Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?

@bluethinker thanks again for the useful response, much appreciated. From your description it appears that the Diablo 120 may be voiced slightly to warm or soft in the high frequencies since it matches well with speakers which have a dominant or hot treble. I won’t be able to live with an amp that has a warmer or softer treble than the already warm, soft and delicate Luxman 590AXII.

As I’m buying used, I won’t be able to try but will likely go with either 300 or 120. Another available option recommended to me is the Audionet Watt but I’ll pass.

@arafiq thanks. I don't have any doubts the Vitus is excellent, though I have a preference for amps which are not too huge or heavy. The Diablo 300 is actually the limit for me, 120 more ideal. The SS-101 would be too much for me, not only the weight but the price as well. The SIA-025mk2 is nice too. Unfortunately I can't compare both in my system since I'm buying used but still prefer to go with the Gryphon. I am aware both Vitus and Gryphon are great amps, a matter of preference.

@ryder - I completely understand. Which speakers are you planning on using with the new amp (purchased used, as you mentioned)? 

ive been intrigued by the AudioNet equipment. The AudioNet Watt has intrigued me. Any particular reason you’d pass on it? I have not heard it, but would like to. 

@bluethinker I’ll be using the Marten Duke 2 with the new(likely used) amp. I also own the Graham LS5/9 but have the Naim amps on these. I occasionally will rotate the amps on the speakers to see how they would perform together.

A dealer offered the Audionet Watt for the trade-in of my Naim amps but the deal was not good.

As an update, I’ve finally succumbed to the temptation. I was initially looking at the Diablo 120 but managed to secure a deal on a used but in immaculate condition Gryphon Diablo 300 with DAC module through a dealer after the owner upgraded to the Essence. It won’t be too soon until I receive the unit but I’m excited as this one will surely qualify as endgame.

After speaking to the dealer, the new Diablo 333 is said to be slightly better than the 300, not a significant improvement while the Essence is significantly better than both. Nevertheless, the 300 is at the limit where I could spend on an amp and I’m convinced I won’t be looking anymore after this.
