Gryphon Audio Designs VANTA Cable Range Announced

Gryphon Audio Designs has announced the release of its flagship cable range dubbed VANTA - consisting of speaker cables, power cables, as well as analogue and digital interconnects. A great way to celebrate the company's 35th birthday.

Gryphon tells us that the VANTA Series uses a highly unique Silver-Gold alloy for each individual conductor, which is then tightly sealed in a tube of PTFE insulation. That is then surrounded by a braided screen of silver-plated copper wires which, we are told, secures the best possible insulation and signal transmission. Finally, all of that is wrapped in a glossy black Polyurethane jacket.

All VANTA Cables are terminated by connectors supplied by leading manufactures such as Oyaide and Neutrik. The connectors are soldered to the Silver-Gold conductors under a microscope to make sure that all connections are soldered to perfection, says Gryphon.

This is terminated with an Oyaide C-079/C-279 IEC connector with deoxidised phosphor bronze plated with 24K gold and palladium connector blades. At the other end is an Oyaide P-079/P-079e Male Power Connector which also features Connector blades of deoxidised phosphor bronze plated with 24K gold and palladium.

The males end featuring gold plated pins and the female end's connector blades being made from deoxidised phosphor bronze plated with gold.
