Bridging couples the stereo channels in series to form a single amplifier with increased voltage and, nominally, more output power. Unfortunately, the inevitable side effects of this approach include doubling distortion, doubling the input impedance (impairing the amplifier’s ability to drive low-impedance loudspeaker loads) and cutting damping factor in half (reducing the amplifier’s control of cone motion at low frequencies).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gryphon Mephisto Solo elegantly eliminates these issues by running two stereo channels in parallel (not in series) for unchanged output and voltage, but double the current and half the distortion. As always, extreme high current capability is a fundamental parameter in Gryphon amplifier design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapable of massive current swings, Gryphon Mephisto Solo maintains the dynamic integrity of the audio signal even under the most extreme reactive loudspeaker load conditions.

With separate power supplies, rectifiers, regulation, preamp stages and gain stages, there is no interaction whatsoever between channels.

The dual mono design employs a custom-built shielded, high current toroidal transformer with dual windings for left and right channel. The output stage and driver stage employ separate power supplies for effective isolation of the output stage from the input stage. A separate transformer for control and display circuitry isolates them from the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Gryphon Essence takes us closer in the never-ending quest for a more natural and convincing musical illusion. Years of experimentation and extensive research in the fields of circuit topology and component quality and reliability have resulted in the development of an amplifier that impresses immediately with its ability to cruise effortlessly through even the most demanding musical passages, regardless of volume level. As a result of the constant high power reserves available at all times, the Essence simply does not “see” the speaker, so its reactive load cannot degrade amplifier performance. Unlike other high-power amplifiers, Gryphon’s no-compromise, pure Class A topology allows the Essence to offer extreme power reserves on demand, combined with refinement and delicacy in musical presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is our fundamental philosophy that all electronics in the playback chain must ideally be neutral and not add or subtract anything from the recording, no matter how “attractive” such distortions may be. The Essence is by nature a product for the fortunate few who can afford such a statement, just as it is a product for the increasing number of audiophiles who seek purity in the reproduction of music, a product for music lovers who respect both the musicians and recording engineers enough to refrain from adding or subtracting anything in relation to the original intention of the recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default mpc-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-405e91a257de126\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCircuit topology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is the name of the game and the Essence is equipped to take on even the most vicious and nightmarish of loudspeaker loads.

Rising consumer awareness has forced some manufacturers to stop making outrageous, unsubstantiated claims of Class A power ratings that only exist in the fevered imagination of some marketing “expert”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill, there is a growing number of so-called “new” Class A topologies based on automatic biasing which somehow allows the amplifier to sense when the bias should increase to ensure constant Class A performance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf such a thing were to work as claimed, it would be tantamount to a re-writing of the laws of physics. In order for an amplifier to be able to increase bias and stabilize thermally to instantaneously meet the dynamics of the input, it would have to be able to predict what is going to happen next on the recording. Auto-biasing can by nature only respond to something that has already happened and the bias will rush up and down in a desperate attempt to follow the last note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut bluntly, there is no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to pure Class A, so we state with no apologies: True, pure CLASS A means heavy transformers, very large heatsinks, lots of heat, lots of electricity, expensive parts and costly assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe appreciate and endorse every effort to conserve energy and preserve our global resources, but our research into efforts to obtain Class A performance from alternative amplifier topologies makes it clear that there simply is no substitute for the sheer magic of pure class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, based on thorough analysis of typical listening situations, we have devised Gryphon Green Bias, a Gryphon invention (green for substantially reduced environmental impact).

