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 playlist: 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 mind: 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 arise: 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 this: 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.
