Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps?

@inna,

I am not sure what relevance the passing of Charlie has on the future of Ayre.   His designs live on as will the company IMO.

D1000 is a one way street - you WON'T be coming back!

That said, the Aavik U300 has swayed a handful of devotees.

One you've tried the truly high end super integrated - saved thousands on cables and found one power cord,  a pair of speaker cables and your favorite transducers is it. All in, done!

Greg, I am not at all sure about the future of any company when chief designer resigns, I'll put it like that. I just wouldn't spend a lot, that's why I said "new", with used relatively inexpensive pieces one could take a risk.

leeagc.  sorry I don't know this, but the D1000 is from or made by what company?