With Apex Mono and Apex Stereo, Gryphon Audio Designs elevates pure Class A power amplification a titanic leap above what was previously considered possible. Gryphon Apex takes us several crucial steps closer in the never-ending quest for a more natural and convincing musical illusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears of experience developing Antileon EVO and Mephisto, as well as ongoing research in the fields of circuit topology, component quality and reliability have culminated in Apex: the new flagship amplifier of the Gryphon Audio Designs brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material specifications of Apex illustrate its cost-no-object design: Apex Mono features a staggering complement of 128 very high-current bipolar output transistors (64 per chassis), 2,080,000 μF (\u0026gt;2 Farad) capacitor banks (\u0026gt;1 Farad per chassis), four separate custom-made 2,000 VA toroidal transformers (two per chassis), all housed in a magnificently crafted, constrained-layer-damped chassis. Apex Stereo tips the scales at nearly 450 pounds, while a pair of Apex Mono weigh-in at 900 pounds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the massive power reserves available at all times, Gryphon Apex amplifiers simply do not “see” the loudspeaker; in other words, Apex’ virtually limitless reservoir of power and current renders it immune to loudspeaker characteristics. No speaker load, no matter how reactive, can affect Apex’ performance. This means that Apex always delivers its ultimate sound quality, regardless of loudspeaker choice. What’s more, unlike other high-power amplifiers, Gryphon’s no-compromise, pure Class A topology offers this prodigious power combined with ultimate refinement and delicacy in musical presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is Gryphon’s fundamental philosophy that all electronics in the playback chain should strive for neutrality, neither adding nor subtracting anything from the recording, no matter how “pleasing” such distortions may be. The Gryphon Apex is by nature a product for the fortunate few who can afford such a statement: a product for the connoisseurs who seek absolute purity in the reproduction of music. In short, Apex has been created for music lovers whose respect for the musicians, producers and mastering engineers inspires them to seek the truth lurking in the original recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Is Everything: in the world of High End Audio Amplification, this statement is literally true. With nearly 1800 RMS Watts into one Ohm (Mono), Gryphon Apex is ready to master even the most challenging speaker loads. Apex’ output section uses bipolar output devices (128 per Mono pair, 64 per Stereo amplifier), which have demonstrated extreme reliability in addition to unprecedented sonic performance. These transistors can be called upon to deliver very large peak power per channel without overload. Each transistor is individually bypassed with ZN film capacitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex’ driver section enjoys a separate, optimized power supply fed from individual windings on the custom-made toroidal transformers. Our unique and sophisticated mechanical design ensures optimal thermal tracking between drivers and output devices. This driver section features its own generous bank of the finest capacitors available for this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex’ power supply also utilizes capacitors especially chosen for this design. Absolutely zero global feedback is employed and DC coupling utilizes DC servo circuitry. Internal wiring in the signal path is kept to an absolute minimum. Input wiring is Gryphon Vanta single crystal solid core silver\/gold cable. Balanced inputs are provided exclusively, while Gryphon’s proprietary speaker terminals debut in Apex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique even in this lofty price range, the Gryphon Apex utilizes a completely independent transformer and linear power supply for display and control circuits, preventing digital noise generated by these circuits from contaminating the amplifier circuits. The new and proprietary Gryphon speaker terminals accept bare wire, spade lugs, banana connectors or any combination thereof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Class A\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue Class A operation has always been a Gryphon hallmark. Why? Because no other circuit topology can match the sonic perfection of pure Class A. Unfortunately, true Class A is even rarer today than when we introduced the legendary DM100 in 1991. Rising consumer awareness has forced some manufacturers to make outrageous, unsubstantiated claims of Class A power ratings that have more to do with marketing than technology. There are a growing number of so-called “new” Class A topologies based on automatic biasing which supposedly allow the amplifier to sense when the bias should increase to ensure constant Class A performance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut bluntly, you can’t cheat physics. There are no engineering shortcuts when it comes to pure Class A, so we repeat with no apologies: TRUE, PURE CLASS A means heavy transformers, very large heatsinks, large quantities of expensive parts and costly assembly. While we appreciate and endorse every effort to conserve energy and preserve our global resources, our research into efforts to obtain Class A performance from class A\/B topologies makes it clear that there simply is no substitute for the sheer magic of pure Class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, based on thorough analysis of typical listening situations, we have invented “Green Bias” (“Green” for reduced environmental impact). Green Bias offers TRUE, PURE CLASS A with considerably lower power consumption than traditional solutions.\u003cbr\u003eGreen bias in the new Gryphon Apex allows the user to select the amount of Class A required to run his speakers fully in Class A at any given time, encompassing such factors as speaker sensitivity, room size, musical dynamics and overall volume level. Green bias improves on our programmable bias by giving Gryphon’s fortunate system owners the option of letting the preamplifier automatically control bias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Green bias does not match the extreme low power consumption of Class A\/B, or even the low power consumption of misleading “auto-biasing” systems, it does offer significantly lower power consumption without sacrifice or compromise. PURE CLASS A performance is guaranteed! Apex users who own legacy Gryphon preamplifiers lacking Green Bias can access the programmable bias system manually via the Apex front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEternal Beauty\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExquisitely wrought from the finest materials available, Apex’ gorgeous, “Nordic Noir” chassis incorporates advanced constrained-layer-damping technologies to optimize resonance, while the specification of non-magnetic materials virtually eliminates electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn every design and construction aspect, Apex is designed to be cherished and appreciated for a lifetime.

