Gryphon Audio opinions? ....

[Djubei]

I've listened to almost every gear from their line except their last loudspeakers. It is terrific staff, very popular in Russia. But as for me, CD players are not so good as competitors

Hi friends,

What do you think of the Gryphon Diablo? The dealer here in Brazil is my friend, and he would like me to do some tests with this integrated.

This integrated would be a good pair with Sonus Faber?


Best regards,
Ricardo.

Gryphon is not in amerika becuz they diddnt find decent importer that can present their whole line properly as last one screwed up and almost bankrupted them....and btw this thing is even not in tastes of sound...gryphon simply make better gear than mcintosh...you cannot even compare these two brands...its like compairing cadillac and bentley...i dont want to sound like im bashing mac...on contrary i like mac...but i find gryphon more resolute, natural, faster, rafined...you name it...gryphons entry integrated costs like macs higher line integrateds...you just cant compare it but your answer was bashing of better product you probably diddnt take one good listen...kind regards

Last month I had the opportunity to Elite Expo, auditioning
one Pandora, Mephisto combo. Really are impressive on paper but for me the sound they lack emotion. maybe
sound "too perfect"

[TOGA]

I spent a week or two with Mephisto before I agreed with how it sound.
An amp platform and feet tuning made much impact on sound, also power cables.
On HRS Nimbus, it sounded so sweet and romantic, but lack attack and excitement.
On Finite Elemente, it sounded more solid-state, clearer, but lean and lacks beauty in its sound.
With proper set up, it will sound very powerful, true to the music, and engaging.

Hi Toga,

Wondering how your soundstage is, do you have energy all around the speakers or is it concentrating between the Q7's?

From cold power up to fully warm, do you hear a big difference with the Mephisto?

Olaf,
Hi,
1. Well, yes that depend much on the recording, the result can be both ways.
2. From cold I felt the treble is not as much extended, but after 30 minutes it seemed all right.
Becoming very hot at around 1 hour. It still very warm at medium bias setting, and still warm in Low setting.
