Gryphon Daiblo 300 owners with dac and phono module
I use the Diablo DAC module in my 300.  I also have the phono module but have never used it since I have a stand alone phono pre that can handle my three tonearms.  The DAC module performs well.  I compared it to a couple of external DACs (Ayre QX... 
Rockport Lyras
I currently have Rockports powered by a Gryphon Diablo 300 and the only change I would consider is moving up the Rockport line. Please stop denigrating a great audio company and their products because there seems to be a dislike of a specific revi... 
Dog pissed on speaker
The Urine-Off enzymatically changes the source of the order, it does not cover it up. Covering it up doesn’t work! This does. Something I deal with a lot (not on audio gear but in homes). You could replace everything but I would try the hand spray... 
Dog pissed on speaker
Order a product named “Urine-Off” from an online pet supplier such as Chewy.com. Get the puppy and dog version not the feline version.   
Recommendations for good WiFi speakers
If you are willing to plug in each speaker into wall power you should audition the Rialto by Cabasse.  A simple pair only plugged into the wall for power, sound amazing and can fill a space larger than I imagined with excellent sound reproduction.... 
VPI Prime Sig/Lyra Delos / Feedback ...help!
White is the left channel “hot” wire.  White (hot L), Red (hot R) so it could be an issue in the arm wiring…

Good measuring DACs vs.
@koestner Check out Lampizator. They have a few models with DHT tubes and at one time employed the 300B.  They may still.  
Soundsmith cartridges
@rsf507 I have used among others the Ortofon Cadenza Black, Ortofon Winfeld Ti, Miyajima Madake, Kiseki Purpleheart, and Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum in the past. I currently also have a SoundSmith Paua II. The Hyperion has an ease that is b... 
Soundsmith cartridges
The difference has been stated to be a reduction in the internal moving mass and the addition of a micro ridge stylus.  The original Hyperion already had extremely low internal moving mass and an Optimized Contour Contact Line stylus so the engine... 
What use to burn in power cords?
There are adapters made to turn them into a normal extension cord temporarily and then I use my extra refrigerator for a week.  https://www.showmecables.com/c14-to-nema-5-15-power-adapter

Any East Central Florida Music Enthusiasts
There is the Space Coast Audio Society.  They meet monthly or every other month.  I know they have contacts with the local dealers in the area so they could possibly give you contact information.  In Palm Coast just north of you is A La Carte Audi... 
Valve amplification vs Pass labs
@neilco Almost a year has passed and just curious if you made a move away from the VAC amps to a solid state one?  I previously had a VAC phi200 and reluctantly made the change due to many factors.  Ultimately I ended up with a Gryphon Diablo 300 ... 
Is my amp good enough?
I think the Monitor Audio Gold 300 speakers will allow you to hear the quality of your current NAD amp.  If at a point in the future you find an itch to upgrade the amplifier I believe the speakers will be capable of performing at the level of you...