With Apex Mono and Apex Stereo, Gryphon Audio Designs elevates pure Class A power amplification a titanic leap above what was previously considered possible. Gryphon Apex takes us several crucial steps closer in the never-ending quest for a more natural and convincing musical illusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears of experience developing Antileon EVO and Mephisto, as well as ongoing research in the fields of circuit topology, component quality and reliability have culminated in Apex: the new flagship amplifier of the Gryphon Audio Designs brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default mpc-row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-366221aff09bf55\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material specifications of Apex illustrate its cost-no-object design: Apex Mono features a staggering complement of 128 very high-current bipolar output transistors (64 per chassis), 2,080,000 μF (\u0026gt;2 Farad) capacitor banks (\u0026gt;1 Farad per chassis), four separate custom-made 2,000 VA toroidal transformers (two per chassis), all housed in a magnificently crafted, constrained-layer-damped chassis. Apex Stereo tips the scales at nearly 450 pounds, while a pair of Apex Mono weigh-in at 900 pounds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the massive power reserves available at all times, Gryphon Apex amplifiers simply do not “see” the loudspeaker; in other words, Apex’ virtually limitless reservoir of power and current renders it immune to loudspeaker characteristics. No speaker load, no matter how reactive, can affect Apex’ performance. This means that Apex always delivers its ultimate sound quality, regardless of loudspeaker choice. What’s more, unlike other high-power amplifiers, Gryphon’s no-compromise, pure Class A topology offers this prodigious power combined with ultimate refinement and delicacy in musical presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is Gryphon’s fundamental philosophy that all electronics in the playback chain should strive for neutrality, neither adding nor subtracting anything from the recording, no matter how “pleasing” such distortions may be. The Gryphon Apex is by nature a product for the fortunate few who can afford such a statement: a product for the connoisseurs who seek absolute purity in the reproduction of music. In short, Apex has been created for music lovers whose respect for the musicians, producers and mastering engineers inspires them to seek the truth lurking in the original recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Is Everything: in the world of High End Audio Amplification, this statement is literally true. With nearly 1800 RMS Watts into one Ohm (Mono), Gryphon Apex is ready to master even the most challenging speaker loads. Apex’ output section uses bipolar output devices (128 per Mono pair, 64 per Stereo amplifier), which have demonstrated extreme reliability in addition to unprecedented sonic performance. These transistors can be called upon to deliver very large peak power per channel without overload. Each transistor is individually bypassed with ZN film capacitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex’ driver section enjoys a separate, optimized power supply fed from individual windings on the custom-made toroidal transformers. Our unique and sophisticated mechanical design ensures optimal thermal tracking between drivers and output devices. This driver section features its own generous bank of the finest capacitors available for this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex’ power supply also utilizes capacitors especially chosen for this design. Absolutely zero global feedback is employed and DC coupling utilizes DC servo circuitry. Internal wiring in the signal path is kept to an absolute minimum. Input wiring is Gryphon Vanta single crystal solid core silver\/gold cable. Balanced inputs are provided exclusively, while Gryphon’s proprietary speaker terminals debut in Apex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique even in this lofty price range, the Gryphon Apex utilizes a completely independent transformer and linear power supply for display and control circuits, preventing digital noise generated by these circuits from contaminating the amplifier circuits. The new and proprietary Gryphon speaker terminals accept bare wire, spade lugs, banana connectors or any combination thereof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default mpc-row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-476221aff09ce27\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Class A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue Class A operation has always been a Gryphon hallmark. Why? Because no other circuit topology can match the sonic perfection of pure Class A. Unfortunately, true Class A is even rarer today than when we introduced the legendary DM100 in 1991. Rising consumer awareness has forced some manufacturers to make outrageous, unsubstantiated claims of Class A power ratings that have more to do with marketing than technology. There are a growing number of so-called “new” Class A topologies based on automatic biasing which supposedly allow the amplifier to sense when the bias should increase to ensure constant Class A performance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut bluntly, you can’t cheat physics. There are no engineering shortcuts when it comes to pure Class A, so we repeat with no apologies: TRUE, PURE CLASS A means heavy transformers, very large heatsinks, large quantities of expensive parts and costly assembly. While we appreciate and endorse every effort to conserve energy and preserve our global resources, our research into efforts to obtain Class A performance from class A\/B topologies makes it clear that there simply is no substitute for the sheer magic of pure Class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, based on thorough analysis of typical listening situations, we have invented “Green Bias” (“Green” for reduced environmental impact). Green Bias offers TRUE, PURE CLASS A with considerably lower power consumption than traditional solutions.