I'm not surprised by the performance of the Gryphon cables. After all, Gryphon is a complete hi-end hi-fi system company. They design, manufacture and build all their components (pre, amps, cables, power supplies, dacs, speakers, isolators) the exceptions being turntables and acoustic room treatment. Those Vikings don't play. They come to take over. For those who can afford $250k system, they are a one stop shop.
Looking forward to the Pandora with the Mephisto and VIP cables coming together. Will be interesting to listen to hear your thoughts on your listening experiences. Thanks Jay!👍😊
After reading the description of the cables on the Gryphon web site, I think they took a lot of the learned engineering in cable design over years of working cables and applied the knowledge in making the cables. The cables should be quite good. I am curious to listen to more music as the system continues to burn in as well as after the pre-amp inclusion. I personally say that one should have multiple cables and then rotate. It's a shame that different cables seem to sound different. In this case, settle with the Gryphon for a while. If it ain't broke - don't fix it.
Agreed
Hey...plz try those cables with the Parasounds also and c the differences
Plzzzz
Interesting video. Tre pandora will blow your mind. Particularly at low volume.
I feel whenever possible, go with vendor’s own interconnect and speaker cables. Think about continuity of conductors they used inside and outside boxes. They must share a lot of common stuff including solder, mechanical connections. Plus they want to sell you gears not cables that leads possibly reasonable cost for their cable.
Well,once you've got the Pandora and another couple of Gryphon mains leads you'll have to try their own speakers for the full Gryphon sound! Which I've only heard bettered by Living Voice Vox Olympian speakers with a full Kondo Audio Note pre,power and cable loom-but it is crazy expensive. Totally agree about sticking with one manufacturer when it comes to pre,power and cables-they were all developed together,so there should be instant synergy as you have found yourself. That's been my experience using DNM kit over the years,been very happy with it for years and never felt the inclination to go further(nor had deep enough pockets to make a significant improvement). Have really enjoyed being along on your journey though,a real education,there's not much good content out there when when your up at this level and glad you finally got to Gryphon-they really are something special. Cheers from Scotland-Land of the Fyne's
I'm 100% agree with you , this is reasons for i buy B&W , Classe and Aq cables .. Because he make it for sound togheter . If you want a good system , need ask to manufacure how use with yours amp buy it , source ..
Did you see his right hand? Five thumbs! So a thumbs up from Jay means a lot.
I can relate I bought a Gryphon Diablo 300 and now need to upgrade my cables too. I am using the built in DAC right now so I'm thinking of just upgrading the speaker cables. Have you tried them yet?
Yes. They are good
Most cables are equalizers to some extent, using the cables a component where design with is always a good idea. Gryphon gives you that opportunity. Time to find a more neutral cable for your future amp trials too, Odins are overdoing the treble, gives you extended details, but is this the sound the amp designer intended ?
Good job Jay. I like the bugatti analogy. You nailed it there. Now i understand the justified spending.
Jay spot on with what you said, great video. Are you using a power conditioner at the moment? My question for you in the question video was which do you value higher and what improves sound more a good quality power conditioner or good quality power cables? You notice the difference with streaming, the next step is to buy a streaming music server where you can rip or store your own music, I know you don't want to be getting up to change a CD all the time so this is a good step. Recently purchase an Innuos music server and ripping my CDs and adding music to it, really convenient using the app to play music and sounds better than Tidal.
I'm using the Niagara 5000. But only for my dac. My preamp and amp are on the wall
When are you really going to step up to plate and slip in some rotel monoblocks
Familiar descriptives of Nordost house sound, hence have always preferred Siltech’s DC or TC over Odins 1&2.
thank you for this. i am a beginner and seems this applies at all levels
The sound is really improving and going in the rigth direction!
Gryphon just launched a new series of cable called "Vanta". You should give it a try.
$10,000 for a one meter of xlr lol..I can't go there
@@jaysaudiolab WoW. Very expensive. I don't know its MSRP. Sorry.
Are the Gryphon cables marked with direction?
Because all cables has a direction where they sound the best and the difference can be as big as changing to different cables.
Agreed. I’ve experienced this several times when I accidentally switch direction with RCA cables. For XLR cables, the male-female plugs dictate cable direction.
So when are the gryphon speakers coming in? Via the logic of the video you can’t hear that amps true capability or character until you get what it was voiced with, which would be gryphons, yes?
how do you know? I doubt Gryphon voice their amps with just one brand of speakers... in fact, their amps are much more popular than their speakers so It's very likely they voice their amps with other more popular speaker brands.
net, I actually do agree with Jay. I was somewhat playing. I am sure they do
@@referenceanalog ah! ok got it :)
Hi Jay ! could you please tell me brand and model of you rack ? i mean the larger one close to the wall .Thanks
Solid tech is the brand name. You can find it on their site
@@jaysaudiolab , thak you so much ! Cheers Mate !
Think of it:I dont think the Gryphon cables are better than the Nordost,its just more of your taste,the situation is now that only the Gryphon cables work with this amp,thats not a good thing.
I never said that's the case. I just don't want to start buying cables for no reason when their cables sound amazing
@@jaysaudiolab Okay.
Jay you should make these videos shorter. I don't mind hear your thought but they are your opinions. But it goes on to long.
I understand you but keep in mind I only make any sort of revenue from videos where I talk and don't play music. Most of my videos are clips of music and those videos bring me ZERO revenue. NOTHING.
Jay's Audio Lab Don't listen to that guy. I look forward to and enjoy your videos, the longer the better.
@@lexlarkin thank you sir
@@jaysaudiolab me also. via the videos and the thread on audiogon Jay is kind enough to invite us into his hobby in which he pursues audio perfection. being quite familiar with that journey i am very happy to hear Jay's thoughts. keep it up Jay!
Whats making you watch it?
