Gryphon’s basic philosophy is one of sonic neutrality. We prefer to leave interpretation to the
musicians and singers. Therefore, you should not need a cable with a particular “sound” of its
own to balance or “equalize” your system. Unfortunately, in some circles, cables have become
an acceptable equalizer in the High-End audio industry.
Take the advice of your authorized Gryphon dealer in selecting interconnects and
loudspeaker cables for your Gryphon equipment and for that matter power cords as well. After
all, we are listening to current “converted” into music!
Naturally, Gryphon’s own range of interconnects, loudspeaker cables and power cords are
used in the development of Gryphon products. Gryphon cables are designed for ultimate
neutrality and resolution. They are extremely revealing and will allow the ultimate quality of your
Gryphon system or any fine audio components to come through clearly and undiminished.
All Gryphon amplifiers are designed and manufactured with an extreme bandwidth and in
some cases the wrong choice of speaker cable can become an issue and will create potential
problems in the collaboration between the amplifier and the speakers, with the speaker cable as
an interactive factor. Gryphon recommends that no speaker cable on a Gryphon amplifier
should be with a coaxial design, active shielding or special boxes that will add-on different types
of filtration. A speaker cable with a coaxial design or with active shielding will in most cases
have a much lower bandwidth than the amplifier and therefore the amplifier will be met with a
too high capacitive load and might cause oscillation of the amplifier. There is no need to actively
add filtration on an analogue amplifier. It doesn’t serve the final reproduction of the music any
good.
Gryphon recommends using speaker cables with a low capacitance and a wide bandwidth
in order to match the specs of the amplifier’s bandwidth and output impedance. There is no
need to add more “negative” filtration to the system as Gryphon is striving to have the finest
level of tonal balance and neutrality. Choose your cables with the highest level of attention to
the actual parameters of the cable design (e.g. cable geometry, capacitance, bandwidth,
insulation, conductor material and connectors) and aim for low capacitance, low resistance and
sonic neutrality.
