Overview

Gryphon Antileon EVO employs a dual mono configuration with zero global negative feedback, in pure Class A bias. A true high current design, with full power instantaneously available at all times, regardless of the actual load.

Designed by Gryphon's A-team: Flemming E. Rasmussen design with electronics by Tom Møller,  military spec. double-sided up to 105my copper printed circuit boards are coupled with 40 high current bipolar Toshiba output transistors and premium Polypropylene capacitors with a 335.0000μF capacitor bank, per stereo channel.

The well-shielded, epoxy-damped transformer casings are suspended for effective vibration isolation. A separate power supply drives the display and control circuit.

Bias adjustment is available in three-steps (Low/Mid/High bias) to match with a wide array of speakers.

About Gryphon

Gryphon Audio Designs emerged from Denmark in 1985, founded by Flemming E. Rasmussen as a passionate offshoot of his distribution company, 2R Marketing. What began as a spare-time project—a compact, dual-mono phono preamplifier known as the Gryphon Head Amp—quickly gained acclaim after debuting at the 1986 Chicago Consumer Electronics Show. Japanese distributors snapped it up, and the audio press hailed it as a "Best Buy," propelling Rasmussen to establish Gryphon as a dedicated entity by the early 1990s, free from import distractions. The brand's name draws from the mythical gryphon, symbolizing the fusion of lion-like power and eagle-like grace in music reproduction.

Gryphon specializes in uncompromising high-end electronics, starting with its legendary class-A phono stages and evolving into high-power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems. The company expanded into full-system solutions with the 2002 Cantata stand-mount speakers, followed by flagship models like the massive Poseidon in 2004. Today, its portfolio encompasses speakers, the groundbreaking Apollo turntable—a collaboration with Helmut Brinkmann and Ortofon—and even cables, ensuring every link in the audio chain aligns with Gryphon's neutral, optimized design philosophy.

Positioned firmly at the pinnacle of high-end audio, Gryphon commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its visionary engineering and sonic purity, often setting benchmarks since its inception as one of Europe's earliest true high-end pioneers. Rasmussen's team-driven approach yields products that prioritize musical essence over compromise, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance in home systems.
