Overview

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.
