Galion TS P75 Tube Pre-Amplifier

When we set out to design an affordable amplifier for Galion last year, our mission was clear: to create something so extraordinary it would leave the world in awe. And then, the TS A75 burst onto the scene—surprising everyone, racking up awards, and quickly establishing itself as a true giant killer in the HiFi world.
But here’s the catch: to truly unleash the TS A75’s full potential, it needs a top-notch preamp. After months of rigorous testing, we found that the TS A75 truly shines when paired with preamps priced above $4,000. That got us thinking—could we build an affordable preamp that could keep up with the TS A75?
So, Galion teamed up once again with Doge Audio to craft a preamp that will impress just as much as the TS A75 did. Our goal? To once again wow the HIFI world—without breaking the bank.

Holographic Sound Stage

One of the defining differences between entry-level HiFi gear and true high-end performance is the ability to deliver a holographic, three-dimensional soundstage. To capture that elusive, airy, and immersive sound at a price that won’t empty your wallet, we knew we had to bring tubes into the mix.
We engineered the TS P75 to create this expansive, layered soundstage when paired with most amplifiers. For many listeners, the TS P75 will be their first taste of a true multi-layered soundstage, a feature that’s typically the exclusive domain of much pricier preamps.
Now, here’s something to consider: if you pair the TS A75 with a run-of-the-mill preamp, you’ll find the soundstage shrinks—like watching a blockbuster movie on your phone. But match it with the TS P75, and the TS A75 will reveal its full sonic potential.
That said, if your current preamp or DAC is already top-notch, you might not notice a dramatic improvement in soundstage width. But if your preamp hasn’t yet reached the level of the TS A75, prepare to be wowed—the difference with the TS P75 is nothing short of massive.

Exotic Capacitors for Maximum Fidelity

Crack open the TS P75 and the first thing you’ll see is a veritable “cap forest”—capacitors everywhere! At Galion, we’re not here to pinch pennies; we’re here to chase audio nirvana.

What sets us apart? Instead of settling for run-of-the-mill, budget-friendly capacitors, we rolled up our sleeves and splurged on premium parts from Clarity, Solen, and Jupiter Audio. Honestly, you’d be hard-pressed to find another company willing to mix three exotic capacitor types at this price point—most would call it downright crazy!

But this “crazy” approach pays off: the TS P75 delivers performance that rivals preamps costing way more. So, while others might be counting their profits, we’re busy counting the capacitors—and the smiles on our customers’ faces.

Impedance Matching

You don’t often come across a preamp packed with this many capacitors—but trust us, there’s method to the madness. This unique design brings real benefits.

The TS P75 acts as a true bridge between your DAC and amplifier, smoothing out any impedance mismatches and ensuring your audio signal travels as cleanly as possible. Take the TS A75, for instance: paired with the TS P75, its bass tightens up, shedding bloat and gaining clarity. This lets subtle lower-midrange details emerge that you might not have noticed before.

Now, some listeners might miss the extra “fun” and punch of the TS A75’s slightly exaggerated bass. But from a high-end perspective, the combination of the TS P75 and TS A75 delivers a more balanced and refined sound—one that lets every note shine just as it should.

Adding Body to the Midrange

One of the standout advantages of using tubes in a preamp is their ability to infuse the midrange with a touch of warmth. With the TS P75, we deliberately tuned the preamp to enrich the midrange, prioritizing a sense of body and richness over strict neutrality.

This voicing choice makes your listening sessions more enjoyable and immersive—plus, the added smoothness helps prevent listening fatigue, so you can enjoy your music for hours on end. When paired with the TS A75, the TS P75 further enhances the midrange, giving it more substance and presence.

While it doesn’t push the vocals forward in the mix, it does create a more intimate feel—almost as if the singer is standing just a little closer to you, making every performance all the more captivating.

High Resolution

Another hallmark of high-end audio is exceptional resolution. A truly great tube preamp should deliver remarkable clarity and detail, but without tipping into a cold, clinical sound. That’s why the power supply is absolutely crucial.

With our sights set on rivaling top-tier preamps, we didn’t settle for generic off-the-shelf transformers. Instead, we commissioned custom-made toroidal transformers, engineered specifically for the TS P75. This ensures not only superior performance but also a listening experience that’s as refined as it is engaging.

Quality Components

One of the joys of collaborating with Doge Audio is their unwavering commitment to top-tier quality. Every single component in the TS P75 is selected with care—no compromises.

