T
he Gryphon team would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank you for purchasing the Gryphon
Preamplifier XT. To ensure optimum performance and maximum satisfaction, please read the owner's manual
before proceeding to listen to your latest acquisition. As designers, audiophiles and music enthusiasts, we are well aware
that most manuals a re read in the first heated moments of actually listening to the equipment, but we do advise you to
read this manual carefully before installing the Gryphon Preamplifier XT.
The Gryphon Preamplifier XT is a »prestige product« in the only meaningful sense of the term: a handmade product in
very limited numbers based on the extensive research and development efforts of professional audio engineers, a
component expert, a mechanical engineer and a designer. The Gryphon Preamp is the end result of three years of
constant experimentation and investigation into the behavior of audio circuits under »real world« conditions. It is our
intention to offer to the serious music lover a true state of the art system control amplifier which will extract the full
measure of musical satisfaction from whatever source is used.
Working for our own pleasure as much as for anything else, we have challenged ourselves to push back the borders of
audio component performance in a series of no-compromise, cost-no-object designs. The Gryphon Preamplifier XT is the
latest realization of these goals and stands proudly alongside the Gryphon Headamp and the Gryphon Phonostage.
