    So how hard is it deciding which products you will have on display Mike?

    Difficult because I want them all. I'm open to suggestions (seriously). If you guys were thinking of Gryphon products, which would YOU be interested in auditioning?

    Diablo 300 for sure.

    What else?

    Re: The Gryphon Audio Forum is now open!

    I've been a fan of Gryphon for going on 20years. My first preamp was their old Linestage that my boss sold me when he upgraded to the Sonata Allegro. The preamp was great, however, their amplifers and build quality is what stood out to me. We compared his DM100 to just about any amp we could get a hold of. The only thing close was an Essence Jasper. This was about 13 years ago so I'm sure there's a lot better now.

    The point I'm trying to make is, get one of their stereo amps. The Antileon Evo Stereo (decendant of the DM100) or the huge Mephisto stereo. Neither are cheap, but both exude what Gryphon is all about. Add the Pandora preamp and connect any of your speakers and I bet they sound stunning. I can't comment on the digital products or speakers. Hopefully one day I'll make it to Florida to give them a listen.

    In my limited experience, their amps have usually sounded wonderful with resolution and weight. A good price range too. Beware of the Class A heat though. Can be unbearable in tropical rooms without air conditioning.
