Title: There are worse reasons to aspire to owning a house
Rating: 5 stars
Author: Matt V

Got my A75 today, hooked it up almost before the door closed behind the shocked UPS driver ("nah, this ain't heavy") and that was the end of my day, about 6 hours ago. It has plenty of what I think of as Galion's/Thomas' house sound. Clean without flatness, detailed without unnatural edges, wide open and natural... basically I don't understand how it can hit this price point for what it does. Your hardware doesn't exist, your speakers don't exist, there are only you and the music.

I listed all the pros, here are some cons if you force me to make something up with a knife to my throat. It runs cool, so it can't be used for winter heating like a class A amp. It's powerful, you need to be careful to zero your preamp stage before you start up. It's heavy, remember to grip by the front/back if you don't want to slice your hands to ribbons. It's very clean and transparent, so if you use this to play Youtube videos using your laptop's onboard sound card, you will get exactly what you invited (mediocre results).

(If you haven't guessed, they're not really cons - pair this amp with other equally min-maxed gear and you will be richly rewarded.)

Competing amps in my collection that are feeling the heat right now:
- Hafler XL280
- Schiit Tyr monoblocks
- First Watt J2
- Galion TS120 SE

I got my amp early Thursday afternoon but did not open the box until almost 6pm tonight Friday. I have a Schitt Freya + along with a pair of Quicksilver Mid-Mono Amps (40w per chnl) driving a modified in 2015 by Philharmonic Audio/Dennis Murphy Pioneer BR22sp lr speakers (aka 'Affordable Accuracy Speakers') and did *not* re-hook up my pair of REL t5/x subs.

Played my first lp, a reissue of The Best of ELO and then a reissue of Santana's Abraxas albums... I was shocked at the bass it put out to my modified Pioneers --- like wow, sounded better in the 2 hours of listening than my already 7 year old Quicksilver mono amps with all nos tubes !

Resolution, clarity and dynamics!

I am not returning the amp - a keeper ! It's just going to get better as it breaks in !

Title: Eagerly anticipated A75 arrived and is exceeding expectations

My new A75 arrived after a very short wait with excellent communications and follow-up from Mr. TS himself. Excellent Customer Service! The A75 sounds great out the box, and doesn't need a lot of burn-in time. I tried a few different pre-amplifiers. I prefer the hybrid tube/solid state pre-amp as it creates the nicer 3D holographic soundstage, but doesn't get too muddy/messy/noisy. My early observations are:
- great looking industrial design without any superfluous frills, and nothing you don't need
- hefty metal chassis, quality materials, built like a tank! Can probably last for centuries!
- no hiss, hum, buzz or any other unwanted noises, dead silent, even with extremely sensitive (>103dB) speakers
- beautiful black background, dark space and separation between singers and instruments
- much(!) more power than expected, sounds way bigger than its 75W rating, plenty of headroom (with 8 Ohm speakers)
- bass is plentiful, powerful and well controlled, definitely a big highlight. I don't feel the need to switch on my sub.
- deep and wide 3D soundstage especially with tube or hybrid pre-amp
- sounds (very) smooth in top-end. Highs/Treble were soft (muted) when combined with my solid-state pre-amp and low-sensitivity speakers. However with a tube/hybrid-pre-amp and my high-sensitivity full-range speakers I get all the clarity and detail I want, without the need for Treble/EQ control. I recommend experimenting to find those system synergies that will satisfy your personal taste.

Hi Thomas,
I've been the proud owner of a TS A75 for about 4 weeks now.
After the first few bars of music, I already had a big grin on my face.
The musical performance makes the speakers disappear. The music seems very realistic and close enough to touch.
The many positive characteristics of the TS 75A create the often mentioned emotions when listening to music. That is my definition of high-end.
I don't know of any other device in this price range that even comes close to this one in terms of sound.
This power amplifier has raised my setup to a significantly higher level.
I can't wait to see what Galion comes up with next.

