Hi all,
I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of an Essence stereo at my dealer whereupon I’ll be heading in to audition it. Funds currently won’t allow me to buy the Essence pre amp at the same time so I’ll be taking along my T&A DAC 200 to assess its pre amp capability with the Essence stereo.
The DAC is currently fed by a Grimm MU1 and amplification is a Hegel H390.
Until its arrival at the dealer I’m wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts on the T&A + Gryphon pairing. I’m delighted with the DAC and not looking to move away from it and hoping that it’s going to be a winning combination.
Next step after a showroom audition would be a home audition but I love why I’ve heard from the Gryphon’s they currently have set up. Unfortunately they dont sell T&A so I’m having to take mine in on the day. Speaker matching won’t be an issue on the day as they have my Reference 1’s set up there so it’ll only be room acoustics as the big variable on the day.
I’m planning on this being my end game amp as retirement is looming, ideally before then I can then acquire the matching Gryphon pre amplifier but that’s at least a couple of years off.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
