Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?


I almost bought one used a few years ago but decided to go all tubes.

Sorry, I have the same question actually so I hope you don’t mind if I ask here as well. I’ve been looking at two brands only, the Gryphon and Vitus although there are few more. The Vitus especially SIA-030 is considerably more expensive even though it’s a used or demo unit. Nevertheless, I presume no one can dispute its quality as it’s supposed to be very good. The Gryphon Diablo 300 is considerably cheaper but it’s the Diablo 120 that is more appealing to me not so much about the lower price but reduced weight. It’s less bulky and lighter than the 300.

My question, is the Diablo 120 almost as good as the 300 if not as good? Has anyone compared both amps in the system? In some reviews, the 300 was said to be more dynamic and less dark. The 120 is said to have a ballsier or fruiter bass (whatever that means) and an overall slightly warmer character.

Of course, I don't mind.

I heard rumors that Diablo 120 was more musical than Diablo 300 and that some people who didn't need the power of Diablo 300 chose the 120. But I heard it a few years ago when I was considering it. Perhaps now it is different. I understand, you are interested in new current Diablo.
