ucts utilize conductor tracks a

mere 35 um thick, Gryphon

employs at least 70 um traces of

the highest purity.

Beginning with our very first

product, “The Head Amp” all

Gryphon products have featured

extremely wide frequency band-

width, because the ability to

reproduce ultra-sonic frequen-

cies with no difficulty ensures lin-

ear phase across the audible fre-

quency range.

The implementation of circuits

with wideband frequency

response is a painstaking

endeavor in which the actual lay-

out and ground pattern of the PC

boards are crucial to the

achievement of superior sonic

performance with no loss of

inherent stability.

Wideband frequency response

ensures the high slew rate

essential to the realistic handling

of the ultra-fast transients which

routinely occur in live music and

is crucial in recreating the natu-

ral decay of musical instruments.

Wide bandwidth also improves

phase characteristics, for more

correct soundstaging and imag-

ing.

All Gryphon designs are realized

with an absolute minimum of

negative feedback, which when

present in large amounts can

actually increase TIM distortion.

All Gryphon preamplifiers are

designed with zero negative

feedback. Gryphon power ampli-

fiers apply negative feedback

judiciously for improved linearity

and bandwidth.

Gryphon research into the detri-

mental effects of magnetically

induced distorted (MID) has led

to the elimination of magnetiz-

able materials wherever possi-

ble. To eliminate the effects of

stray magnetic fields, non-mag-

netic materials are employed

throughout, with the unavoidable

exception of the transformer

shield box.

The mechanical design of the

cabinet and assembly methods

are all carefully calculated to

ensure minimal resonance,

either through the use of

mechanically grounded high

mass or decoupling. Vibration-

sensitive components, capaci-

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
