Gryphon Diablo 300 - Integrated amp

Further Information: 

For sale my Gryphon Diablo 300, in perfect condition, with original crate and accessories (remote, gloves, manual), 3 years old.

As you might know, it is one of the most regarded high end integrated amplifier of all time, with plenty of detail, musicality, power and control.

It's true dual mono, I've always played it in a fully balanced chain (Bricasti M1SE DAC, Clearaudio Balance V2 Phono upstream and a pair of ProAC K6 speakers).

It comes with its original crate so it can be shipped at cost, but given the size and weight a pick up in person would be better.

Possible partial trade in with an high end preamp (ARC, Soulution, CH Precision, Zanden, D'Agostino) 

RRP: $27,000
