@ghasley I will ask them after the holidays.  
Ultimate Integrated amps
@ghasley  I don’t know. Here are the same specs from the same mag for a a few other integrated amps. Accuphase E800: MCC pos: 63A neg: 60A (289 W into 2 ohms vs 1121 for D300). Boulder 866: MCC pos: 50A neg: 47A (717 W into 2 ohms) Luxman L-509X: ...

@ghasley They state that the 21A for the Pass Int 250 was surprisingly low and the measurement for the Diablo 300 was one of the best ever. Sorry, but I don’t know how to post pics here but it says MCC Pos: 238A MCC Neg: 264A. Not sure what that ... 
Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's
a very good power cord is a Must.    @audioman58 Which pc’s have your brother tried with the Diablo? Looking for a great power cord for my D300.

and delivers much more current than the Diablo 300. @thieliste I seriously doubt that. The Diablo 300 delivers 238A according to measurements in a Swedish HiFi mag. For comparison: Pass Int 250: 21A, X350.8: 43A and D’Agostino S350: 157A bass... 
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
The bass is lean, defined, layered, detailed and taut as opposed to loose or full. To me it's quality bass.  @ryder I agree. A loose and full bass can sound as there is more bass but it’s not quality bass.  
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
Was the bass better with the amp you had prior to the Luxman?  
Two power amps for Magnepan 1.7i ?
@jl35 and you have heard the Diablo 300???!!!  
Thiel Owners
Diablo 300 is really not a good match for Thiels, the tweeters will let you know. Strange, it sounds great with the ribbon tweeters in my Maggies.

@thieliste @ronkent  Its was pretty harsh sounding and the bass was lean Never heard the Diablo 300 described as lean. Tight, controlled and authoritative bass, yes, but lean, no way.  
Integrated amplifier for Dynaudio Heritage Special
A dealer (not for Gryphon) told me that the Diablo 300 and Dynaudio is a ”match made in heaven”.  
Amplifier for Wilson Audio Alexia V
Diablo 300! Great amp with my Magnepans. I know that @audiojan is very happy with the D300 driving his Wilsons.  
Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ?
@koslekt1 How does the Diablo 300 compare to the Pass amps you have auditioned?  
The ”sweetspot” in the Nordost line of cables
Thanks for all your detailed and informative replies. The Valhalla and Odin are more than I’m willing to pay. Would Shunyata Alpha be a better match than the Nordost Leif cables? Or would I be better off keeping my old cables?! Synergistic Resea... 
Pass Then vs. Pass Now
@jjss49  Thanks, I’m hesitating between a Pass XP22/X260.8 or X350.8 combo or the Gryphon Diablo 300.
