| Dual mono integrated amps Are there particular examples of integrated amps utilizing a dual mono design that do a particularly good job in this respect? Gryphon Diablo 300 | |
| question of integrated amplification: PASS LABS INT 250 VS ACCUPHASE E-800 I compared the int250 against an E800 at a dealer and preferred the Pass. The Accuphase E800 was too polite for my taste. I did not like the appearance of it either. I ultimately decided on a Diablo 300. | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps @dinus777 Thanks for the clarification. The Diablo 300 is a 85 pound beast of an integrated amp and can probably drive any speaker out there. | |
| Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent? Many Thanks for your input @nyev Great help in my search for a realy good PC for my Diablo 300 but even my old Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler is a clear improvement over the stock cord. A fuller, more authoritative bass is it’s stronges... | |
| Thoughts on Shunyata and Transparent? @nyev Which pc did you decide on for your Diablo 300? | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps @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: ... | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps @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. | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps 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. | |
| Thiel Owners @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. |