Highend regards from Germany

I got a very good deal on a new Vincent SA-32 hybrid tube amplifier through Audio Advisor. I only paid $981.43 including shipping and taxes so I could not resist. It said "Demo" on their website but when the Vinvent arrived it was brand new. I paired it immediately with my TS A75 power amplifier and OMG. I'm feeding it with my firmware updated Denafrips Ares 2 DAC, and the sound is AMAZING. I'm using Mogami Gold XLR cables for all my interconnects. These Mogami Gold XLR cables never disappoint. The combination gives incredible dynamics, clarity, detail, soundstage, air and bass punch too. And it’s quiet as a mouse with a beautiful black background.
The A75 combination with the Vincent SA-32 is easily much, much better than with my Schiit Freya+, even when using $400+ NOS tubes on the Freya+. The Freya+ is slow and very noisy (buzz, hum) compared to the Vincent. Even with the Vincent on low gain, it is a much more powerful combination than with the Freya+. With the Vincent in the chain it feels that my A75 has 2-3x more power reserve. I now finally feel that I have a pre-amp and amp combination that can drive my KEF R3 speakers with authority. Believe it or not, but with other pre-amp/amp combos I actually used super-tweeters and a subwoofer with the R3's. Not anymore. This is pure, powerful sound, with clarity and detail.

First of all I would like to thank Thomas for letting me tried one of his demo amp! My current setup is a Nad M10V2 with the buchardt S400MKII speakers! I hooked up the Nad to the Ts-A75 and wooooohaaaa I immediately heard the difference, soundstage is wider and higher, bass are round and punchy, mids are mellow and textured especially the voices, the highs are detailed and not aggressive! The sound has an holographic effect, instruments are well defined and separated, I was impressed and I bought one!! At 1495$ it’s a steal!! This amp is the way to go for experienced audiophile as well as somebody who wants to start building a great sound system!! Congratulations Thomas. This amp is 100% approved! 👍👍

Received the amp today and immediately set it up.

Already the sound is so airy ( now I know what that means), the clarity is so good.

It looks so purposeful in my system.

What a great investment this is, thank you.

After a month of waiting and a full week of listening, I am happy to report that the TS A75 is performing exceptionally well in my system.
The soundstage was remarkably better than my previously-loved Hegel H80, and the bass response was comparatively off the charts. I have (literally) taken my subwoofer out of the chain, as it has been rendered entirely redundant by the A75. I never thought my speakers were so capable!
Should anyone be curious, the pairing of the TS A75 with my Denafrips Hades Preamp has proven to be ideal, clarity and definition behind my all-digital front end have notably been taken to another level.
Thanks again, Thomas. I look forward to taking your new preamp for a drive once it's ready! Until then, I wish you and Galion all the success going forward!

I had used the CX81 and a Schiit Vidar which was eventually augmented with a second Vidar running as monoblocs. The monobloc set up is what I've been using for some time to drive a pair of KEF LS50 Metas and Buchardt S400s (first gen). I'm playing Tidal via a CXN V2 and a Mini DSP serves as a pre-amp (no room correction)

Prior to receiving the TS A75, the S400s were confined to the corner as I preferred the detail the LS50s provided. I would break out S400s for gatherings where pop music was the dominate genre, but for any critical listening it was the KEFs. I didn't like the S400s for this because I felt the bass was a little too loose and the details of the highs were a bit lost. Enter the TS A75, woah. The Buchardt have just come alive. Details are back, base is much more controlled (not perfect), and the soundstage has opened up considerably. The KEFs sound a little weak now, and most of the advantages they had are now gone for me because of how well the TS A75 "up levels" the S400s.

The amp is resolving enough to bring out the best of your equipment. The other products would drive both sets just fine, but this just takes things to another level. Further, I hope it means that it can support upgrades at a notch or two better than where I am now. I'm pretty confident. Works well with all genres, just insert all the review buzzwords; space, detail, separation, staging.

Oh... this plays louder than the two Vidars which is, umm, interesting. Happy Camper!

The amp sounds just great, I love it.
The amp sounds just great, I love it. I have a relatively budget system and I listen it in a really small room, so I don't use even the half of its power. But even at a low listening levels, it makes his magic onto my bookshelf speakers (Focal Aria 906 K2). I'd never expected from them such a deep bass. I was curious how the trebles will sounds on these speakers, but now I can say that they are simply amazing for me - just the right amount of details and brightness, no harshness or fartigue whatsoever. The sound stage is really airy and 3D. Actually this amp perfoms exactly as it's described on the webpage and presented by Thomas on YouTube, so I must say "thank you Thomas"! Looking forward for you preamp and other great products from your company!

