Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? Heard both the 333 and 300 side by side today, my impressions mirror yours @kairosman I did not audition the Essence combo. | |
Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @kairosman What were your impressions, was the 333 better than your D300? | |
A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender @blisshifi @oddiofyl 👍🙏 | |
A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender @oddiofyl @curiousjim Did you compare the Aurender N200 to any other streamers? How does it compare to Lumin U2 and other similarly priced streamers? It will be used with an Esoteric K-05XD. | |
Esoteric K03XD @azwill While I do believe eventually the K-05XD will be upgraded to SE model, others do not believe that will be happening near term. It came out later in the K-XD line, and reportedly already has the Master Sound Discrete Clock which is part ... | |
Gryphon Diablo 120 They’re just fantastic speakers. I agree, heard the Signature 5’s at a HiFi show in Stockholm. Great Swedish speakers! | |
Gryphon Diablo 120 @bluethinker In what way is the D120 different from the Luxman? I have a D300 but have never heard the 120. | |
Gryphon Diablo 300 or Vitus SIA-025mk2 / RI-101mk2 Very speaker dependant but I decided on the Diablo 300 for my Magnepan 3.7’s. RI-101 mkII, Pass int250 and Dag Prog int were also on my shortlist. Never heard anything about reliability issues. | |
Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough? @audiophile1 I understand nada about this but here it is: The power output in class A: P=R*I^2=R*4*Iq^2 | |
Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough? @audiophile1 No it’s half that (approx 17w) into 4 ohms. I’ve asked Pass and other manufacturers. | |
Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough? @audiophile1 I’m using X260.8 monos with Wilson Sabrina that are notoriously difficult to drive and I almost never see the bias meters move, which means I’m in the 35w Class A range. 34 class A Watts into 8 ohms and about half that into th... | |
Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Regarding Esoteric's packaging, current models are shipped double boxed in extremely strong cardboard boxes. However, they are heavy machines and ultimately, if shippers want to destroy something, they will. Yes, my K-05XD arrived on a pallet... | |
Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Esoteric has a new generation of players out. The K-01XD and K-03XD have been upgraded to SE designation. I don’t know anything about how the SE players sound or if the K-05XD and K-07XD players will also be upgraded, @tomcy6 The K-05XD debuted... | |
Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric K-05XD is Esoteric’s entry level SACD player ($12k) I bought one last year, great cdp! | |
Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? @ssg308 Yes If you have fairly efficient speakers. I heard the Pass int250 on a pair of Diptyque panels (87db, 6 ohms) and the meter was bouncing all over the place at normal listening levels. |
