| Decent DAC/Streamer The Cambridge Audio CXN. Sounds good, I have one in my secondary system. Proprietary software works very well. Does well with Tidal, NAS, internet radio, and Airplay, I have not tried Spotify Connect. Disadvantages not Roon compliant, no MQA,... | |
| Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s? I have borrowed a Gryphon Diablo 300 from my local dealer, Evolution home theater in Atlanta. I am using it to stream both Tidal and Qobuz via my PS Audio Directstream DAC with Bridge II as well as using my NAS hard drive and CD player. Speakers ... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish I used to use the TFM-35’s many years ago. I Don’t know if they were the x’s or not. I then purchased a demo pair of Thiel CS2.3’s and connected it to the Carver. The sound was so shrill, that my wife refused to let my play any Music. She though... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! Denon1- I have no intention of getting rid of my SF Amati’s. I agree with you, the speakers are spectacular. When I listed to the Serafino’s with the Gryphon, the improvement in the bass was the first thing I noted. The speakers sounded much ‘d... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! Denon1- thank you for sharing your experience. It is very helpful. Especially since I am following a similar path to one you have already traveled. Have you actually heard any of your recommended amps with the Amati’s? Just curious. There is a... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! Pgaulke60- I am sorry to hear you are caught up in this government fiasco. All of our elected federal politicians should be ashamed at how they are treating the people who elected them. It is as though they look at it as a game of chicken, but t... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! Audio Doctor: I totally understand that the price difference between the Plinius and Gryphon makes it appear that the comparison is like comparing apples with oranges. I agree that the Plinius is a great amplifier for its price point. That is wh... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! Pgaulke60: when I first purchased my Amati’s I listened to both the Serafina’s and Amati’s on Macintosh tubes. The Amati’s sounded better to my ears at that time and I purchased them. When I listened to the Diablo/Serafina two days ago again to... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! George: even with the smaller Diablo 300 intergrated, the mid range and highs seem to “float” and the speakers almost disappeared as you correctly stated. But I was also very impressed with the bass. I believe the SF Serafino’s have the same mid... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! Jafant- I purchased my first Plinius, an 8200, from the current HiFi Buys in the 1990’s before they changed their name. I believe they were in Lilburn at the time. I still have this unit in my mountain home connected to my Thiel’s and it works f... | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? M&K. 150 THX series speakers: front, center, and surround along with the MX-5000 subwoofer. Used for home theater only.Plinius 8150 used in my mountain house music system.i purchased all the above new in the last century. | |
| My first Tube Amplifier HealthKit W5M which I built with my father in the late 1950’s. Haven’t used these in years, but I still have several of these units in my basement. After that Sherwood tube intergrated and then several different solid state units, mostly Heathk... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Minnie Riperton. ‘Queen of the whistle register”. It’s a shame she died so young...... | |
