    GRYPHON UNVEILS DIABLO 333 AT TWO DEALER EVENTS

    Thank you for the comments and they mirror EXACTLY what I found when the 8550 was demoed. As a 20+ year Naim 552/500 owner I was looking to simplify my life and reduce black box and cable count. Many Naim users on the dCS forum experimented by removing the Naim preamp and running our dCS...

    Excellent first post and write up. This is my first post as well. How would you compare the Gryphon to your DarTZeel ( and do you have the integrated or seperates?
