GRYPHON UNVEILS DIABLO 333 AT TWO DEALER EVENTS

[buzzlulu]

As it is always said, the best is to demo for yourself. We all hear things differently.
In my case, after 18 years of 552/500 ownership, I was happy to move onto the next phase.

Do you, or have you, owned the 552/500?

 

[ariel2611]

That's right!
Still own them, for about 12 years.

Which speakers you are driving with your DarTZeel?

 

[buzzlulu]

Original Kudos Titan T88 from the first batch of 5 pair. They served me well for the past 14 years.

After a small speaker journey for the new Dartzeel gear I just took possession of a pair of Stenheim Alumine 5 SE

Excellent choice for the Stenheim,
So the difference between the 500/552 vs DarTZeel already been heard in the Kudos period...

Exactly
They say the sign of a great speaker is its ability to show off all upgrades. The totl Kudos Titans are fabulous speakers - they had no problem showing every upgrade I’ve made during my 14 years of ownership.

So...you could go with the newer 808... And now even with the new Sigao external crossover, I've heard them, extremely musical...
But to be honest, I prefer my Focal or the Stenheim...
BTW, the Ch Precision have also a good synergy with Stenheim, have you had the chance to hear them?

I thought this was supposed to be a discussion about the Gryphon Diablo 333.

My 22 year old 552 (DR'd in 2019) and NAP500 DR remain my benchmark. While other brands sound different I've yet to hear a pre/power combo that exceeds what I have. But what I like is different from others and there is no perfect sound. I will continue to seek out and listen to other options, my dream would be to have an integrated that fulfilled my expectations for how music should sound. A tall order.

I'm grateful for the 333 because I needed a black integrated amplifier that could manage the 2 ohms of my speakers. I bought a 300 with internal DAC and an additional full function remote per the 333 for £9,500 from a main dealer, 18 months old, compared to £31,500 for a 333. I enjoy being a few rungs down the food chain. What a lovely unit.

That's a fantastic deal. Well done!

Although NAIM and Dartzeel is off topic, I’m grateful for the discussion on the DartZeel CTH-8550 which I’m adding to my possible next electronics change - slam not priority, but detail and engagement, etc…and within budget…are.

Buzlulu Thanks
