Sonett

About the Sonett

The Gryphon Sonett is a premium phono stage preamplifier designed and manufactured in Denmark by Gryphon Audio Designs. It features a zero negative feedback design and a true dual mono Class A topology, ensuring exceptional audio purity and low distortion. Compatible with both Moving Coil (MC) and Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges, it offers extensive loading options via rear panel switches for precise cartridge matching. The Sonett employs polypropylene capacitors in the RIAA correction stages, discrete analog components, and a DC-coupled topology from input to output. It uses low noise ±21V DC regulated power supplies with separate Talema toroidal transformers for each channel to minimize magnetic interference. The ultra-short signal path with minimal internal wiring and PCB-mounted sockets further reduce noise and signal degradation. Gold-plated phono input and output sockets with Teflon insulation ensure high-quality connections. The unit is housed in a sleek black cabinet with minimal front panel controls, emphasizing its audiophile focus. It is designed to be a perfect companion to Gryphon integrated amplifiers but also serves as a stand-alone phono preamplifier for vinyl enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance.
