Gryphon PS2-S MM/MC Phono Module (for Diablo 120, 300, Zena and Essence Preamp)
The Gryphon PS2-S MM/MC Phono Module is a true dual-mono design for enhanced channel separation, capable of extracting every musical detail for ultimate realism.
Gryphon PS2-S MM/MC Phonostage
Gryphon Audio Designs has consistently offered unwavering support to the LP format with high performance MC/MM phonostages as optional modules for installation in preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers at all price points across our product range.
Based on the legendary Legato phonostage, the Gryphon PS2-S MM/MC Phono Module is a true dual-mono design for enhanced channel separation, capable of extracting every musical detail for ultimate realism.
More than 30 years after the introduction of the compact disc, the LP still represents the largest selection of recorded music on any storage medium in human history. Therefore, we believe it is essential that Gryphon owners have full access to the artistic vision captured for all time by this high-resolution format.
The PS2-S is an updated version of our renowned PS2 (initially designed with Bens Micro in mind with only 20 and 100 ohm loading options) offering a wider range of cartridge load impedance options (20, 100, 200, 499, 806, and a custom load option).
Our integrated amplifiers and the Zena preamplifier can be ordered with the Phono Module factory-installed.
The module can also be added to the Diablo 300, Diablo 120, Diablo, Atilla, Athena or Zena later.
