The output section of Gryphon Mephisto Stereo uses Sanken bipolar transistors which can to deliver momentary peak power of 4,000 watts per channel with-out overload! Gryphon Audio uses original scheme - each of the 40 transistors is bypassed with individual film capacitors and the driver section has its own supply based on the custom-made toroidal transformers. The capacitors are divided into two sections – diver section has 50.000 uF of ultra-fast capacitance, power capacitor bank has big 500,000 uF array. Of course there us no negative feedback employed.

    Gryphon Audio ESSENCE

    The Gryphon Essence Stereo is equipped with a capacitor bank with a total capacity of 440,000 UF and weighs 45 kg. There is no global negative feedback, a servo drive is used for direct current communication. The design, of course, is balanced, a full-fledged "double mono". A specially manufactured shielded high-current toroidal transformer with separate windings for the left and right channels was used.

    Gryphon Audio ANTILEON EVO

    The Antileon EVO Stereo is a two-channel power amplifier from the Danish company Gryphon Audio Designs. It belongs to Class A amplifiers. However, on its front panel there are 3 buttons for selecting different gain modes: Bias H, Bias M and Bias L, switching to Class A mode (150 watts), to the boundary between A and AB and AB mode (50 watts) respectively.

  • Apex Stereo

    Gryphon Audio Apex Stereo

    Apex works in Class A. This has been a tradition for Gryphon Audio Design since 1991. Its developers don't see any other circuit topology. A special feature of the amplifier is the presence of branded Gryphon terminals for connecting speakers. They are suitable for bare wires, banana connectors, petal tips, etc.
