“Fast-forward to now and I’ve struggled for many months to get my Gryphon system sounding less harsh and 2-dimensional. Two weeks ago, I replaced my XLR i/c from pre’ to amp with a pair of Black Diamonds. Absolute transformation that made the previous cable sound broken. I don’t know what you do to your cables to make them do what they do, but I can understand why you don’t tell anyone. 2D has become 3D, detail is excellent, mid-range is smooth and fatigue less, but not sleepy, bass has gobs of depth and texture and listening is now an experience littered with emotional cues spread across a broad and deep soundstage, yet with instruments clearly placed upon it. I’m hearing so much more of what this stunning Gryphon system can do. All from just one, albeit fairly key, cable change. I have the critical listening ear of a bat; these things are not imagined.”
