Gryphon Audio has ventured into the realm of phono cartridges with the launch of its state-of-the-art Black Diamond DLC. This groundbreaking product reflects Gryphon’s commitment to excellence and innovation in audio engineering. But what does a company known primarily for its high-end audio equipment know about cartridge design? As it turns out, quite a lot.

Expertise and Collaboration: A Foundation for Innovation

Gryphon Audio’s expertise in audio technology is complemented by strong partnerships with some of the best minds in phono transducer design and materials technology. This collaborative approach has led to the creation of what the company believes to be the finest phono cartridge available today. The Black Diamond DLC is not just another product; it is a culmination of years of research, development, and collaboration with industry leaders.

Inspiration from Excellence: The Ortofon MC Diamond

The design of the Gryphon Black Diamond DLC draws inspiration from the acclaimed Ortofon MC Diamond, a phono cartridge lauded for its advanced technology and exceptional sound quality. The MC Diamond features a diamond cantilever, an Ortofon Replicant 100 diamond stylus, and a titanium body crafted using a cutting-edge Selective Laser Melting process. It has set a benchmark for high-quality phono cartridges, and Gryphon has taken this concept further.

Striking Aesthetic and Sonic Innovation

While the visual appeal of the Black Diamond DLC is evident through its sleek black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, the real magic lies beneath its surface. Gryphon has innovated beyond the Ortofon MC Diamond, establishing new standards for sound quality. The DLC-TR Coated SLM Titanium, developed in collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute, significantly enhances sonic performance. This titanium material doubles the transmission speed of sound and resonance, increasing it from 9,000 meters/second to an impressive 18,000 meters/second. The result? Unprecedented clarity, detail, and musicality that elevate the listening experience to a new level.

Advanced Features for Superior Performance

The Black Diamond DLC is not just about aesthetics and material innovation. Gryphon has meticulously upgraded various components to ensure exceptional performance. The cartridge’s coil wire has been enhanced from copper to gold-plated copper, significantly improving conductivity and longevity. This wire is arranged in a newly developed 6-layer coil configuration, with 2 x 84 windings per channel, further elevating signal quality.

Additionally, the front and rear rubber bearings have been crafted from a specially formulated rubber compound, providing unparalleled durability and performance. This means that owners of the Black Diamond DLC can expect a longer, maintenance-free lifespan. Moreover, the mechanical tension of the generating system has been optimized to work seamlessly with these advanced components, ensuring peak performance and reliability.

A Unique Collaboration Resulting in a Unique Product

The comprehensive engineering program behind the Black Diamond DLC exemplifies Gryphon’s commitment to excellence in every aspect of cartridge design. The collaboration between Gryphon, Ortofon, and the Danish Technological Institute has resulted in a product that is not only unique but also a testament to Danish innovation and craftsmanship.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
