I have 30 hours on this piece and have not noticed much change in the sonic presentation after about 10 hours. The initial break in smoothed out leading edge emphasis that was not a dealbreaker. I use a Weiss 501 streaming dac as my source and preamplifier connected via XLR cables.

This is my first venture into solid state amplification after listening to tubes for several decades. I was shocked that the Galion amplifier presentation had some tube like characteristics, including a very spacious soundstage and a tube-like mid range, where the music lives. Some YouTube reviewers have said that the bass and treble are slightly boosted and the mid range is recessed somewhat although I never heard that. The entire sonic presentation seems very well balanced.

As a caveat, Thomas Tan, the owner, told me that the amp needs a source pushing 2.1 volts. Fortunately my dac has more than enough juice to feed the amplifier. I would communicate with Thomas if you are unsure.

To wrap this mini review up, I enthusiastically recommend this amplifier. I bought this as a back up or second amp and also to provide my system with a different flavor. I was surprised that the amplifier gave me more of some things my tube amp did not such as more solid and defined bass and a very black background.

The Galion TS34 amplifier is nothing short of phenomenal. The sound quality is top-notch, delivering rich, clear audio that brings every song to life. For the first four months, it worked flawlessly, and I was thoroughly impressed.

However, the amplifier went into auto shutoff mode recently and I reached out to Thomas via email. His response was pretty much immediate. He shipped out new tubes without hesitation to help troubleshoot the unit, but when that didn’t resolve the issue, he sent out a brand-new unit to get me back up and running as quickly as possible.

The return process was seamless too—Thomas arranged a UPS pickup from my home, saving me the hassle of hauling the unit to a drop-off location. It was one of the easiest and most supportive customer service experiences I've had. Highly recommend both the Galion TS34 and the incredible support that comes with it!

My system :
Late Glen Croft's stuff - the R7 monoblack, and Pre RS25 (with a separate supplier).
speakers - Harbeth SHL5plus XD
Digital source - Lumin T3.
Analog source - Origan Live Sovereign turntable + Conqueror Tonearm.
Cartridge - DS-W3 (optical cartridge + the phono).
RCA cables- Zenzati Autentica.
Power Cable - Shunyata ALPHA-X + GEMINI Model-8
Speaker cables, over the years I have also had cables from relatively cheap up to cables that cost 35 times and more than the- C100 cables.

After running the C100 for two months , I can say for sure that the C100 is going to stay in my set for a long time to come!
The bass, is magnificent. the mid and high sound great.
At first, after a few hours of running, it felt like some kind of curtain was lifted and everything became cleaner and more detailed.
The cable I had before- which costs about more than 20 times- is on sale now.
A small note, I would be happy to have an option of connecting with spades - especially on the speaker's side.
Mr. Thomas, I don't know how you did it, but- you did it!
Those cables are definitely an exciting surprise, and Unbelievable VFM!

Honestly, I bought these Voyager MK2 SE speakers just to see what Thomas has been banging about. Holographic Sound? Silky smooth midrange? I thought I had both on my system already. But boy, these speakers took it up 2 notches. Live recordings sound really live and even studio recordings occasionally would give me goosebumps. Amazing speakers, and they are now my favorites of my speaker collection.

As mentioned by other reviewers you would probably need a subwoofer to make them shine, and plenty of power. I have a modest setup in an untreated room and they still sing like no other speaker I have.

My setup: Eversolo DMP A6 streamer, Denafrips Ares 15th DAC, and Fosi audio ZA3 dual mono with upgraded op amps.

I’ve been on a pursuit of sound excellence for the last two years and I’ve auditioned at least 10 sets of bookshelf speakers ranging in price from 500 to 2500. Some came highly recommended and my Buchardt MK 2’s being my reference at 2500. Fantastic speakers but I still wanted something that was a touch more refined on the high end. I kept 3-4 sets for various reasons which include the KEF LS50 Meta, Elac Unifi reference, and a set of Starke Sound betas. All excellent speakers but I was still looking for that sweet spot for my ears in a less than 3k range. I saw a couple of reviews on the SE’s and knew they were limited in quantity and pulled the trigger based on those reviews. Luckily I got in and received my pair. Upon opening the rather small box I was kind of dumbfounded. Size reminded me of a small set of Wharfdale’s I reviewed and kept ( crazy good for the price) and proceeded to unbox them. Size was smaller than I expected but set them up, and gave them a spin. Holy crap was I surprised. Immediately noticed the detail and bass extension for such a small speaker. Wow, was all I could think. Kept playing them for hours and have yet to use anything else since, 3 months later. Only have gotten better since then. Crystal highs, non fatiguing, tight bass, fantastic imaging and precise instrument placement. I still can’t believe how good these speakers are. Thomas knows something about sound based on these and I will look into his highly rated hardware going forward. Just wow.

Thomas, thanks so much for the great design and implementation on these speakers. I received them yesterday and have connected them to a PASS/Ayre/Denafrips combo, and I've tried them with a Musical Fidelity A1 integrated. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft yet detailed the tweeter sounds (compared to my KLH 5, Tekton Lore, and Klipsch Heresy). I was concerned that they could possibly be too bright, but not at all. The setup process is challenging so far, but I can tell it will be perfect soon. The first impression I had was the depth of soundstage, which is very impressive. I have them well out into the room at about 6ft from the wall. I am also noticing wonderful midrange details (especially lower midrange) that I've never heard in music I'm very familiar with.
I'm looking forward to playing with positioning in my small-medium sized room.

PS - They mate well with a KEF Kube 12" sub using the speaker level connection from the amp.

