| 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 | |
| Luxman D-07x I called around a bit and contacted a dealer that carries both the Luxman and Esoteric. He actually liked the new Esoteric K-05XD and it bested the D-07X and D-010X I’m interested in both the Esoteric K-05XD and Luxman D-07X. Has anybody el... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Sign. vs Esoteric K-05XD Anyone who has heard the new K-05XD? | |
| what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials? A Dynaudio dealer told me that the best amp they have had on the Dynaudios was a Diablo 300…..and they are not a Gryphon dealer. | |
| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? Gryphon Diablo no good ? @inna The Diablo 300 is still among the very best. The D333 will probably be even better but the price is much higher. | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 @missioncoonery If you are located in the states I fully understand why you choose Pass Labs; easier to get service and lower prices. Here in Sweden the Pass Int 250 and Diablo 300 have the same pricetag, my understanding is that the Pass is quite... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 @marcyun Yes, he explained that the Antileon stands out from the other amps with it’s more colored sound; fuller, warmer with huge bass. He said that the Antileon will stay in their lineup forever. Rune also told us that the D120 is slightly warme... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 @marcyun I met Rune Skov of Gryphon at a demo, he said that all Gryphon amps are very neutral, except for the Antileon and Diablo 120 which are warmer, rounder and a bit colored. | |
