The Hyperion is now rebuilt with the MR option.  About 100 sides now played and it is all I hoped it could be in its new form.  Thank you Peter.

Beautiful system and setup.  I  currently use a Diablo 300 with Rockport Mira II speakers.  Gryphon and Rockport perform with a special synergy IMO.  Enjoy!

Rockport Mira II have replaced the Spendor D9s.  Beautiful tone and a cohesive presentation top to bottom.

The difference that I perceived between the Enterprise C and mk4 was an increase in the small aural cues that helped define the space around the music better.  I would guess this would be a darker ...

Added a pair of Audio Note AN-E Spe HE speakers to the system.  Once they found a spot that adequately engaged the room the sound they present is sublime.  Even at very low volume bass is properly ...
