TS120 Special Edition Amplifier

Well Thomas what can I say that has not been said before? The TS 120 SE lives up to all the hype and much more. No problem whatsoever driving my 4ohm Monitor Audio G6's. Beautiful Full and Rich sound with wonderful clarity. As the tubes start to break in, you think this could not sound any better, but it does!! It is a work of Audio Art, could not be more pleased with my purchase, Thanks Thomas.

One word about this Amp is Amazing.
I have been listening to several amps before including the Cayin CS55A , Line Magnetic LM508IA and the solid state Acoustic Arts Power 2.
Thomas has nailed and biased this Amp to deliver an incredible listening experience.
I always favoured tube amps over solid state for their true warm analogue sound.
But this Amp takes the best of both worlds.
You have amazing true life soundstage. Deep precise articulate Bass of solid state amps. And mid ranges so warm of El34 tubes and very lifelike like 300B tubes.
My recommendation is to connect this Amp to some very good speakers and it will shine.
Best music to play with this Amp is Classic Rock, Cool Jazz and Blues.
Cheers guys

This amp exceeded my expectation! It has the best of both worlds (solid-state & tube amps). It has holographic sound-stage, clear and beautiful highs, full and beautiful mids and punchy, dynamic base. I purchased this amp for music and movies, so I paired it with Arendal 1723 THX tower speakers. The power rating feels way-underrated … For comparison, I use Classe CA-5300 for my other 5.1 setup (300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 600 wpc into 4 ohms). TS-120’s 30-watt amp plays with so much ease; and could play louder w/o running out of breath… so don’t let the power rating fool you… Best of all, it’s a very musical amp!

I’ve had the TS-120 SE for over a year and a half at time of this writing; and it’s what I listen to more than other systems. At one time I heard faint humming noises from the amp so I contacted Thomas. Thomas was very helpful; and he sent me other tubes for testing. The problem didn’t go away, so he asked me to send the unit back. This was when I realized it wasn’t the amp’s problem, but my drop in voltage when I had another power-sucking electronic turned on at the same time; it was NOT a problem of this amp! For this, I give Galion Audio and Thomas top ratings on support!

I couldn’t be happier with this amp. I have decades of experiences and have heard quite a few different amps. The TS-120 is unique and really excels at producing beautiful music; I enjoyed it immensely!

I'm not going to say a whole lot. I have followed Thomas and his reviews for years. His passion for being an audiophile shows through on his reviews I think. Anyway, I owned a Fisher 400 for many years, which I loved, but this amp is a major step up. Sound is amazing and reaching the holographic surround that we're looking for as audiophile. They make these SourcePoint 8 speakers sound even better. I had looked at other amps, but at this price point, you can't get any better. And I'm very picky!!

Compared to my solid state integrated which originally cost almost the same, the TS120se is a league above. Depth, detail, texture and timbre throughout the frequency range are outstanding along with real dynamics that bring drama to the music. Bass is strong from this valve amp, and ultimately proved to be too much for me in my small listening room. If I had smaller, more room appropriate speakers I think it would be fine, but I love them too much! Thomas has brought the much needed concept of value to the hi-fi business; with the important addition of strong customer service which is usually the trade-off. I'm really looking forward to trying his other amplifiers and finding my 'endgame'.
