Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333?

@nyev That is great to hear your system is providing you so much sonic enjoyment! That is interesting to learn about your experiences with the isolation products under both components and the speakers. When I added Magico pods to my speakers they improved in clarity and cohesion. I should look into the Townshe d platform for my Gryphon. Although the 333 does have spikes (with discs) pre-installed by default. I have an HRS platform but it is currently configured for a lower weight so I would need to have it re-calibrated by HRS or dealer.

That is interesting to hear about the Puritan. Other than the Torus, that is the power product I have been interested in learning more about. I’ve definitely seen people talking about plugging bigger amps into the RM but I’m happy to hear you like the Essence into the Puritan, too. It sounds like the mids are better with the Puritan but resolution is better with the RM. Are there any other details you can think of? Many thanks. May I ask what prompted you to trade the RM for the Puritan?

@62truck , I was curious about the Puritan as there was one in the system when I was auditioning my Audiovector R6’s. And a friend was recommending it as well. So that was it really.  

I think both the Torus and Puritan are great, however I personally prioritized the bigger and freer midrange of the Puritan over the higher resolution and refinement of the Torus.  The Torus may be more focused and “pinpointed” with imaging.  It’s tough for me to go to greater details, because during my testing, the quality of my AC power was also fluctuating.  So while I definitely noted differences, the main difference that I could confidently attribute to each product is the ones that I noted.  Also, just to clarify I do prefer my amp connected directly to the wall (dedicated circuit).

@nyev Thank you for sharing that. I'm sure it's difficult to go further if your power was fluctuating. I appreciate it. And yes, I know you have ultimately felt direct to the wall with the amp is the way to go. It sound like in most cases that is true, especially when a dedicated line is in place.

Any updated impressions on this amp?

Heard the 333 with a Magico/DCS rig and it was totally blown away when compared to the Essence pre/amp. I could not believe the difference, not even close. The essence amp is insanely underrated.
