Gryphon Mephisto Solo - Manual (Page 9)

Balanced
Connections
All Gryphon products use the
AES standard for balanced con-
nections.
1. Ground
2. Positive
3. Negative
We recommend the use of dedi-
cated balanced cables. Avoid the
use of adaptors as they degrade
performance.
Choice of Cables
Because your Mephisto is a
high-resolution Gryphon audio
device, it will immediately reveal
the characteristics and possible
limitations of the other compo-
nents in your system, as well as
those of the interconnects and
loudspeaker cables used to con-
nect your system.
Wiring should never be utilized
as "equalizers" to correct errors
elsewhere in the system.
Instead, any error should be cor-
rected at the source, so that
interconnects and loudspeaker
cables can be selected solely on
the basis of sonic neutrality. For
this reason, we employ
Gryphon's own range of inter-
connects and cables in every
stage of the design of every
Gryphon product.
Care and
Maintenance
Gryphon products are handcraft-
ed by individuals who take great
pride in the high level of fit and
finish which we achieve. To
maintain your Gryphon compo-
nents in pristine condition,
please follow these simple
instructions.
Metal surfaces may be cleaned
with a damp cloth. Some product
made for treatment of vinyl inte-
riors in cars may be useful. Test
the product on a non-visible sur-
face, before using any fluids.
Acrylic surfaces should only be
wiped with a very soft, dry cloth.
Small scratches may be
removed with fiberglass polish.
Fingerprints may be removed
with a damp cloth. Do NOT use
spirits or paper tissue.