\u003cbr\u003eGreen bias in the new Gryphon Apex allows the user to select the amount of Class A required to run his speakers fully in Class A at any given time, encompassing such factors as speaker sensitivity, room size, musical dynamics and overall volume level. Green bias improves on our programmable bias by giving Gryphon’s fortunate system owners the option of letting the preamplifier automatically control bias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Green bias does not match the extreme low power consumption of Class A\/B, or even the low power consumption of misleading “auto-biasing” systems, it does offer significantly lower power consumption without sacrifice or compromise. PURE CLASS A performance is guaranteed! Apex users who own legacy Gryphon preamplifiers lacking Green Bias can access the programmable bias system manually via the Apex front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default mpc-row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-136221aff09d1bc\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEternal Beauty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExquisitely wrought from the finest materials available, Apex’ gorgeous, “Nordic Noir” chassis incorporates advanced constrained-layer-damping technologies to optimize resonance, while the specification of non-magnetic materials virtually eliminates electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn every design and construction aspect, Apex is designed to be cherished and appreciated for a lifetime.

All Gryphon products have been conceived in this same perfectionist spirit: uncompromising engineering in the service of music. Impeccable build quality complemented by our original, highly refined “Nordic Noir” aesthetic sensibility and absolute simplicity of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe culmination of Gryphon’s four decades of philosophies, design goals and engineering expertise are fully realized in Commander: the most advanced preamplifier ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur starting point for Commander was Gryphon’s extraordinary Pandora, widely regarded as one of the world’s finest preamplifiers. Commander shares Pandora’s Dual-Mono layout with separate chassis for signal and power supply circuitry. Pandora’s single-ended Class A input buffer is retained, as it offers the compelling advantage of passing the signal through the smallest possible number of electrical components–two transistors and a single resistor–yielding sound that is exceptionally transparent, fast, natural and open. Neither preamplifier employs any global negative feedback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally, Commander embodies major advances in many sonically-critical areas, including a high-precision, extremely low noise voltage reference in connection with the analogue series regulators which supply the amplifier stages. The Commander’s voltage reference has approximately 50 times lower noise than the already-excellent reference used in Pandora! A pair of fully discrete, linear power supplies feed each channel’s analog circuit while a third is dedicated to the digital control circuitry, thus maintaining absolute mechanical separation and electrical isolation between digital and analog sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive finish of the Gryphon Commander and its companion Apex power amplifier symbolizes the authority and vitality of their music reproduction, which set new standards in such crucial aspects as timing, bass control, dynamic expansion and transparency. Commander’s power supply includes four custom-made toroidal transformers—two per stereo channel—engineered for minimal noise. Two of these (one per channel) power the dual-mono preamplifier circuits while the second pair are reserved for upcoming Gryphon source components, thereby ensuring a future-proof upgrade path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtensive use of aluminum chassis components lays a solid foundation for performance, yielding a highly stable, non-resonant enclosure that minimizes both mechanical and electrical degradation and providing optimal working conditions for Commander’s sensitive amplifier circuits. Unique to Commander, a constrained-layer-damped bottom plate—a “Sandwich” of three individual layers of Kerrock®, bitumen and steel—reduce resonances to an absolute minimum. All amplifier and analogue power supply circuit boards float above these bottom plates on specially-designed isolators, providing a pristine, virtually vibration-free environment for Commander’s sensitive circuitry. A quartet of Gryphon Atlas Spikes under each chassis move resonance control even closer to theoretical perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeedless to say, every part of Commander is the finest available: from the Charcroft Audio ultra-precision resistors used in our volume control to the premium, oversized Mundorf MCap® ZN foil capacitors specified for local power supply decoupling to the four custom-made 36VA toroidal transformers, no expense has been spared ensuring performance and build quality that defines the state-of-the-art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in an extra-thick, 4mm glass window, Commander’s 4.3” TFT capacitive touch display has been designed to ensure an utterly intuitive user interface. Volume can be controlled from either the front-panel display or the included Gryphon IR remote control. Customized system set-up is facilitated by extensive Commander menu control of such functions as start-up level, left\/right channel balance, maximum volume level, source level matching, input naming, display brightness (including Auto Dim On\/Off), dedicated AV-throughput for integration with Home Theater systems, output level and Green Bias adjustment for use with Gryphon power amplifiers. In a unique design flourish, Commander’s display changes with the listener’s distance from the system; in this way, Volume and other settings remain uniformly readable regardless of the listening position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Commander, you’re in control!

