Offered is „Guideline MK2 RCA 2x1m“ by Gryphon as second-hand device from the category „Cinch Cable (Analog)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1681651566 ends on 12.11.2026 at 06:38 o'clock.
At €680, this sits below the €711 25th percentile and well under the €742 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a merely fair one. For a Gryphon guideline interconnect, that’s a nice entry point into a respected high-end cable without paying the usual premium.
Gryphon’s cable line is typically valued for a very clean, resolved presentation with good weight and control, and these guides are the kind of interconnects people tend to keep once they’ve matched them to a system. If the listing is complete and the condition is genuinely good, the upside here is simple: excellent brand, sensible price, and little reason to hesitate unless you need a different length or termination.

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.
