Hi everybody!

I just registered to this forum as I bought the Diablo 333 integrated and wanted to join some Gryphon owners community.
This is my first Gryphon product and Diablo 333 replaced the Naim New Classic 300 series with NAC332/NPX300/NAP350s. Due to challenges with improving on the Naim (many boxes, unit stacking, cable dressing, racks etc.), I decided to reduce the box count.

I auditioned Dagostino Progression Integrated, Aavik U-588 and Diablo 333.
U-588 was so hard and clinical at bass that I'm not sure what were they thinking.
Progression was a nice step up from Naim, but Diablo 333 was on another level.
In the end, by lowering the box count I improved the SQ considerably. And the unit is still braking in, so I expect even better performance. :)

Cheers!

Congratulations! Nice system, how does the Rockna Wavedream sound?
Thank you!
For someone who values textures and holographic presentation but without losing any resolution, it is incredible.
I auditioned dCS Rossini Apex and Rockna WaveDream Signature side by side and for me and my system, Rockna is in another league.

Btw just going through your system post, very nice! :)
 
Hey guys, happy Friday!
Just to share with you that I'm over the moon with Diablo 333! The performance is fantastic, and the sound is addictive.
I just want to listen to more music. :)

To experience such an improvement over the same costing Naim 300 series is unbelievable.
Diablo is a much better value.

Cheers!