Recently, we’ve introduced breakthrough amplifier technology—first with Essence and then with Apex—then redefined preamplifier performance with Commander. Gryphon’s Vanta cabling likewise represented a dramatic step forward in metallurgy while our StandArt equipment racks brought audio furniture to a new level of both sonics and aesthetics. Now, we’re proud to introduce EOS 2: a new standard in compact loudspeaker design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGryphon’s new EOS-series is the brainchild of Gryphon Industrial Designer Soren Slebo \u0026amp; Benno Baun Meldgaard, Gryphon’s Chief Loudspeaker Designer. Former Head of Design for Gamut, Mr. Meldgaard is one of High-End Audio’s great young talents and his work for EOS delivers innovative solutions to achieving big speaker sound in small rooms. First among these is EOS’ unique “Stealth” enclosure, whose purpose-engineered front baffle enables the drivers to yield smooth dispersion and uniform energy output, as well as a more stable and dimensional soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEOS’ Stealth exterior has been sculpted to function as an efficient diffusor of standing waves—a great advantage in small spaces—while the interior has been critically shaped to eliminate standing waves and cabinet resonances. Gryphon’s proprietary “Line porting” technology, a new way of directing the back wave of the mid-woofer towards the ports, ensures a perfect path for the low frequencies to exit the enclosure while providing efficient damping of frequencies above the 60-80 Hz region. The result is shockingly fast and clean bass reproduction, free of distracting upper-frequency artifacts. Benno’s mandate to maximize room compatibility and placement flexibility yielded two additional design flourishes: EOS can be either front- or rear-ported by means of removable port plugs, while a three-position phase switch ensures ideal response at the listening position. Taken together, these two features enable unmatched versatility in speaker placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough EOS 2 is Gryphon’s most accessible loudspeaker, it offers uncompromising parts and build quality. Our proprietary woofer features a Thin-ply Carbon Fiber cone manufactured to our specifications by the world’s leading fabricator of Formula 1 components. EOS’ tweeter—also proprietary—uses a large (34mm) Beryllium dome and resonance-free rear enclosure for enhanced dynamics and low-end response. Hand-assembled from the finest components, our PCS (Progressive Curved Slope) crossover maximizes power handling and ensures a seamless transition between drivers. Featuring 91 dB efficiency and 4 Ohm minimum impedance, EOS 2 presents an easy load for virtually all high-quality power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvocative of Gryphon’s State-of-the-Art Kodo and Trident II loudspeakers, EOS’ handsome, stringed front grille combines beauty and protection with acoustic transparency. As Gryphon’s new entry-level loudspeaker, EOS 2 not only revolutionizes affordable performance but makes it possible to assemble a world-class music system at a price that was previously impossible. Combine EOS 2 with a Diablo Integrated Amplifier and Rosso cabling for a system whose aesthetic beauty and pride of ownership is surpassed only by its matchless musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe EOS 2 Enclosure is designed to have several functions incorporated:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front baffle is designed to aid the drivers in obtaining a smooth dispersion regardless of frequency, which yields a very uniform energy output, as well as a more stable soundstage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe “Stealth” exterior design both functions as an efficient diffusor of standing waves in the area around the speakers, but more importantly it eliminates standing waves and resonances inside the enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternally it consists of the new proprietary Gryphon “Line porting”, which is a special way of “tunnel-damping” the rear sound of the Mid-Woofer towards the Ports.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis ensures a direct path for the low frequencies to reach the port, while providing an efficient damping of frequencies above the 60-80 Hz region, resulting in a very fast and clean Bass reproduction, without disturbing artefacts from the upper frequencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy providing a choice between using a rear-OR front- firing port, The EOS 2 is very flexible and will work very well in both small and medium sized rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe EOS 2 is fitted with 2 Drive units, a 7.5” (190mm) Mid-Woofer and a 1.34” (34mm) Large-Dome Beryllium Tweeter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mid-Woofer is fitted with a powerful neodymium magnet which saturates the iron parts completely, resulting in a magnet-system with no compression. The cone is made of pure Thin-Ply Carbon fiber, (TPCD), resulting in one of the stiffest cones available today while also delivering a good inner damping resulting in a clean, fast and break-up free reproduction. This driver has no sound of its own therefore, the perfect match to the Beryllium Tweeter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Impulse optimizer ring, is positioned straight above the voice-coil hereby strengthening the bond between cone and voice-coil, resulting in unparalleled Impulse reproduction as well as a pure piston behavior well beyond its designated area of reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tweeter has a large