| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I've heard the LS50s a number of times. To me, while lesser amps can make them produce sound, only better-quality electronics can make them sing. The best I've heard them is with the mid-priced Parasound gear and they sounded very good. I've not h... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Cars - Self entitledGeorge Michael - Symphonica / This is a bluray audio disc a friend loaned me. I'm not a GM fan so no comment.The Notwist - Neon Golden / Not for everyone, maybe even not for many, but the SQ is off the charts! | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Unchained @raindog031 Just to help you understand me and my “end-game” system journey: My current system is Martin Logan Vantage speakers, McIntosh MA6500 integrated, Oppo 105 Universal player, Shunyata Hydra power conditioning. I bought the speakers/integ... | |
| power conditioner @atmasphere Always appreciate your input. So, as Elgar is not available anymore, what brands/models do you know of that work well? | |
| Luxman L-509X Excel Audio in Newport Beach is supposed to have one in a week or two. I hope to hear it soon. Very beautiful to look upon and hoping it sounds just as good. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? @inna Much appreciated. I do appreciate your insight as well.Here is a new, at least to me, page on the Diablo 300. Enjoy....http://www.gryphon-audio.dk/products/integrated-amplifiers/diablo-300.aspx | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? @greginnh I heard the AX-5 Twenty with Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT and QX-5 digital hub just recently in Santa Monica. Decent, but to me, not shockingly great at all. I know some really love this combo, but for me it lacked resolution and bandwidth... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass @fsmithjack How is the H30? | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @tomcarr@jonasandezekeilThis is the best choice. I've owned a number of "mid-fi" CD players and the Oppo 105 beats them all, including the Cambridge Audio 840C; and it wasn't even close for me. The Oppo was much better across the board. I have no... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one @inna OK, thanks for the info. Sounds like an all-Gryphon system is out of my budget; but would still be fun to hear. And if the Ypsilon is even more expensive, I'd better not even go there. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? A few good videos, including this one, at Suncoast Audio on the Diablo 300.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeQXNimsvqkAnd here's the website for Suncoast https://suncoastaudio.com/product/diablo-300/ | |
| Whats in your second system? what second system?! | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one @inna Well, I just looked up dealers in the US and according to the website, there are no dealers; just a distributor. Again, they are close to me so I may give them a call. It would be great to not only hear the 300, but to hear a full Gryphon sy... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one @inna A DAC shoot-out would be interesting - internal vs external. It may be closer that one might think; the Gryphon with internal DAC needs no extra interconnect and may also greatly benefit from the synergy that has been engineered into the pro... | |
| Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you? @inna OK, well, you can't blame a guy. I'd be perfectly happy with the MBL starter system too; it'd fit under the tree and in my room just fine.And since I missed the first time, I'd gift an Oppo 205 because it does so many things well, not refere... |
