Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333

jeffreyw, I see.

Not well familiar with the Soulution.

Really hard to advise, anyway.

I am receiving my 331 next week.  It is replacing my Ayre AX-5 Twenty integrated amp.  Here is an excellent review: https://twitteringmachines.com/review-soulution-331-integrated-amplifier/.

I have heard the Gryphon 333. It would be really hard to believe it can sound much better. I would love to hear the Soulution though.

Please post your impressions of the 331; you would be one of the first since even professional reviews are scarce!

Thanks!

Sooo...... I was able to demo the Soulution 331. All I can say is "wow'. It was paired with Magico A5s. The quality of the bass was most impressive; it was very clean and tight. The midrange and highs were magical, more so holographic. The placement of instruments and vocals was crazy (yes, the Magico's help).

From what I recall, the Gryphon Diablo 300's bass output was far greater than the Soulution's, but it was not as refined. However, the Diablo did not come close to the Soulution's midrange and highs performance. I have auditioned many amps over the years, but I think this Soulution 331 is the best I have ever heard. 

I'm still trying to audition the Gryphon 333, but I can't unhear what the Soulution did to me! I will try not to be biased because I really love Gryphon.