Beryllium Dome, ensuring unparalleled dynamic reproduction while maintaining a very high bandwidth and extremely low distortion. We have created a large rear chamber implemented with a special damping that increases in steps, ensuring both a resonance free environment as well as the ability to reach quite low frequencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur precisely shaped waveguide further enhances its dispersion as well as linearity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crossover is the heart of the EOS 2 performance. Its unique technology, handles much more than just separation of the frequencies sent to each driver:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Progressive Rounded Slope technology creates roll-off slopes that start with a very soft roll-off, ensuring perfect overlap and blending between the drivers. The slopes then become progressively steeper, effectively removing the out of band distortion from the drivers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crossover also aligns the phase response of the two drivers at all frequencies (measured from the listening position) thereby reproducing a life- like soundstage in width, height, and depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth drivers are connected in positive polarity and their impulse responses are aligned perfectly. This means that musical timing is reproduced without any smearing or shifts – retaining the original musicality found in the recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gryphon Audio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":44234067869929,"sku":"EOS 2","price":24500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8750\/2569\/products\/eos2produktbillede-600x600.jpg?v=1673294039"},{"product_id":"gryphon-audio-vanta-usb-cable","title":"Gryphon Audio  Vanta USB  Cable","description":"\u003ch3\u003eGryphon Vanta USB Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGryphon Audio Designs proudly announces the release of a whole new series of cables.

replaces the Athena ball-bearing volume wheel with touch-sensitive up\/down buttons to create a volume attenuator consisting of 43 individual steps in 2 dB increments, with no more than two resistors in the volume control signal path at any given time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the numerous component upgrades of the Zena is an ultra-precise array of SMD metal-foil resistors and hermetically sealed, gold-plated, ultra-low capacitance Pickering reed relays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually crucial, the Zena volume attenuator is fully balanced, with no conversion of the signal from the XLR inputs to single-ended prior to attenuation, as was the case with the Athena. This simplification of the Zena signal path represents a major step forward in sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zena employs shunt regulators in the voltage supplies to the active circuits of the volume attenuator, in order to ensure a DC supply with ultra-low output impedance across a wide frequency band and optimal noise suppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo allow use in a surround system without compromising the stereo performance of the Gryphon Zena, the preamp now includes an expanded AV throughput function, so that either Input 2 (XLR) or input 3 (phono) can be configured as a 0 dB AV throughput for ideal integration with the owner’s multi-channel installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zena employs Wima polypropylene capacitors across the electrolytic capacitors in series regulated power supplies, as well as in parallel across Aluminium Organic Polymer capacitors in the shunt-regulated power supplies of the volume attenuator circuit. Schottky barrier diodes with low Von voltage are used in the analogue power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith no internal wiring, the only cabled exceptions are a short ground lead, display ribbons and AC power wiring mounted in a shielded channel from the rear IEC socket to the power switch to minimise 50\/60 Hz interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the top of the range Gryphon Pandora preamplifier, the Zena eliminates tone controls, balance knobs, polarity inversion, headphone connections, mono switches and other superfluous circuitry to reduce interchannel and signal path coloration to an absolute minimum for the ultimate in beat fidelity, known to the British audiophile as PRaT, more politely referred to as Pace, Rhythm and Timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlawlessly executed minimalist Scandinavian industrial design in various shades of black combines with a stylish user interface and all the functionality any serious 21st century music lover will ever desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zena also offers 12V DC link input and output for enhanced system control of system power on and off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ideal suppression of vibration and resonance, the substantial Zena chassis rests on proprietary cylindrical feet in front and two pointed rear cones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the minimalist fascia, setup is controlled through a menu, displayed across a dimmable graphical green\/blue vacuum fluorescent touch-sensitive panel with easy, responsive operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range of microprocessor controlled, fully adjustable menu items include input naming with up to 8 characters, maximum level, start level, input level trim up to 8dB, AV throughput, display brightness (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, Off), default