Default Gryphon Mephisto stereo vs CH Precision M1.1 stereo

Hi guys, please give me your choice and in what case you would choose one over the other.
Thanks.

Gryphon over CH for me. Heard a Gryphon setup with some YG speakers that sounded very nice ... have never been super impressed with CH in the systems I heard them in.

As always it is system dependent. But speaking in general terms: to my ears CH is more detailed, revealing and somewhat cooler. Gryphon is more organic and richer with a hint of warmth.
I've got a Gryphon Diablo 300 powering my Sonus Faber Amati Futura so I guess I am a bit biased when I say that the Mephisto would be my first and second choice. CH is simply not my cup of tea.

I also got a Diablo 300 last year to drive my Thiel CS 3.7s.
Very impressive grip since my speakers are pretty difficult load.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!


But I'm sure most of us suffer from the upgrade bug....

I'm tempted to go Antileon Evo next with a tube preamp
We can always dream
