In addition to the above, It would appear to be quite mandatory to add these two important technical details:ġ-The Massive Heat-Sinking: the Diablo 300 has more surface area devoted to cooling transistors and internal circuitry than other most other Integrated Amplifiers (the entire aluminum chassis functions as a heat sink) which enables Gryphon to run the outputs at his-bias while keeping the amplifier cool and in the long term, quite reliable.Ģ-Its Mechanical Stability: Diablo 300, uses a massive, rigidly-constructed chassis that offers a remarkable degree of damping and vibration control, allowing sensitive electronic circuits to operate without degradation from vibration or mechanical noise.

New, high-speed, discrete single-ended Class A input buffer for best possible sonic performance.

Dual Mono Holmgren toroidal transformer with vacuum treated core and windings to virtually eliminate mechanical noise.

dual-layer and four-layer printed circuit boards with up to 105-micron copper traces

Microprocessor-controlled 43-step fully balanced relay volume attenuator for best sonic performance based on a minimalist contingent of ultra-precision resistors.

If you take a quick look at some of these key features below it tells the story very well, but of course, there is much more to this amplifier, including: Some of the design parameters listed here should fortify this assumption.

In theory, the way the Diablo is built should ensure that it is, at leas, one of the greatest sounding amplifiers in the world, regardless of price or brand. Before we undertake the evaluation of this amplifier’s subjective sound qualities, let us look a bit under the hood and within the technical parameters of the Gryphon Diablo 300. Super clean, huge, beautifully constructed, and ergonomically inebriating are just some of the byproducts of this Diablo 300. The Diablo 300 comes in a case that is more akin to a Sherman Tank than that of the original Diablo and the gargatum 300 features zero negative feedback, a genuine Dual Mono configuration, a 43-step fully balanced relay volume attenuator, and ultra-precision resistors.įlemming Rasmussen, Gryphon’s designer, exposes once more something uncommon in our profession with just a glance at the aesthetics. The Gryphon Diablo 300 dual-mono integrated amplifier is such an example. Many of today’s most eclectic designers are producing sophisticated integrated systems that offer equal performance to a system made up of pricey separates. Notwithstanding Gryphon’s infinite high-end separates as well, (e,g.

As with previous reviews of integrated amplifiers, lots of audiophiles have learned about the benefits of the finest, single-chassis units available.