restoration and Gryphon Green Bias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid dt-default mpc-row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 mpc-column\" data-column-id=\"mpc_column-835cb5d467465bd\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGreen Bias\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen connected via Gryphon’s proprietary Green Bias Link to a Gryphon power amplifier with Green Bias function, the Gryphon Zena preamp can control available Class A output, reducing power consumption and running the amp slightly cooler for periods of less critical listening. This feature adjusts the amplifier bias in relation to the preamplifier volume control setting for exactly the right amount of Class A power on demand as needed with massive instantaneous power reserves ready and waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo slave to convention, the Gryphon Zena remote control wand is a design exercise in simple elegance, a long aluminium box with square cross section in black satin. A built-in stand at one end lifts and tilts the remote to face the user. At the other end is the Gryphon logo in white. The quirky, but practical, device with responsive aluminium buttons is a pleasure to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gryphon Zena is the first Gryphon preamplifier to offer the option of installing either a phonostage or DAC module at time of original purchase or at a later date.

PowerZone 3 introduces a unique and entirely superior way of improving the signal passing through it. In an electrical circuit, current flow is attended by micro-vibrations on a molecular level; basically, all current flow is, by definition, the transmission of energy through micro-vibrations. Following Paul Hafner’s theory and approach, the vibration of electrons in the conductor creates a series of minute resonances generated by the signal passing through it. Paul’s specific approach differentiates a Dynamic (variable) signal from a Static signal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46d22e9 animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInRight\" data-id=\"46d22e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInRight\",\"_animation_delay\":100}' data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eHAFNERTECH™\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cd3745 animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeInRight\" data-id=\"4cd3745\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInRight\",\"_animation_delay\":300}' data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a typical circuit, the transmission of a variable signal through a conductor creates uncontrolled resonance, analogous to aerodynamic turbulence, due to the random crystalline structure of the conductor through which the signal passes. The objective, then, is to optimize the flow of current within the signal path. By sending the power through focused and idealized crystalline conductor structures, PowerZone 3 optimizes the electrons’ vibrational flow and minimizes spurious resonances and the distortions they create. This is achieved by the proprietary HafnerTech™ conductor approach, a Patent-pending design comprised of adapted crystalline structures that facilitate this vibrational flow in an undisturbed way. As a result, because there is no loss of energy, this technology will produce no additional noise or heat. The objective of these conductors is to create a neutral, optimized environment through which the AC power can pass without introducing stress, confusion and distortion to the signal but enhance the speed and precision of the transmitted current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConceived by Paul Hafner, Founder of Quantum Acoustics SRL, Gryphon PowerZone 3 components utilize a series of HafnerTech™ Conductor Modules which have been purpose-engineered to achieve idealized transmission of the audio power signal. Based upon the principles of Quantum Acoustics Resonant Feedback Theory, these modules benefit from carefully adapted geometric structures at molecular level which guide the electrons’ vibrational flow. This is accomplished without any current limiting, filtering or active signal processing in order to preserve the integrity of the AC Signal. HafnerTech™ Modules are potted in resin to mitigate vibration and deliver the sort of heirloom build quality expected of all Gryphon components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio components powered by a properly guided current flow will deliver vastly superior performance: the current will suffer less artifacts and restrictions resulting in a faster, smoother, more precise and cleaner performance. Even Room Acoustics will have a less deleterious influence upon sound quality, as rooms tend to disproportionally amplify the negative resonant characteristics of reproduced sound. The sonic improvements brought by Gryphon PowerZone 3 must be heard to be appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a204773 animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInLeft\" data-id=\"a204773\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInLeft\",\"_animation_delay\":100}' data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eSmartstack™\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a8af1e elementor-widget__width-initial animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeInLeft\" data-id=\"1a8af1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInLeft\",\"_animation_delay\":300}' data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat attention has been focused upon providing an optimal environment for the HafnerTech™ modules to flourish.

