Legato Legacy XLR

Who would have thought just five or ten years ago that the venerable LP might actually outlive the compact disc? For many audiophiles, despite the massive digital hype of the past three decades, the LP remains by a significant margin the finest high fidelity medium ever offered for home use. Its comprehensive catalogue of titles will never be rivaled by the compact disc, which already appears to be on its way to a carefully orchestrated obsolescence.

In spite of the theoretically perfect measurements of even the most basic digital audio format, we at Gryphon simply hear more music when listening to the LP. This is a good thing, considering that the number of LP’s released during the course of the last half a century will never be matched by the CD in its brief lifespan.

In 1994, Gryphon stunned the audiophile community with the Gryphon Orestes phonostage, the world’s first fully balanced MC preamp. Perhaps equally surprised by the fact that we chose to do it all as by how well it was done, the audio press had only the highest praise and admiration for the Orestes, “Utterly convincing. With a delightful firmness and wonderful resolution, it enhanced the performance of one MC cartridge after another. It offers earth-shaking bass and beguiling, airy highs.” (Audio, Germany).

PS3

Gryphon Audio Designs has consistently offered unwavering support to the LP format with high performance MC/MM phono stages as optional modules for installation in preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers at all price points across our product range.

Based on the legendary Legato phono stage, the Gryphon PS3 MM/MC Phono Module is a true balanced dual-mono design for enhanced channel separation, capable of extracting every musical detail for ultimate realism.

The PS3 is an updated version of our renowned PS2 and PS2-S, offering an extended range of MC cartridge load impedance options accessible through rear panel and fully balanced signal handling.

PS2-S MM/MC Phono Module

Gryphon Audio Designs has consistently offered unswavering support to the LP format with high performance MC/MM phonostages as optional modules for installation in preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers at all price points across our product range.

Based on the legendary Legato phonostage, the Gryphon PS2-S MM/MC Phono Module is a true dual-mono design for enhanced channel separation, capable of extracting every musical detail for ultimate realism.

More than 30 years after the introduction of the compact disc, the LP still represents the largest selection of recorded music on any storage medium in human history. Therefore, we believe it is essential that Gryphon owners have full access to the artistic vision captured for all time by this high-resolution format.

The PS2-S is an updated version of our renowned PS2 offering a wider range of cartridge load impedance options.

Our integrated amplifiers and the Essence – and Zena preamplifiers can be ordered with the Phono Module factory-installed.
The module can also be added to the Diablo 300, Diablo 120, Diablo, Atilla, Athena, Essence or Zena later.
