Audio components come and go over the years, but a few designs are so fundamentally correct from their inception that the product’s basic architecture cannot be improved upon. A prime example is the Antileon power amplifier from Gryphon Audio Systems of Denmark. Introduced in 1995, the ...
Time for the inevitable showdown: the Gryphon Audio Designs Apex versus the Boulder Amplifiers 2060. Boulder Amplifiers (located in Louisville, Colorado) makes exquisitely built, super-engineered products that I have long held in very high regard. So much so, in fact, that I chose to buy a ...
it is "only" 50 Watts per channel. But as I said inmy review of the Pass Laboratories INT-25 Integrated amplifier,which is rated at 25 Wpc, "Class A amplifiers conduct high current even at idle, and so they end up sending
Gryphon Audio Designs thinks so. In contrast to Gryphon's volume knob–dominated Pandora preamplifier, the Danish company's new Commander offers nothing on its bold front panel to grab or turn. Instead, there's a large, extra-thick, triangular glass protuberance that extends dramatically below t...
As the culmination of our July tour of the Gryphon Audio Designs facility in Aarhus, Denmark, my wife, Andrea, and I, along with Abigail and Ian, our daughter and son, entered a brand-new Gryphon listening room—a space that had recently been renovated by the company. On dem...
Gryphon Audio Designs recommend Atlas spikes especially in conjunction with vibration-sensitive tube amplification, motor-driven components such as turntables and disc players and amplifiers with extensive internal wiring. By providing a minimal, single point of contact, Gryphon Atlas eliminates the adverse...
The Gryphon Apex Stereo and the sibling Apex Mono amplifiers (which were not auditioned here) are both powerful, cost-no-object designs. Both are biased heavily into class-A, meaning that the transistors never turn off, from the largest positive voltage through the maximum negative voltage. It...

three points. And it is hard to understand why such solutions are so rare in audio. Apart from a few cases of small companies, the only predecessor of Gryphon could be a German company, whose name, unfortunately, I forgot, which a dozen or so years ago offered amplifiers in such ...
