Thanks everyone for the feedback! Really appreciate it.
Looks like the Gryphon is getting high praise so I looked at the prices and while the MA9000 and moon 600i are around the $10K mark, the Gryphon price is this (quoted):
Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier
Price: $24,295.
DAC module (USB, balanced AES, optical, 2 x S/PDIF): $8895.
MM/MC phono stage module: $3395.
Now, while I appreciate music I have zero tech knowledge in amps technology. I'm not even sure how to read the above, i.e whether the base price is $25K and the other modules are on top of that or the DAC and phono stage modules can be taken out to reduce the price.. ?
Last - noticed there was a "small brother" version of the Gryphon, the 120 one so would appreciate your views on it as well.
Thanks again, been a real help!
