Jughead I have owned the Gamma Summits for years and they are tough to beat. I have been using a low watt tube amp for years how many watts per channel does Dales amp produce? 
Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one
Why argue over what Mi4 heard.  If you like Gryphon sound great, however there is a lot of extreme high end equipment that is lean sounding.  Plus everyone hears differently.

Thought I would try this again. 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
Taww,I owned Neodio top of the line integrated and if you get a chance to get your hands on one go for it.  His two cdp’s are the most musical available.

denon1keep us updated.  I am looking at the Diablo and your feedback is appreciated. 
Switching to solid state amp?
I will look at the Octave it could be a good choice.  From what I have learned about the Diablo 120 the build and parts are quite equal to the Diablo 300 but the 300 is a brute.   I am sure the transformer is beefier but both have the same house s...

What are what are your impressions so far.
