Giant Killer Galion TS A75 Power Amp
Why is this called a giant killer? The performance of this amplifier is so good that you will question whether the significantly more expensive amplifier you are currently shopping for is truly better than this one; for those who prefer XLR, the TS A75 comes with both XLR and RCA inputs.
High current design
Sure, it is only 75w, but there is so much power and control with the TS A75 that you might mistake it for a 200w amplifier instead. We designed the TS A75 to deliver quality watts over quantity watts. This amp will grip your bass drivers with authority and control.
Dynamic Bass
With two 200W toroidal transformers and 20 capacitors, giving a total of 200k uf of capacitance bank for both channels, while most affordable amplifiers have about 40k uf, the bass on the TS A75 will make you wonder if you even need to turn on your subwoofer. Not only is the bass impactful and gut-punching, but it is also tight and fast.
Airy Holographic 3D Soundstage
The airy 3D soundstage of the TS A75 is so good that it can even challenge tube-integrated amps. If you have been curious about what audiophiles mean when they talk about this mysterious 'air' in the soundstage, you no longer need to feel left out because the TS A75 has so much air that it can rival expensive amplifiers. Having an airy soundstage is one of the main advantages of the TS A75 current feedback design over the voltage feedback design.
High-Quality Build
The TS A75 custom chassis and big heatsink were designed to keep the unit cool. As a result, the amplifier barely runs warm, which means the capacitors will have a longer lifespan. In addition, we built the amp to have a thick chassis, so you don't have to worry about stacking your preamp on top.
True High Resolution
You might have heard of this audiophile joke, "My system is so resolving that I can hear a pin dropping." Although this is an exaggeration, high-end systems are more detailed than entry-level systems, and you can hear everything effortlessly. The TS A75 will allow you to hear the pin dropping. You will hear things in the recording you have never heard before. The saying, 'A veil has been lifted,' is how you will feel with the TS A75.
Midrange clarity
Besides the sparkling top-end detail, one of the things that will catch your attention right away is the midrange clarity. The saying, 'I can hear the vocal chords of the singer,' is not a dream with this amplifier. Never before have we seen this level of clarity with an affordable amplifier.
Extreme Dynamic Contrast
One thing you will notice right away with the TS A75 is its incredible dynamic contrast. Highs extend further up, the bass hits lower and harder, and the swing from quiet to loud passages seems instantaneous. The TS A75 is an exciting amp to listen to, especially if you are into classical music, where there is significant variation in dynamics.
True Balanced Circuit
The TS A75 features a genuine XLR balanced design. When using a long interconnect cable with the TS A75, opt for XLR connections to experience reduced noise and a darker background.

I have the Criton 1TDX speakers and felt they sounded great but what a surprise when I powered them with the Galion Amp. Wow! An amazing increase in clarity, soundstage and very detailed rich bass. My speakers required higher volume levels to wake them up to really sound great and the Galion changed that! Now at even lower volume levels my Criton 1TDX speakers sound great as well.
I’ve had several amps either way more power than the Galion but feel like I for the first time truly have a proper Audiophile amp. I didn’t know what I was missing before and am so happy.
I’d like to extend my appreciation to Thomas on this purchase.
Had issues in shipping due to California fires, he graciously compensated me, and kept me up to date with delivery information.
I’ve had the amp for four weeks. I’ve owned 4 other amps and this is by far the greatest amp I have purchased.
All of the information I received from Thomas’s video definitely lives up to this video.
I have now had the TS A75 power amp for 2 months, so I am now ready to share my experience.I have the A75 paired with: an Advance Paris X-P700 preamp as well a Pontus II DAC, Jay's Audio CDT 2 Mk III, & Project turntable. I found all the promises Thomas made about the A75 have been delivered. My old system was powered by a Yamaha integrated AV amp, with which I had been quite happy with. Adding the A75, Thomas' promises (& echoed by other reviews) of air, resolution, great base, and a sense of a veil being removed describe my experiences with the Amp. I have a few audiophile friends who have been notably impressed with the sound my system puts out now. Without reservation, I have been recommending the A75 for friends and family who are considering an upgrade.
Thomas,
After 5 days with TS A75, I want you to know it was my best investment in my system. If you weren't that far, I would gladely offer you as much of coffee you need! It works really nice with Triangle Antal 40th. As you said, it's going to the lively side but there's a smooth synergy happening with my current DAC, Taga harmony DA 400 through preamp Marantz Model 50(6,5v preout).
Everything sounds more open. The basses are so deep, precised, defined. I have the impression my system was bloated or I was a bit deaf and everything seems clearer. Also best improvement for me is the impression all drums, trumpets, and specially the vocals, are now real. I can hear them as if the sound was unsticking from the speakers, where before it sounded linear, and boring I have to say.
Don't get me wrong, now I really appreciate the Marantz as a preamp and this DAC Taga is doing a great job that I am finally appreciating well. -next step would be the Pontus 15th but this can wait.
I did some tests, by connecting:
Eversolo > Taga > Topping L30 ii > TS A75
Eversolo > Marantz > TS A75
Eversolo > TS A75
Best results in everything *by far* was:
Eversolo > Taga > Marantz > TS A75
Interesting as well, yesterday evening when reconnecting my system, enjoyed a last time my favorites Brothers in arms and Sirius albums. was so happy! But surprise... Forgot to powered on the subwoofer (connected to the Marantz). Couldn't believe it. I'll continue to compare to be sure, but seems I don't need a sub anymore to enjoy.
Amazing Thomas. I'll get more attention to your reviews and creations for sure.
Thank you for your great work!

My journey to the Galion TS A75 began with a video by Jay Iyagi. He claimed that the TS A75 would blow away the McIntosh MC-275 VI. Went on to read more reviews and everyone just seemed to be extremely impressed by the TS A75. Had to try it. Wow, the hype is real and justified. I have the TS A75 hooked up to a McIntosh C-2700, a ROSE HIFI r150b and a pair of vintage Yamaha NS-1000x. Just a beautiful sounding, musical amp and for $1,500....Wow! I would highly recommended getting one quick before Thomas realizes he could get double that for this amp and it would still be a bargain. My only area of concern is that it does have a sweet spot with volumes. If I turned it pretty loud, it began to get a bit bright but that could also be the speakers. Has plenty of power...Amazing Sound Stage, Detailed and engaging. I listen to Soft Rock and Instrumental. Again, Highly recommended. In my opinion, greatest value in the audio market. Great job Thomas!
