Opinions on best integrated under 10k?

The review is as senseless as most, I am not even sure he burned it in before listening for at least 100 hours.  The most important thing he said was that Flemming Rasmussen had retired. That's bad, who knows what is going to happen with Gryphon.
Diablo 300 is $5k more. If buying new I would not even think about Diablo 120, the difference is not just power. Also, you can have both phono and dac in Diablo 300. 
If you can afford $11k for 120 you can afford $16k for 300. Just sell a few records that you will never listen if this difference matters.
Go people, go.

I am afraid I do not agree on what one can afford.
If one has a budget of 10k, they MIGHT be able to stretch another grand, might.
Very doubtful they could go to 16k though.
If I say I have 10k to spend then that is what it means,not 14, 15,16, 17k etc.

I do not think it at all reasonable to think someone who can spend 11k can spend 16k.

If so we would all have absolute top flight amps and drive Aston Martin's and all the Chevy Sonics would be sitting on dealers lots unsold. Or preferably just crushed.

Save $100 per month for 5 years and you'll see what happens.

That has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with your broad sweeping generalization that someone spending 11k CAN afford to spend 16k.

Totally irrelevant imho.

No Gryphon for you then.
