The brand new Gryphon Diablo 300 shows a lot of promise, replacing the current Diablo who's been one of the most successful integrated amplifiers on this level worldwide for over a decade. The new Diablo 300 comes with an optional DAC and Phono stage.

Great pics, looking forward to the updates. Thanks!

The friendly people of PS Audio shows of their latest pride and joy - the giant killer BHK Stereo amplifier. The preamp is an early prototype scheduled 1-2 years ahead.

Would love to hear your thoughts on gear that you get to hear at the show.

Thanks for the great pictures. Are those the Sonus Faber Amati Futura's in the new black?

 

[Golucid]

Mike, maybe now I am beginning to understand why you cycle through equipment. After looking at these photos, I want a refund on all my equipment.

I will come back to listening impressions after the show when I've got the complete picture and a more relaxed mind after a couple of intense days down here.

And yes - these are the Futuras in black looking magnificent in person. The late mr. Serblin might turn in his grave though...

Great pictures!

Did PS Audio have the BHK plugged into the P10?

Thank you

Yes - PS Audio used the DirectStream DAC into the new BHK Signature Stereo power amp through the P10 power conditioner together with the Magnepans.

A nightmare to photograph, but a true joy to experience. The Wilson Benesch / CH Precision room is one of the most impressive at the show. Neither words nor photos can do the level of engineering and finishing of these magnificent products the justice they deserve.

Wilson Benesch was debuting their R1 rack series. I have to tell you that nothing comes close in relation to engineering, build quality and finish. I'm saying that with the deepest of respect for Stillpoints, SRA and HRS.

CH Precision has completed their C1-series with the new P1 phono stage, which looks as promising as everything else from this cutting edge company.

Both these companies are backed up by the nicest and most supportive people in the business by the way.

David, you have wonderful gear....some of the best looking too! Don't doubt it for a second. However, I would encourage you to attend the shows if nothing else for the camaraderie. RMAF is a blast...hanging out...visiting rooms....going for dinner with a bunch of the guys from Audioshark, etc.

Marcus, great photos! Thanks for sharing!

Anything stand out to you thus far, good or bad?

Ahh... Good to "see" you I hope you're enjoying your beautiful Nagra!

Oh yes I love it on my Harbeth 40.1.
My Shindo amps are in an other league but the Nagra has its own personality and sounds amazing.
Did you listen to the new Classic 120 ?

Man, those Sonus Fabers are downright lickable.

 

[Ritmo]

Very nice pictures and coverage Marcus!

 

[Mike]

Man, those Sonus Fabers are downright lickable.

Amen.

Hyperon, quick question..... (shot in the dark)... you didn't happen to ask them how they were using the Trinnov Amethyst in the CH Precision system??

 

[nicoludio]

Hyperion, great photos :thumbup:

You mentioned that you saw the renderings for the new Wilson Benesch floorstanders in the Geometry series. Do you know if they will replace the ACT C60, and was there any indicative price?

The Gryphon Diablo 300 looks amazing too!

Cheers, and enjoy the rest of your Munich visit!
