Diablo 300

About the Diablo 300

The Gryphon Diablo 300 is a high-end integrated amplifier delivering 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 600 watts into 4 ohms, and 950 watts into 2 ohms, designed to drive even the most demanding loudspeaker loads with ease. It features a true dual mono configuration and operates without negative feedback, avoiding time-delay and intermodulation distortion. The amplifier uses a microprocessor-controlled 43-step fully balanced relay volume attenuator with minimal resistors in the signal path, ensuring ultra-transparent sound. Its frequency response extends from 0.5 Hz to 350 kHz, supported by a massive power supply with a 136,000 µF capacity and local active shunt regulators for superior noise suppression. The Diablo 300 employs high current, high gain bipolar transistors allowing pure Class A operation for the first 5-6 watts before switching to Class A/B mode. The chassis is a robust 18.9"W x 9.2"H x 18.1"D, weighing 84 pounds, with a design by Flemming E. Connectivity includes two balanced XLR inputs, four unbalanced RCA inputs (one configurable to phono with MM/MC module), subwoofer output, tape out, and 12V trigger connections. The front panel features a vacuum fluorescent display and touch-buttons for volume, input selection, and system settings, with software upgradeability and a dedicated remote control. Gryphon's custom speaker binding posts ensure excellent connection quality and ease of use. Overall, the Diablo 300 is a state-of-the-art amplifier combining massive power, precision engineering, and audiophile-grade components for exceptional musical energy and control.