I received the TS A75 on May 9 and had it set up and running on May 10, with my then current speakers (GR-Research X-Bravos which are very good, but small speakers). I was (and still am) using an Eversolo DMP-A6 (with upgraded power supply) for the preamp/source. The TS A75 sounded great, rich and full, yet still natural. I don't think the X-Bravos were letting the amp shine to it's potential though. Yesterday, May 29, I upgraded the speakers a pair of Starke Audio Beta 7's, and wow did those reveal the beauty of the TS-A75's sound stage, bass and overall quality. I absolutely love it. I plan on upgrading to a tube pre-amp in the near future and I expect even greater things from this amp. The thing looks great too, and the build quality is exceptional. I don't think you can beat the value that is offered with the TS A75. Very, very well done Thomas!!!

Thomas's YouTube video on the TS A75 got me thinking about adding a solid-state amp to my setup to bring out the full low-end potential of my speakers but I was concerned that I would miss the sweet mids and smooth highs provided by my integrated tube amp. For that reason, I decided to use a tube preamp. The pairing between Freya+ and TS A75 worked pretty darn well. During multiple extended listening sessions, I had no desire to go back to my integrated tube amp setup. The crazy thing is I haven't even got to tube-rolling the Freya+ yet. I do have a set of NOS 6SN7 coming soon to take this up a notch or two. Thank you, Thomas!

I've had the TS A75 for nearly two weeks . In the past, this has pretty much been the time frame I've given myself to determine if a component is a keeper. I have to say that I felt the A75 was a keeper from day one. But in this fickle hobby, I've had components start out very promising. The problem is I initially interpret different as better. Maybe we all do, but then one realizes different is just that and has nothing to do with being better. It takes a few more days until I come to the conclusion that the new component simply isn't as good as the component it was about to replace. When I listened to the A75 for the first time, it was difficult for me to hear any traits that screamed solid state. After an hour or so, I sent a text to a friend telling him if I were blindfolded, there's a high probability I'd think I was listening to a tube amp. (a decent one in fact) Then I told my friend that while the A75 doesn't exactly kick my tube amps to the curb, it easily "runs in the same herd". What are the similarities to my tube amplifiers? Open, airy soundstage...Dynamic swings and complexities "sorted" nicely without confusion and strain....Bass strong and well defined probably bettering most tube amps including mine....... And finally, the ability to put the "performer(s) in the room." This of course depends on the quality of the recording, but the A75 equals my tube amps in this regard. As far as program material used in the evaluation, I didn't give the A75 a break in any way. No girl/guitar or acoustic jazz trios. I pulled out several of the more challenging CD's in my collection. Now to quickly summarize. (at last) I think one would be hard pressed to find an amplifier as capable and refined as the A75 anywhere near this price point. Components used to Cambridge CXC/Denafrips Ares/ Schiit Freya + ( ANOS 6SN7's)/ Galion TS A75/ Klipsch Heresy 3's/HSU VTF-1 MK.II subwoofers. Preferred speaker cable, CRL Bronze.

This amp is essentially how Thomas describes it. Highs have air and sparkle without sounding unnaturally harsh or hard. Bass is deep, textured and nuanced. Mids are not too forward which mirrors my sonic preference. With respect to the reviews on YouTube, my feelings most closely parallel that of hifi cave. Great job, Thomas!

Jerry Tomb, left the following 5 star review for the product Galion TS A75 Power Amp:

I’ve been an audio junkie since 1963 when my dad bought a Fisher Integrated amp, Fisher Tuner, a Rek-O-Kut turntable and full range JBL 15” speakers. I was 11. I had my first system when I turned 16, snd have been constantly churning through gear since then. I recently decided to do a fairly comprehensive upgrade. This included moving from a fairly new Class A/B receiver to a pre-amp/amp combo, and a new turntable. As of today, everything is up and running. I can’t stop smiling! I spun a Booker T and the MG’s album on the Technics SL 1210 GR going through an iFi zen phono stage through XLR to an ARC pre-amp to the Galion TS A 75 to Zu Audio DWX speakers. And I have to confess , I don’t have the speaker placement optimized. Seriously, for the first out of my system, I experienced a soundstage that was wider than my speakers, deeper than before and real instrument, singer placement. I am amazed. Thank you Thomas! The Galion TS A75 may be the best amplifier in this price range ever. Nice job!

My first impressions of the Galion TS A75 power amp are nothing short of spectacular. The soundstage is impressively expansive and elevated, providing a sense of immersion that I haven't experienced with other amps. The bass is more powerful and deeply textured, adding a new dimension to my music. The highs are airy and natural, and the overall sound is rich and full. The build quality is solid, and the design is sleek and elegant. Thomas was right with his statements about the TS A75. I'm very pleased with this purchase and look forward to how it will perform after a thorough burn-in period. I'll provide another update in a few weeks.

