tors in particular, are thus guar-
anteed a non-resonant environ-
ment.
The heavy, thick chassis offers a
vibration-proof environment for
the sensitive electronics inside
and provides crucial shielding
from a polluted world of low and
high-frequency radio waves,
power-line radiation and other
electrical interference.
Meticulous attention to such
issues makes a significant con-
tribution to the relaxing, open
and transparent Gryphon sound.
Unique, non-invasive protection
circuitry offers reliable, fuss-free
protection without compromising
signal purity and signal path sim-
plicity, with no conventional
relays in the signal path to
degrade or compress sound.
The ground path has been care-
fully laid out in order to achieve
superior sonic performance with
no loss of stability. Component
layout has been designed to
ensure the shortest conceivable
signal path.
Exhaustive investigation under-
lies the selection of every com-
ponent part and many original,
proprietary components are cus-
tom-built exclusively for
Gryphon. Because what is left
out is just as important as what
goes in, an absolute minimum of
internal wiring is included.
By lavishing attention on each
aspect of the circuit and fully
understanding the purpose and
behavior of every single part of
the whole, our designers can
optimize performance in each
section, before moving on to the
next step. This ensures simplici-
ty, a short signal path and a unity
of purpose with a single, well-
defined objective: musical purity.
In the interest of ultimate fidelity,
tone controls, balance controls
and other unnecessary compo-
nents have been banished from
the signal path.
