Gryphon Audio is a Danish high-end brand founded in 1985. Its first product was a moving coil step-up unit, which in many ways set the template for components the company makes to this day. Since that auspicious beginning, Gryphon’s products have always been positioned at the top end of the market, prioritising engineering purity and performance above all else.
The Diablo 333 amplifier is a fine example of the breed. It is the pricier of the company’s two integrated options, and sits in an extensive range that includes almost every part of the audio chain. The breadth of Gryphon’s output is wide for such a modestly-sized brand and includes a complete record deck, including tonearm and cartridge, alongside various phono stages, integrated and pre/power amplifiers plus a small range of not so small speakers.
