I almost found out about Gryphon by accident and wish they had rather more coverage in the UK. Being from Denmark, they seem not to advertise over here and only have one UK dealer as far as I know - with them being in Scotland.

I compared this to other CD players from Moon [which would have matched my amps visually, but it wasn't to be] + Chord + Audio Research .... yet this player has a real magic about it. It injects 'life' in to everything you play and adds a live feel to recordings, even if it was done in the studio. It has a warmth and musicality, whilst still delivering drive and impact. Just what I was after then.

has it been reviewed on here...can't seem to find it !

Looks like a trip to the tower for yours then and maybe you'll get a free tour as a reward ?
 
I doubt very much that WHF have reviewed it [yet !?!?!]

It wasn't in the past 2 high-end magazines they did - but I hope they may see fit to include it next time ... it certainly deserves it in my view!
 
These are what the above is 'feeding' SnowyJohn ...... just to complete the package for you ....

and on the eighth day god created sonus faber

I know... I'd already checked and it pushed me over the edge. I can't bare the thought of going home to my Mordaunt Shorts and measly Onkyo.

You've ruined everything....

Er... Care to swap? (We could probably make it into a 'Secret Millionaire' episode - we could be TV superstars)

(You aren't a TV superstar are you?!

I LOVE YOU
 
... the wallpaper looks fine in the flesh (honest)

... Let's see yours then, if mine is sooooo bad!

Interior design show here we come ?!?! hmmm
 
How much will your speakers cost me ! sat in the uk, absolutely love them !!!!!!!!!!!
 
wow an impressive set up for sure

actually it is the moon items that i like the look of the most - but i can only dream
 
reggaedave:How much will your speakers cost me ! sat in the uk, absolutely love them !!!!!!!!!!!

Sonus Faber Amati - in Violin Red cost around £17k - or Graphite around £18k

Mine are the Palladio - Special Edition model [only 50 pairs made] and I got the last pair from the Factory - so you are unlikely to find a pair new, unless Guildford Audio still have their last/only pair. Full Retail is over £20k - but I think there was a deal to be had on that last pair - closer to the Violin Red price I think.

Good luck !
 
Nice gryphon big air, since you got it up here in bonnie scotland, i take it you got it from jack
 
Well I must say there are fantastic looking speakers. I couldn't bare the thought of spending that amount on speakers, but I suppose it's all relative. Congratulations
