The Gryphon Mirage is a reference stereo preamplifier and control amplifier, not an integrated amplifier, designed as a modular three-piece system combining striking industrial design with state-of-the-art audio engineering. It employs a true dual-mono, fully discrete, pure Class A topology with mirror-imaged circuit boards and separate, isolated power supplies for each channel to minimize crosstalk and noise and preserve low-level detail. The Mirage's distinctive architecture includes a main preamplifier chassis, a detachable control section, and a substantial solid-aluminum remote wand that serves as the user interface for volume, source selection, and power, and can be placed separately with wireless communication between the control section and main chassis. The chassis and control elements feature heavy, precision-machined aluminum construction with signature Gryphon styling, and the unit offers multiple high-quality line-level inputs and outputs aimed at reference two-channel systems, earning praise for its exceptional transparency, soundstage depth, and ability to reproduce a wide range of music with precision and musicality.
