About the Commander
The Gryphon Commander is the pinnacle of Gryphon Audio's preamplifier lineup, designed for uncompromising audiophiles seeking ultimate transparency and control. This two-chassis design separates the power supply and signal/control circuits for optimal isolation, with the power supply alone weighing over 84 lbs and the signal/control chassis 67 lbs. The Commander features a true dual-mono configuration, zero negative global feedback, and a microprocessor-controlled 85-step relay volume attenuator using Charcroft Z-Foil resistors. Its fully discrete, balanced, dual-differential Class A line stage circuitry ensures exceptional sonic purity. The preamp offers four balanced XLR and two single-ended RCA inputs, with balanced and single-ended outputs. A 4.3-inch TFT touch display provides intuitive control, and the chassis construction uses advanced damping materials for vibration control. Designed and built in Denmark, the Commander is a statement piece in both performance and aesthetics.
