Gryphon Legato Legacy - Manual (Page 10)

The Gryphon
Legato
Despite the massive digital hype
of the past 20 years, the LP
remains by a significant margin
the finest high fidelity medium
ever offered for home use. Its
comprehensive catalogue of
titles will never be rivaled by the
compact disc, which already
appears to be on its way to a
carefully planned obsolescence.
The LP holds a very special
place in our hearts here at
Gryphon, having been the inspi-
ration for our very first product,
the now legendary Gryphon
Head Amp. Today, Gryphon con-
tinues to support analog play-
back with the full force of our
considerable research and
development resources. While
the vast majority of self-pro-
claimed high end manufacturers
have ceased to take any real
interest in LP playback, Gryphon
forges ahead.
The Gryphon Legato phonos-
tage is the fruit of our explo-
rations into the latest circuit
topologies, low-noise compo-
nent breakthroughs and power
supply innovations in the service
of a vast body of musical treas-
ures that will continue to enlight-
en the lives of dedicated music
lovers for years to come.
But it is far more than nostalgia
that motivates our ongoing
efforts to extract the very best
from those black vinyl grooves.
Through our travels and exten-
sive correspondence we are
aware of a small, yet significant
circle of true vinyl connoisseurs.
It is our hope that they will appre-
ciate our meticulous efforts on
their behalf in the development
of the Gryphon Legato phonos-
tage.
It is to this uncompromising
group of music lovers that we
dedicate the Gryphon Legato
with our heartfelt appreciation for
your support.
