Gryphon Diablo 300 is a hot selling amp these days. But it is not for everyone and it has passive preamp section, something that I personally do not like much. I strongly prefer active preamp. But it is Gryphon and it is great.
Pass won't have speed, resolution and dynamics of the Diablo 300.
Audiotroy is right - it depends on many things starting with speakers.
My idea - tube active preamp into line-in input of Diablo 300. Should be electrically and musically matched. And separate tube phono stage, of course.