The chassis themselves are crafted from Dual Layers whose steel cores are clad in aluminum exteriors, delivering vault-like solidity. PowerZone 3 further benefits from SmartStack™ technology, a patented compound developed by Denmark’s MENETA Group. PowerZone 3 is the first product outside the automotive industry to utilize this revolutionary material and PowerZone 3 enclosures benefit from a unique application of this technology, with measurements, calculations and simulations performed by MENETA Group in their Danish R\u0026amp;D facility.

PowerZone 3 introduces a unique and entirely superior way of improving the signal passing through it. In an electrical circuit, current flow is attended by micro-vibrations on a molecular level; basically, all current flow is, by definition, the transmission of energy through micro-vibrations. Following Paul Hafner’s theory and approach, the vibration of electrons in the conductor creates a series of minute resonances generated by the signal passing through it. Paul’s specific approach differentiates a Dynamic (variable) signal from a Static signal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInRight\",\"_animation_delay\":100}' data-e-type=\"widget\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"46d22e9\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46d22e9 animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInRight\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eHAFNERTECH™\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInRight\",\"_animation_delay\":300}' data-e-type=\"widget\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4cd3745\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cd3745 animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeInRight\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a typical circuit, the transmission of a variable signal through a conductor creates uncontrolled resonance, analogous to aerodynamic turbulence, due to the random crystalline structure of the conductor through which the signal passes. The objective, then, is to optimize the flow of current within the signal path. By sending the power through focused and idealized crystalline conductor structures, PowerZone 3 optimizes the electrons’ vibrational flow and minimizes spurious resonances and the distortions they create. This is achieved by the proprietary HafnerTech™ conductor approach, a Patent-pending design comprised of adapted crystalline structures that facilitate this vibrational flow in an undisturbed way. As a result, because there is no loss of energy, this technology will produce no additional noise or heat. The objective of these conductors is to create a neutral, optimized environment through which the AC power can pass without introducing stress, confusion and distortion to the signal but enhance the speed and precision of the transmitted current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConceived by Paul Hafner, Founder of Quantum Acoustics SRL, Gryphon PowerZone 3 components utilize a series of HafnerTech™ Conductor Modules which have been purpose-engineered to achieve idealized transmission of the audio power signal. Based upon the principles of Quantum Acoustics Resonant Feedback Theory, these modules benefit from carefully adapted geometric structures at molecular level which guide the electrons’ vibrational flow. This is accomplished without any current limiting, filtering or active signal processing in order to preserve the integrity of the AC Signal. HafnerTech™ Modules are potted in resin to mitigate vibration and deliver the sort of heirloom build quality expected of all Gryphon components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio components powered by a properly guided current flow will deliver vastly superior performance: the current will suffer less artifacts and restrictions resulting in a faster, smoother, more precise and cleaner performance. Even Room Acoustics will have a less deleterious influence upon sound quality, as rooms tend to disproportionally amplify the negative resonant characteristics of reproduced sound. The sonic improvements brought by Gryphon PowerZone 3 must be heard to be appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInLeft\",\"_animation_delay\":100}' data-e-type=\"widget\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"a204773\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a204773 animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInLeft\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eSmartstack™\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"fadeInLeft\",\"_animation_delay\":300}' data-e-type=\"widget\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1a8af1e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a8af1e elementor-widget__width-initial animated-slow elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeInLeft\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat attention has been focused upon providing an optimal environment for the HafnerTech™ modules to flourish. HafnerTech™ modules are potted in resin to mitigate vibration and deliver the sort of heirloom build quality expected of all Gryphon components. The chassis themselves are crafted from Dual Layers whose steel cores are clad in aluminum exteriors, delivering vault-like solidity. PowerZone 3 further benefits from SmartStack™ technology, a patented compound developed by Denmark’s MENETA Group. PowerZone 3 is the first product outside the automotive industry to utilize this revolutionary material and PowerZone 3 enclosures benefit from a unique application of this technology, with measurements, calculations and simulations performed by MENETA Group in their Danish R\u0026amp;D facility.
