New incarnation of already excellent SS integrated from the Danish Gryphon Audio has been presented in Munich Hi-Fi show. Except of changed appearance that follows design of Mephisto, they improved preamp with tehnology of their flagship Pandora pre, improved volume control,new improved state of the art parts,redisigned and improved amp with tehnology taken from Mephisto and also more power. Now it goes 300W 8 Ohm - 600W 4 Ohm and 950W in 2 Ohm. This integrated aint cheap...cca 15000Eu will be his price when it gets out in two months...it has optional modules for phono and DAC...dac will be based on much expensive big brother reference Kalliope...dac module will cost about 6000Eu but atleast you can forget about interconnect cable.
what to say...i have original Diablo which is a great product IMO but ten years has passed after Gryphon started production...now they learned enough and better parts are available to make meaningful step up from original Diablo from evolutional sense...they dont have habbit to make new integrated every two years just to make money but with minimal upgrading...in ongoing tradition of Gryphon integrateds i have no doubt they will make even more better amp...i allready talked with my dealer for audition when it comes out...
Gryphon Diablo 300
