Gryphon product exists for one
simple purpose: to bring the user
closer in the never-ending quest
for a more natural and convinc-
ing musical illusion.

Every Gryphon design has been
built to cruise effortlessly through
even the most demanding musi-
cal passages, regardless of vol-
ume level, with a musical pres-
entation defined by supreme
articulation and immediacy, sub-
tle dynamic shading and razor-
sharp focus. Refinement and
delicacy are combined with
power and authority for a natu-
ral, involving listening experi-
ence.

The Gryphon
Master Tape
Collection

In the Gryphon listening rooms,
we are fortunate to possess a
unique library of more than
1,000 original master tapes of
recordings made during the
Golden Age of studio engineer-
ing from 1956-1976.

Unlike conventional commercial
releases, our master tapes cap-
ture the dynamic contrasts and
subtle inner harmonic structure
of the musical event, forcing us

to work to a higher standard in
our efforts to maintain the
integrity of the original musical
performance.

equipment and some of the
finest minds in the audio engi-

The dual mono configuration
radically eliminates any possibil-
ity of crosstalk or other interfer-
ence between channels and pro-
vides infinite channel separation
which contributes to the ability to
create space, focus, depth and
transparency.

Because the electrical power
coming out of your wall fluctu-
ates wildly in terms of voltage
and distortion, Gryphon incorpo-
rates heavily regulated multi-
stage power supplies that act as
effective mains conditioning fil-
ters. Displays and control cir-
cuits are fed by a separate
power supply to isolate any digi-
tal noise artifacts and effectively
prevent them from contaminat-
ing the signal path.

While the printed circuit boards