Michael Vegvari, left the following 5 star review for the product Galion TS A75 Power Amp:

I purchased both the TS A75 amp and the Voyager TL speakers as a secondary setup to contrast my HT setup that has sub-par musical fidelity (because it was focused on cinema sound). The Galion speakers and amp are totally different in a great way to that setup. These products are build really well, musical, and smooth with a nice fun character that is pleasing to my ears. They are true winners at a very reasonable price to performance ratio. They work great independently and even better together. This purchase has been a real positive experience thanks to Thomas and the products he is bringing to market.

First and foremost I would like to congratulate Thomas and Stereo & Company for an amplifier produced, engineered and designed for the masses who are fortunate to enjoy Value topping, high quality audiophile grade, high fidelity component. The Galion TS A75 speaks volumes of price value, design and performance. Upon receiving the Galion TS A75 Amplifier, “Giant Killer” on June 10th, I was somewhat reluctant to semi retire my McIntosh MC 2205 Amplifier to a smaller room currently at 14 x 24 pushing a pair of old school Klipsch La Scalas switching at times with a pair of Altec Lancing Model 19. I wholeheartedly concur with most of the testimonials mentioned about TS A75 and most importantly the candidness of Mr Thomas himself. Running Tidal/Roon as my music organizer, I chose to direct connect PS Audio DSD DAC to Galion amp just as I’ve done with the Mac previously. The superb build quality of the TS A75 75 watt amplifier is evident when it recreated a sound stage much larger than MC2205 at 200 watts per channel. Typically horn speakers tend to sound bright especially a high volumes and at times fatiguing when playing certain music genres. TS A75 softens the brightness Tres Bien. Much to my surprise the bass had plenty of deep oomph and richness. I enjoy pushing this amp quite hard yet I find no distortion or flaw at all. Just Pure Musical BLISS! …To the Thomas and Stereo Team "Fair Winds and Following Seas" on your audio voyages. Warm regards, George.

I received the TS A75 this week and out of the box it sounded bright on the high end. After some tweaking and changing speaker cables and re-positioning my speakers I turned my system back on with the TS A75 and boom!..Magic happened. The sound become more detailed, that holographic sound came through and the soundstage was awesome. The bass is tight and powerful, it just all snapped into place. I can only imagine what this amp will sound like after 100 hours of use....more magic will happen! In closing I will say Thomas is one of the most helpful and customer focused person in this industry. Highly recommended!

