Offered is „Komplett Anlage“ by Gryphon as second-hand device from the category „CD Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6595005436 ends on 19.12.2026 at 19:13 o'clock.
This is a fair-to-slightly-ambitious buyer’s market for Gryphon CD hardware, but the listing is hard to benchmark precisely because the title does not identify the model and appears to describe a complete system. At €10,000, it sits above the €8,787 median from 79 comparable listings, yet comfortably below the €16,403 75th percentile. That makes it reasonable if the package genuinely includes the associated Gryphon electronics and loudspeakers, rather than merely a CD player.
Gryphon components are well regarded for imposing build quality, muscular presentation, and excellent system synergy, while complete matching systems can be more compelling than piecing them together separately. The reported original price of €17,000 supports the asking figure, but the buyer should establish exactly what is included, confirm model numbers, and check service history, remote controls, and speaker condition. With a complete, clean system, €10,000 could be a worthwhile opportunity; for only an unspecified CD player, it is too much.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
