What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
@curiousjim Bought the A/C Master coupler round 97 for less than $400 If memory serves.

Synergistic Research A/C Master Coupler. Still have it on my Diablo 300.  
Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101
@thieliste Yes it is system dependent. Thiel speakers can sound a bit bright and aggressive with the ”wrong” amp. Both Diablo 300 and Vitus 101mkII are great sounding amps….but perhaps not the best match with Thiel speakers.

All amps. P=R*I^2=R*4*Iq^2  
Amplifier Specification questions
This is the reply I got from Pass Labs when I asked this question: ”The X260.8 does 34 watts peak in class A into 8 and will do about half that into 4” Your amp will operate in class A up to 9 watts in 4 ohms  
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... 
Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120
@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...
