3/8 in. x 50 ft. diablo 300 ps review12/25/2023 I found the 803 D3s much too cold and clinical compared to my 802 D2s, but the Diablo played better with them than the others. The listening set up was a high spec Aurelic streamer, my Chord M Scaler and Qutest (TT2 was still on order), test amps into B&W 803 D3s with Atlas’ top of the range cables. Whilst all these things are in the ear of the beholder, I did not find the Diablo cold or clinical at all, as that irritates me (as does woolly bass). If you are looking at an integrated amplifier I would definitely look at it, it is superb. It is built like a tank and weighs about the same. I’m very impressed by it and delighted with my choice. I don’t have the optional Gryphon DAC module or phono stage.įed from my Uniti Core / NDX2, Chord M Scaler / TT2 the combination is the wonderful, but with my Vinyl system it is perfection to my ears. It can be pretty unforgiving of anything poor feeding it as I found when I auditioned it. It is very fast and controls speakers very well. It is a very neutral amplifier, compared to anything I’ve ever heard, it really has no tonal character of it’s own that I could identify so it may not balance a warm or over detailed system. It was able to handle my B&W 802 D2s low impedance dips with ease. The Diablo fitted my tastes better and was in a different league. I did audition it with the Hegel H590, Luxman 509 and the 700 power / pre units. I do have the Gryphon Diablo 300, but I did not compare it with any Naim alternatives for various reasons.