Before I write a few words about the A75, I would like to thank and commend Thomas for his approach to customer service, even when the customer can sometimes be quite demanding. This level of service is rare in today's times. First, a few notes about the listening environment. This review is based on two weeks (about 140 hours) of experience with the A75. My living room is approximately 30 m² and is acoustically treated, including the ceiling. The setup I use for listening includes high-efficiency speakers from the Polish brand Sisound Fortis S (with a sensitivity of 102dB), an Eversolo DMP-A8 streamer as the source, and an excellent Cen-Grand DSDAC 1.0 Deluxe as the preamplifier and DAC. The centers of the speakers are spaced 3 meters apart, and I sit 3.8 meters away from them. I usually listen at moderate volumes, around 65 dB. For a better idea of the music I listen to, here is a Tidal Playlist. The Galion TS A75 amplifier immediately impresses with its exceptional sound and precision. Based on my experience so far, I can say that this device can satisfy even the most demanding audiophiles seeking pure and authentic sound. After the listening sessions, I can say that the TS A75 stands out for its incredible accuracy in sound reproduction. Every detail is clearly audible, allowing you to notice nuances that might have previously gone unnoticed. This precision allows for rediscovery of favorite tracks. One of the greatest strengths of this amplifier is the bass, which is not only deep but also highly differentiated. There is no one-dimensional, boomy sound; instead, every rumble or beat is clearly outlined and well-separated from the rest of the spectrum, giving a sense of naturalness and space. In the current system, I can clearly hear the articulation of vocalists and the acoustics of the recording venues. The Galion TS A75 offers excellent stereophony, allowing for easy localization of instruments and performers on the stage, which is not limited in width by the placement of the speakers. The ability to precisely determine the source of the sound enhances the listening experience, making it even more intense and realistic. Another positive aspect is that I have not experienced any power deficiencies at any point. The Galion TS A75 handles even higher loads with ease, delivering full, dynamic sound regardless of volume settings. This device not only sounds very good but also provides the assurance that it won't run out of power in critical moments. The Galion TS A75 is an amplifier that meets expectations in every aspect. Excellent precision, deep and differentiated bass, outstanding stereophony, and no power deficiencies make this a device worth recommending to any lover of good sound. It is an investment that will surely bring a lot of satisfaction and unforgettable musical experiences. From my perspective, combined with the Eversolo A8 and my speakers, the A75 gives me more joy than other amplifiers I've tried, including brands like Luxman, Gato Audio, Lyngdorf, Devialet, Hegel, NAD, and Rotel Michi, though not with the same speakers I currently own. By the way, I would like to answer the question of whether I see any drawbacks to this amplifier. In terms of sound offered at its price - no, but two other aspects do come to aesthetically, the "TS A75" label, if it can't be engraved, should be much more discreet - it should be about three times smaller. In terms of functionality, I miss a trigger input for synchronization with the preamplifier. A question may Is this amplifier good for everyone (or rather for any speakers)? In my opinion, it may not pair well with hyper-realistic speakers, with Bowers & Wilkins being the first brand that comes to mind. Of course, this is not definitive, but I would definitely be cautious with such a combination. On the other hand, brands offering a more subdued sound, like Dynaudio, seem like ideal partners. I had the opportunity to listen to the A75 with Dynaudio Confidence 20 for several hours, and I can say if you're considering these speakers or an amplifier for them, I highly recommend pairing them with the A75. I also believe that higher-end speakers from brands like Elac or Monitor Audio should be good partners for the A75. In conclusion, knowing that the A75 is the lowest-positioned amplifier in the Galion lineup, I assume that especially with tube amplifiers, even more can be achieved in terms of sound quality. Seeing that Thomas's promises about the A75 are absolutely not exaggerated, I am seriously considering purchasing one of the tube amplifiers. After consulting with Thomas, who I know will advise me well, I will likely decide on one of them.

Jimmy Agudo, left the following 5 star review for the product Galion TS A75 Power Amp:

Upon receiving the unit I immediately hooked it up to my system, it was dead quiet background, outstanding image focus and dimensionality, and a highly resolved mid-range. One of the best amplifiers I've ever heard with regard to focusing musicians in space convincingly. I paired it with Eversolo DMP A8 as a streamer, DAC and preamp in 1 and this amplifier is driving a pair of Kef R11, all has a pure and liquid sound. Can’t wait for this company to release a tube preamp to match the poweramp. All I can say is purrrfect!

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 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...

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 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 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!

Initially at low volume i did not experience a lot of difference in tonal quality between my old amp and the TS A75. However, realizing that my Vandersteen speakers are only moderately efficient, i went directly to mid volume and everything changed. The tonal quality improved and clarity became more apparent. More importantly, as the power increased to mid level the separation of discrete instruments in the music became noticeable to pronounced. As happens with upgrades in equipment new sounds unveiled themselves. The one characteristic that i am most happy with occurred above mid level power, THE MUSIC STAYED COHESIVE AND ENJOYABLE AT ROOM FILLING VOLUME!!. Even though the TS A75 is rated at 75W, and my speakers at 30-200W, the amp drove the speakers to enjoyably loud levels without noticeable distortion. My previous amp became unlistenable above 50% volume. McIntosh C47 Vandersteen 2Ci

Larry Kennedy, left the following 5 star review for the product Galion TS A75 Power Amp:

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.

I love the sound of it. It is sort of the modern day version of my Sansui 317. Mine have been recapped and we thoroughly replaced anything that looked or measured out of spec, and now it shines. But yours is better. I've paired it with the new Schiit Kara F preamp, without their wireless option and the clarity is through the roof. My Vincent pre and hybrid amp will remain married, but the A75 also paired well with the Vincent SA-32. This gives me the best of two worlds, solid state (yours) and hybrid tube (Vincent). Adding so much life to my Encore XLS and Arendal 1723 Monitor S. So musical. Vintage vibes.

I’ve been running a full tube system for the past 5 years but recently my st70 developed some issues. I was hesitant to switch to a solid state amp but after reading reviews and taking the TSA75 for a test drive my worries were put to rest almost instantly. At this price point the sound stage and the separation is truly remarkable. The amplifier is dead quiet and has no problems with quiet listening while keeping full sound and has more than enough headroom when I push it. The TSA75 is a true audiophile amplifier that has brought classic design into the new world.
