Musical Objective

Every Gryphon product exists for one simple purpose: To bring the user closer in the neverending quest for a more natural and convincing musical illusion. 

GRYPHON HELIOS Preamplifier & PSU 5 Power Supply

Since its introduction, The Gryphon Pandora established a new benchmark in Line Preamplifier performance, embodying Gryphon’s philosophy of sonic excellence and timeless design. Now, this legendary lineage enters a new era with The Gryphon Helios—a preamplifier defined not just by refinement, but by a profound transformation of what is possible.

Pandora’s Four Boxes

In Greek mythology, Pandora was created at Zeus’ command as the first woman on earth. Her name means “the all-gifted”, because the gods endowed her with numerous precious talents. From Aphrodite, she received beauty, divine grace, charm and harmony; from Apollo, the gift of music; from Hermes, the power of subtle persuasion; from Athena, soul and from the Graces, love, tenderness, beauty, kindness, pleasure, creativity, artistry, and sensuality.

We have captured these virtues in the four-chassis Gryphon Pandora preamplifier with total isolation of left and right channels on separate chassis and dedicated dual mono power supplies in individual chassis to protect the audio signal from any interference.

Overview

The Gryphon Essence pure Class A amplification system has been developed based on the experience acquired and lessons learned from our top of the line Gryphon Pandora preamplifier and the stereo and monoblock Mephisto power amplifiers. Gryphon Essence exudes authority and maintains absolute control of your loudspeakers, with rarefied finesse to reveal even the subtlest variations in any style of music.
