I am glad i found this post as I am looking at maybe getting the new amp and i have it down to 3 choices, Diablo, BHK 300's or T+A PA 3000HV. Any thoughts would be welcomed...

I just got the Diablo 300. It replaced Jeff Rowland Continuum S2.
In comparison (in my room, with my speakers, and my ears) the former is far superior. SixMoons named it "possibly the best integrated in the world". The areas where I find it to shine the most is bass control, depth of soundstage, micro details and speed. Last edited by bigblue; 03-16-2017 at 05:59 PM. |

Too bad that after all these years they still have no active US distribution.

Bill.......I agree. It is a pity because I think the US market would welcome Gryphon. Perhaps it is their own corporate policies that keep it from happening.

Thanks jdandy. I agree about the looks. The JR was a prettier think. Gryphons products are more brutal in their looks.
I hope they find a partner in the US in order to let more people have a listen. I don't know the reason for the absence but here in Sweden they have just "rearranged" their distribution channels. Kicking some out - bringing new ones in. |

Bill, I was very interested in obtaining a Gryphon amp a little over a year ago. It turned out to be a frustrating ordeal to say the least and only in part due to Gryphon's lack of a US distributor. What I understood, and could be incorrect, is that Gryphon had a bad experience with a previous US distributor and it soured them on the US market. |

I believe that problems with their previous US distributor (decades ago!) as you stated along with a less than favorable review of one of their products by TAS killed their interest in marketing the products here. Their website states that they're "seeking a well established, experienced distributor only" for the US but it's been that way for years.

It's a bit sad that Gryphon has problems to get good partners. They are one of the best Hi-End producers there is. The North Americans should be able to listen to them.
