Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?


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

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.

I really like Gryphon industrial aesthetics. But I also like vintage looking equipment, especially with vacuum tubes in it.

Thanks all. I’m looking forward to it. It’s the costliest amp I’ve splurged on so far and although I have high expectations for it to outperform my current Luxman L-590AXII, I’m keeping them low to avoid disappointment. I’m fairly certain I would not be left disappointed, judging from all positive reviews and comments that have been made so far.
