Has Anyone Heard the New Gryphon Ethos CD Player
Let me ask this question, what separates The Gryphon Ethos from say a high-end Sim Audio or Cambridge Audio CD Player?  Let me preface by saying I respect the manufacturing differences between high-end CD Player manufacturers like Ayon, Esoteric, ... 
Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row?
That sounds amazing! I'll definitely give them an audition in the future! Thanks for that detailed and persuasive mention. 
Impressions of Chord TT2 and M-Scaler
karmapolice I'll be receiving the SR Galileo UEF Analog PC's Thursday.  But I must say I'm already impressed with Atmosphere UEF Level 3 Analog PC already.  The holographic and enveloping soundstage is much better than my TWL Obsession PC which I ... 
Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row?
denon1,Thanks for that review! I've heard some nice things about the Front Row Audience SC. But I've also heard it may be too much of a good thing by some?  They say it really lives up to its moniker because you feel you're in the "Front Row" lite... 
Enjoying my Audience Au24Sx Speaker Cables, wondering how much better are the Front Row?
nyev,That's Great News! I don't think you'll be disappointed.  I've heard the Nordost Frey, and Vahalla's and they are extremely clear.  But I think the balance of warmth, transparency, and PRAT you get with the Au24SX will have them in your top t...

karmapolice,Thanks for the advice! 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
LOL! Yeah, when not in use it can be used as a fairly nice space heater too!I've gotten into the habit of not leaving mine own because of that fact, but when I wake up I leave it on for about 45-hour to get that nice pre-warmed sound!  It puts out... 
How Much Incrementally Better is the Black Cat Silver Star from the Digit 75 to The Tron?
aniwolfe,Thanks for those wise words!  I'm always chasing the rabbit hole. And experience has taught me that being penny-"unwise" while being pound foolish is not the way to go, especially where the law of diminishing returns is concerned.  I love... 
How Much Incrementally Better is the Black Cat Silver Star from the Digit 75 to The Tron?
Aniwolfe,Thank you so much! would you say there's a $1,600 difference between the two (SilverStar MkII and Tron)?  And you may have already answered it, but I'm just trying to justify the price difference?Many Thanks!P.S. I'm also looking for the ... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Nyev, good deal! I would love for you to audition the Audience if you can. If they don’t have the loaners perhaps you can contact the company directly and see if they have a suitable return policy. And I know Pete has one that’s a 30-day one with ... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
lak3, I have not. I’ll have to see if there’s a local dealer and give them a listen! Thank you! 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Integrated or Dartzeel LHC-208 Integrated with PMC Fact 12 Speakers
I own the Gryphon Diable 300 and so I'm biased.  Gryphon. 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Hi Nyev,Great summation! I'm a fellow Gryphon Diablo 300 owner and can echo many of your same sentiments.  I am a little anal and so I did my research and demo'd quite a few amps including the D'Agistino Momentum here in Atlanta.  It sounded a bit... 
How good are the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables?
I own the TWL SC, and PC and absolutely loved them!  They, however, don't have the same soundstage as the Au24SX.  Where the TWL's are a bit more "forward" the Au24SX is slightly warmer with more depth. Both are killer when it comes to midrange (w...
