Gryphon Diablo & Dartzeel CTH-8550


Hi,
I am looking for a high quality integrated amp in a small room of 18' x 10' x 8'.

On a usage basis, one negative point about the Diablo is that it runs very hot.

Anybody who has compared both amps side-by-side and could comment on it?

Thank you

Hamburger,

I have never heard the YBA signature stuff...but i have heard some of their more basic equipment...congrats!!! That is seriously good stuff, no doubt. And by reputation it is certainly consistent with the sound you have been looking for in Gryphon. Congrats and enjoy!!!
Hamburger,

I went thru something simular a few years ago and ended up with a Neodio NR600 Signature. I compared with Diablo in my system and as much as I wanted to like the Diablo the Neodio just sounded better. French made, 100 watts ss. They are hard to find but worth the effort.
Wow, six chassis. I will have to re-look the definition of 'integrated' again. :-)

Enjoy.
I wanted to go Danish - Gryphon and Vitus, but somehow the French got me... Is Dartzeel French-Swiss? And now pops in Neodio. ;)

Neodio is available here but not popular, so I guess I must have missed it. But will find a chance to go hear it.

Yes, my integrated amp needs 4 powercords and I ran out of power cords AND sockets on my power-distributor. Damn! ;(
