You can throw all the hifi superlatives at the Galion TS-A75 and they will stick.
Stunning amp for the money and replaced a Rogue Audio Stereo 100 that gave up the ghost.
All the reviews are true. That tube like sound, amazing bass and I do mean amazing. Beats the Rogue for bass and my not too shabby class D amp.
The Galion is paired with a Moon 390 pre-amp and currently Focal Aria 926 K2 which it has absolutely no problem driving - did I mention that bass? Present, thick (but not too thick) and textured.
I have my tube phono pre connected directly into the amp and my pre via XLR for everything else. Doesn't matter what my source is TT, Streaming transport, CD player or transports. I can't choose between them where previously I had a clear preference.
Huge holography in my system, imaging, soundstage and depth too. Honestly my system has never sounded so good. It's not just a small change either. I'm waiting on delivery of a Fezz Audio Sagita Prestige balanced tube pre-amp and I just cannot wait to hear that combination.
However despite all the superlatives the most critical thing is that it's musical and at that it is insanely musical without sacrificing transparency or detail. In fact I hear more now because the soundstage has more depth. There's more space around vocals and instruments front to back and side to side.
I'm a little gobsmacked. Everything Thomas says this amp brings to the party - it does.
Thank you Thomas - it's truly a beautiful sounding amp.
