Luxman D-07x
 I called around a bit and contacted a dealer that carries both the Luxman and Esoteric.  He actually liked the new Esoteric K-05XD and it bested the D-07X and D-010X   I’m interested in both the Esoteric K-05XD and Luxman D-07X. Has anybody el... 
Aesthetix Romulus Sign. vs Esoteric K-05XD
Anyone who has heard the new K-05XD?  
what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials?
A Dynaudio dealer told me that the best amp they have had on the Dynaudios was a Diablo 300…..and they are not a Gryphon dealer.  
any current integrated amps in market have great dacs?
Gryphon Diablo no good ?   @inna The Diablo 300 is still among the very best. The D333 will probably be even better but the price is much higher.  
Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120
@missioncoonery If you are located in the states I fully understand why you choose Pass Labs; easier to get service and lower prices. Here in Sweden the Pass Int 250 and Diablo 300 have the same pricetag, my understanding is that the Pass is quite... 
Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120
@marcyun Yes, he explained that the Antileon stands out from the other amps with it’s more colored sound; fuller, warmer with huge bass. He said that the Antileon will stay in their lineup forever. Rune also told us that the D120 is slightly warme...

@marcyun I met Rune Skov of Gryphon at a demo, he said that all Gryphon amps are very neutral, except for the Antileon and Diablo 120 which are warmer, rounder and a bit colored.  
Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution
A used Diablo 300! Power, finesse and great bass.  
Integrated for Martin Logan Electrostatics
Gryphon Diablo 300, very stable into low impedance loads, or wait til october when the new Diablo 333 will be available.  
The ”sweetspot” in the Nordost line of cables
Thanks, the Frey 2 speaker cables was an improvement over my AQ Argent SCs but not a night and day difference. The Tyr 2 SC is more than twice the price of the Frey 2, perhaps a Tyr 2 IC with Frey 2 SC would be a good combo for far less money tha... 
cost no object integrated amps
The Diablo 300 is already a great integrated but I’m looking forward to hear the new Diablo 333.  
user poll on seperates vs integrated
I’d also say it depends on the level of integrated you are looking at. I agree, there are many truly high-end integrated amps to choose from. I went from separates to a Diablo 300. The new Diablo 333 will probably be even better.  
Nordost Frey2 vs Tyr2
@akg_ca I have had the Frey2 Sc on loan for a week now but I can not hear any brightness, actually they sound a bit softer than my current AQ Argent. Very tight and articulate bass which also is a bit more powerful than the AQ’s. I will also try a... 
Nordost Frey2 vs Tyr2
@akg_ca Thanks. I fully understand that the Valhalla is a fantastic cable but it’s way to expensive. Twice the price of my Magnepan speakers!!!  
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
-- i versions imo add a noticeable degree of warmth and weight to the sound that my ears very much appreciate   @jjss49 How big would you say the difference in bass is between the 3.7 and 3.7i?
