Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes…
Many amplifiers, regardless of class, require some increased volume setting to properly drive certain speakers.  It is usually the interaction between an amplifier and the speakers themselves that determine if the “dynamics” at lower volume fulfil... 
network switches and cables.
My router and the initial switch in a managed Ubiquity Unifi network is in my office where my Comcast bridged modem resides.  A network cable then runs 50 feet to my audio room up through my attic space.  I placed a second powered Unifi switch 1 m... 
Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation?
I used at VPI 16.5 for 9 years with only replacing the tube seals and employing some different brushes.  It is rugged and reliable, but I would not say it is quiet.   
Need Roon Advice.
My Wolf Audio Alpha3SX Roon server runs 24/7 for over 5 years. I will shut it down if I am travelling away from home for a long period of time, but since I employ its service for ARC in my car and other household Roon endpoints it is always availa... 
What interconnect cables do you use with your VAC equipment ?
I used Audience AU24 interconnects, power cords, and speaker cables for many years when I had VAC preamp(s) and poweramp. There were a few upgrades over the years within the Audience line…

Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ?
@tomic601 Currently I have an pair of Rockport Mira 2 speakers. These were a few generations ago but sound amazing.  Only way I am replacing them is by moving up the Rockport line.    
Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ?
I agree with @ronboco about Rockport Lyras, but I would stay with Gryphon power as I currently have driving my Rockports currently.   
Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver?
Currently have 5 cartridges in the rotation.  Just added a third tonearm (SME 3012r) so now can have a mono cartridge (Miyajima Zero), my Hyperion MR (that I would play continuously with no self discipline if I didn’t have other options) and a rot... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 to cornwall iv
As a fellow Gryphon Diablo 300 owner I look forward to your reports on what should be a great pairing. Congratulations!  
I'm new to Step Up Transformers