Earlier this year my system included a Pi2AES hat streamer, Denafrips Ares II dac, NAD C375BEE integrated amp, Rythmik F12SE subwoofer, Def tech BP20 towers with the crossover capacitors upgraded and tweeters swapped for beryllium ScanSpeaks. I was curious about an upgrade and thought the preamp and power amp sections were the place to start. I wanted to preserve or enhance the following aspects of my system: airy top end with a liquid and organic presentation, good enough imaging and soundstage, especially when speaker positioning is dialed in, well integrated bass down to 20 Hz. The last few months I've auditioned a used [well respected tube preamp] and the TS A75 power amp.

I can say the following about the power amp: the timbre is fantastic and highly musical, the upper region is more airy and refined than what it is replacing while the mids and bass are wonderfully authoritative, it handles delicate passages adjacent to or intermixed with more eruptive moments better than anything I've heard. For each of my priority areas going into a new power amp this one exceeds them all, the proof being how often it's on and I'm listening and enjoying the music. I am very very happy with this amp.

For now, I am performing volume control on my phone upstream of my streamer and DAC, so the audio files are not transmitted bit-perfect. I am also connecting my Ares II directly to the A75 and can say the sound here is better than using either the preamp on my NAD integrated or the used tube preamp (not a Schiit Freya!... came with highly praised OS CIFTE 12AU7 preamp tubes and Philips 5R4YG rectifier tubes i will be taking it to a technician to check linear response and tube health, and the product is well known and well reviewed but I have not been able to get it to play nice with my system). I just heat shrunk two Gotham GAC-1 Ultrablue RCAs to use as line level connections to my sub, and am defaulting back to using a high level connection, but either way it integrates so well I'm not in a rush to get separate preamp outs. Hope this helps someone!

I am very bad at judging amplifiers because i cant put words on what i hear,if i like them i like them if not i dont.

This one i like,it´s one of the best solid state i have heard,and i have heard a lot.

Most so called high end amps are for me only high en to the name or as Mark Levingson once said 90% of high end is bullshit!!

It will not reach the sound of my Prima Luna HP same as PL400 that cost 6000$ in sweden.

But it comes very close but with a leaner sound,the prima luna have more guts but they both sound terrific.

This is a keeper ,period.

I dont know how much it differs from other chinese clone amps of Darzeel,Goldmund or Burmester,i have not heard them so...

I asked Thomas if he's making a profit with the c-100 speaker cable, packaging, finishing is very professional and cable performance is stellar, I believe he's here for the love of sound, not for the money.

Have had the C-100 for about 3 weeks now and with in comparison against me SKW ($229) @8ft Speaker Cables I do prefer the Galion Cable the🍌 Cable ends are a nice touch and hold tightly into place ' owned many cables and for price I am 💯 percent happy with C-100 ' for price point I have Audioquest WBC Morrow blue jeans speaker cables and I still prefer Galion the stallion

I previously powered my Ascend Acoustics ELX towers with a Linear Tube Audio (LTA) Z10 integrated amp. While the Z10 paired beautifully with the RAAL ribbon tweeters for mid-bass to highs, I felt the low-end lacked the control and presence I desired, especially on amplified electric bass in fusion jazz and R&B. The Z10 excels with acoustic jazz, but for my broader musical tastes, including acts like Spyro Gyra, and Fourplay, I needed more low-end punch.

After auditioning the Heaven11 Billie and Vincent SV-500 hybrid amps, neither offered enough improvement to replace the Z10. Around the same, I discovered the Galion TS A75 amplifier. My interest was sparked by a review from Terry London. So I contacted company owner Thomas Tan and got a Galion A75 in for a 15-day audition.

Initially, running it direct from my Oppo 105 sounded good, but once I introduced my Audio Horizons 6DJ8 tube buffer, the A75 truly came to life. Its midrange performance was stellar, and the bass became tight, punchy, and controlled. Despite concerns from other reviewers about a "V-shaped" sound profile, the tube buffer seemed to resolve that, delivering a balanced and engaging sound.

In terms of price-to-performance, the A75 competes with far pricier amps. Its ability to render clear, distinct instrument placement and deliver satisfying bass makes it a standout. Having also owned and/or auditioned a few other amps like Channel Islands, Outlaw Audio, STA 200, Bel Canto, and Class D Gan 5, I can confidently say the A75 punches well above its weight, earning its place in my system. It’s a keeper, and for now, my "upgrade-itis" has been cured.

I really love the A20! I'm not sure I have even broken it in yet with only about 20-30 hours of playing, but the sound is fantastic. I have it paired with a NAD M66 preamp and either some vintage Boston Acoustic Lynnfield VR975 speakers or a new set of Zu Union 6 Supremes. The BA speakers are 91 dB through 8 ohms and the Zus are 99 dB at 8 ohms, so both are well suited for the 20 watts on tap from the A20. I was concerned that the somewhat analytical M66 would be a bit too lean for the A20, but it sounds glorious. I especially love the soundstage and instrument separation that the A20 brings to the other components. I like the treble, midrange and bass control on tap. This setup really rivals the TS 120 SE in class A!

For years, I have been using the Nirvana speaker cable from a company that unfortunately died in an East Coast hurricane. I kept it anyway, as I could clearly hear the difference in the weight and speed of music played through it compared to all other cables. Even at that time, the Nirvana was an expensive cable, but so worth it. After many years, the Nirvana met with its own demise, so I tried a pair of Galion C100 speaker cables. Certainly, the price point couldn't compete with the Nirvana. Certainly, the Galion wouldn't exhibit the same weight, speed, and clarity as the Nirvana. Fortunately, I was wrong; the Galion was every bit, if not even more, worthy, and I am again a satisfied audiophile, having found my reference set of speaker cables. Thank you, Thomas. Oh, I almost forgot, the packaging is first class. I'm keeping that also.
