Product Description

xperience pure musical bliss with the Gryphon Essence amplifier. Designed with a minimalist approach, this amplifier delivers unparalleled sonic neutrality, textural purity, and dynamic ease.

The Essence amplifier features an ultra-wide frequency bandwidth of 0.5 Hz – 350 kHz (+0 dB, -3 dB) and is conservatively rated at 50W (8Ω), 100W (4Ω), 200W (2Ω) in stereo, Class A and at 55W (8Ω), 110W (4Ω), 220W (2Ω) (Monoblock), Class A. This power output guarantees stability with any loudspeaker load, making it an ideal choice for even the most demanding musical passages.

With a dual mono design, the Gryphon Essence amplifier employs a custom-built, shielded, high-current toroidal transformer with dual windings for the left and right channel. The output and driver stages have separate power supplies, providing effective isolation and optimal thermal tracking between drivers and output devices. The driver section also has its own generous bank of high-quality capacitors.

The Gryphon Essence amplifier features unique mechanical design and wiring in the signal path is kept to a minimum. The amplifier utilizes a completely independent power supply for display and control circuits to prevent digital noise generated by these circuits from reaching the amplifier circuits.

The Essence amplifier is protected by a unique, non-invasive protection system that offers reliable, fuss-free protection without compromising signal purity and signal path simplicity. The amplifier has a constant temperature monitor, and in the event of overheating, it will shut down, and normal operation will resume when a safe operating temperature is reached.

True Class A operation has always been a Gryphon benchmark, and the Gryphon Essence amplifier is no exception. The Gryphon Green Bias control allows the user to select the amount of Class A required to run their speakers fully in Class A at any given time, taking into account factors such as speaker sensitivity, room size, musical dynamics, and overall volume level. The programmable Class A bias is an efficient, convenient means of reducing power consumption without compromising Class A performance.

Overall, the Gryphon Essence amplifier is a masterpiece of audio engineering that is the perfect choice for audiophiles seeking purity in the reproduction of music. It's 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. Experience the Gryphon Essence amplifier and get closer to the natural and convincing musical illusion you've been seeking.
