here is my take on all current Gryphon stereo amplifiers. interested in a private consultation with me? email me directly for further details jayaudiolab@gmail.com
Thanks Jay! No one else in this industry that I know of gives out honest no BS info. on this scale. What you save in time and $ to this group of people is very appreciated!
Hello Jay from Australia, Back in the earlier 1990's Gryphon amps became available here . A close friend was the agent here and became close friends with Flemming Rasmussen and he came here many times . At the time here Krell was the big thing and Gryphon took them head on . I have always admired their phono stages. It is still such a great product and your presentation is always interesting and informative.
I sincerely appreciate your down to earth analogies, pro's and cons approach to explaining your experiences with High End components! It is refreshing to my soul with one of my life long passions! Thank you Jay for all your hard work! PS: I wish you good Health, and Joy on your Journey in Life! I will continue to follow with Great Expectation
Suggestion. Search channel such as soundsommelier,... for their video quality. You got great equipment but you show them to your audience in a video quality look like recorded from iphone 2.
One day it would be cool if you can bring in Goldmund Telos amplifiers - either the mono 2500s or 3600s Nextgen series. Good luck if you can get in the Telos 5500 Nextgen on your hands but you'll need an army to lift each one.
Hi Jay, very good insights. I agree with most of what you said except the first part where you spoke about speakers being anaemic. In my view, there is nothing called an anaemic speaker - there are only anaemic pairings ie if I pair a YG Sonja or a Rockport Avior with a Low powered tube amp or worse SET, they will most probably sound anaemic. Both these speakers are one of the best when it comes to ‘ meat on bones’, especially with the likes of gryphon amplification. However, they can well sound loose with flea power. I hope I have been able to make my point without being contentious…. Cheers and keep up the good work
Hi Jay love your videos and appreciate your reviews. I am curious as to why you might hear the difference between the Mephisto Stereo and monos when you take price into consideration. The Stereo is 47K UK Pounds v Mono 93.5K UK Pounds so essentially double the price. You would expect to hear significant upgrades surely.
Hello and thanks! I am in the market for a gryphon right now and your comments are very informative and detailed. Are you going to talk about Diablo 300 in Part 2?
Its too bad the Colliseum is in that case. It seems to be one of the more user friendly and forgiving amplifiers in the brand. It would probably have a larger ownership group if people could get past its look
nice video, been following you for a while, very nice setup you have. have to ask though if you ever tested out or considered ATC loudspeakers ? curious about your thoughts on them in general but specifically the SCM100A!
The Gryphon Colosseum really strongly reminds me of my black tower ventilator in my living room…. Actually don’t like this kind of look on power amps 🤭
Hey Jay, why not entertain us with a review of an eGan FET class D amp. I hear good things. I’ve been very hesitant of buying class D amps, but the eGan amps are killin it from what I’ve read. I’d be curious to see how they measure up to these super expensive amps you review.
I have a Crown K2 class D 480 watts 3000 Damping Factor started by a pastor u don't call it audiophile l call it audiophile it's not about dollar sounds

Thank you sir
Thanks for the video! Cliffhanger ending. Waiting for part 2. No pressure though! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
My pleasure
Jay, really appreciate your in-depth explanations! NO ONE does it better. Good job :)
Thanks man

Jay, thank you for a very informative video!
It’s also nice that the video & audio quality increased
Thank you. I'm trying
Their site states “Gryphon was the first manufacture to introduce a true dual mono configuration” might have to fact check that one -

Great video Jay, really enjoyed this. Looking forward to part 2
Need the same report on Wilson speakers
Hello and thanks! I am in the market for a gryphon right now and your comments are very informative and detailed. Are you going to talk about Diablo 300 in Part 2?
Hi Jay! Fantastic and informative webcast. Could you say when “Part 2” will be broadcast?
Wednesday and i will make a bold statement on part 2!!
@@jaysaudiolab Thanks again…can’t wait!!! 😃👍
Try the Pivetta Opera... its plenty strong! Huge soundstage and Dynamics....
Thanks! Very informative, But I can't afford any amp you mentioned. Please make a video like this about Pass labs.
Good explanation. Unfortunately I am one of those poor souls who could never afford this stuff, only for the lucky few
Great video. Which Gryphon you guys chose for music like Metallica or AC/DC and which speakers and cables ?
Its too bad the Colliseum is in that case. It seems to be one of the more user friendly and forgiving amplifiers in the brand. It would probably have a larger ownership group if people could get past its look
Love your videos that is a lot of money
Thank you

No
Gryphon 👍👏
Thanks for this interesting video man, pls do a similar on Simaudio Moon Amps...
I don't own any.
Can't find part 2 after nine months

i just blocked Chris Richards from the channel. He is HISTORY
@@jaysaudiolab congratulations…well done!

Sorry. Getting boring fast
You can always tune into something else. Fortunately, there are plenty of channels
No problem….move on and never look back, please!
Sorry your highness, no one gives a shit. Usually people with basic intelligence just move onto something else which interests them.
And you’re here and needed to comment on that, like someone cares if you’re bored? Get over yourself!
@@craigtomlinson2075 Yeah and I also comment when it’s not boring. Don’t let it bother you so much that you felt compelled to comment over my opinion.
