the 333, hopefully very soon. They also have the Essence, Antileon and Mephisto. In my part of the world the 333 is almost 50% more expensive than a D300 and th... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? I’m sure the 333 is a bit better/different than the 300, but how much better can it be without being better than the Essence pre/amp……. | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated I was considering the Pass int250 and Dag Prog Int but finally decided on the Gryphon Diablo 300 which I preferred over the other two. I like the slight ”dark” quality to the presentation and the bass is awesome; powerful and articulate with great... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @curiousjim Bought the A/C Master coupler round 97 for less than $400 If memory serves. | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler. Still have it on my Diablo 300. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @thieliste Yes it is system dependent. Thiel speakers can sound a bit bright and aggressive with the ”wrong” amp. Both Diablo 300 and Vitus 101mkII are great sounding amps….but perhaps not the best match with Thiel speakers. | |
| Amplifier Specification questions All amps. P=R*I^2=R*4*Iq^2 | |
| Amplifier Specification questions This is the reply I got from Pass Labs when I asked this question: ”The X260.8 does 34 watts peak in class A into 8 and will do about half that into 4” Your amp will operate in class A up to 9 watts in 4 ohms |
