Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?


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

I am really happy with my Gryphon 120 - I’ve had (and have listened to) quite a few respected integrated amps, but I haven’t listened to the 300.

It sounds as good as it gets in my tiny listening room, hooked up to Harbeth Super HL5plus XD - I listen mainly to vinyl, and the phono module is also exceptional.

 

There is no used Diablo 120 for sale, otherwise I would have bought it. Can’t bring myself to buy a new one at full MSRP.

I owned the Harbeth Super HL5 Plus, not the current XD version. I can expect any Harbeth speakers to sound good with upfront and dynamic amps such as the Gryphon. I used to pair Naim with Harbeth, now it’s the Naim with Graham LS5/9.

Yes, will try the Gryphon stock power cord as well. The Acrolinks are rather costly as I bought them about 4 or 5 years ago. 

Look forward to reading about your impressions. Gryphon is among the very best SS equipment and should be an excellent match with most speakers.

@ryder - Congratulations! Very exciting! 

I’m listening to my Gryphon 120 as I write this… I hope you like your new amp. As I wrote before, it’s a more muscular sounding amp compared to the Luxman 590axii. I would imagine the Gryphon 300 will really take it up another level. 

Please share your observations once it is playing music in your home.