For instance, the preamp features a genuine Japanese Alps potentiometer for precise, reliable control. Even the internal wiring is handpicked to ensure the highest standards of performance and longevity. It’s this attention to detail that sets the TS P75 apart.

Carefully voiced

One of the secrets behind the TS P75’s remarkable performance is the countless hours we devoted to voicing and refining the preamp. We built and tested numerous prototypes, experimented with a wide range of components, and tweaked settings relentlessly—refusing to settle until we were truly proud of the results.

To ensure the TS P75 met our high standards, we invited multiple test groups to evaluate its sound. Only after receiving confident feedback and feeling completely satisfied with its performance did we move forward with production. With the TS P75, you’re getting a preamp that’s been fine-tuned for countless hours.

    Instruments and Vocals Have Way More Depth and Subtlety

    I have had the TS P75 preamp for about a week. The sound of my system has improved substantially. A lot more of the songs go from decent to great. I noticed the most change though in the subtle details such as the decaying sound of a cymbal sounding more real. The same goes for drums, piano, or the sound of a guitar pick sliding along a string. I went back to my old setup and picked Bob Dylan's Sarah. The new setup with the TS P75 sounds more real.

    My current higher end DAC has a built in analog preamp that I have heard cannot be removed. I discovered that contrary to what is usually recommended, the sound quality went up substantially if I increased the preamp volume and decreased the volume to listening levels in the software. I am moving to a class D amp with 10 times the power and realized that my volume adjustments would become more extreme. I have also heard that tube pre-amps are typically best for class D amps.

    So, I took the chance with the TS P75. I turned up the preamp in my DAC to the volume that is supposed to eliminate the gain and act as much like a strait wire as I could obtain; I was worried that that built-in preamp still in the signal path it would destroy the benefits of the TS P75. I turned the software volume up to 100%. Now, I have great sound and I can control the volume just with my remote; the sound is much better than what I could accomplish with the volume tweaks. The remote is also heavy and machined out a solid piece of aluminum, so it can serve a secondary role as a personal protection device.

    Great combo with audiophile sound

    I purchased the P75 with the A75 after seeing multiple YouTubers reviewing them, and I'm very happy with the sound of my new equipment! I've never owned $5k equipment, so I can't speak to the "punching up" aspect of the Galions, with which the Tubers were obsessed. This is solid equipment with great sound, and with the added ability to tune the sound by rolling tubes, all for ~$3,300 for both the pre-amp and amp. This is affordable audiophile hifi, and brought life back to my speakers (Paradigm 75Fs) without hurting my ears. The bass is tight and fully present and changes with different tubes (I tried the Mullard 12AT7s), and the voice is front and center, with a beautiful timbre. The sound stage is vey deep, and I'm hearing things like a bow being pulled across the strings of a bass violin in ways I haven't heard before; hearing Tom Waits keeping time by tapping his foot on Ol' 55. NOTE: Don't be afraid to move your speakers and change toe-in to find the sweet spot. Kudos and thanks to Thomas for achieving the goal of affordable audiophile sound!

    Lives Up to the Hype

    First, I just want to echo Bill McF's review and his assessment. I too have a TS A75. I've have now let my TS P75 play for 30 hours as Thomas suggested, and the sound is waaay better than expected. I have by speakers located on the same wall as my bedroom door where my stereo is located. I was watching TV in my living room letting my stereo run (first seven hours) when I walked in my bedroom for a second to grab something. I just opened the door, and I stopped dead in my tracks. The projection of the sound was at least three feet farther into the room than I ever heard at the normal low volume I have my stereo playing when I burn in new equipment. I trust Thomas and Loic that this preamp will pair well with a variety of amps, but I can only give my endorsement with the TS A75. It truly is a match made in heaven. The combo sounds much better than some of my friends' gear that is close to double the price. If your DAC is lean sounding ( I have a Eversolo DMP-A6 master edition) don't worry, the very subtle warmth and soundstage of the A75/P75 pairing compliments the clinical nature of many delta sigma DACs. You get the best of both worlds. I was thinking about buying new speakers, but probably not now. I have reached audio nirvana already.

    TS P75 - Tube heaven

    Just received my TS P75 yesterday and have been busy testing out its performance. This is the 3rd unit from Galion - started with the Voyage TL speakers, bought the TS A75 and snapped up the TS P75 as soon as it was launched. Thomas, if you decide to produce a DAC or floor standing speakers count me in!!

    Not much more to add to what Thomas has been expressing in his video - 3D soundstage, Bass, Mid-range are all as promised. It really brings out the best from the TS A75, and the tubes really work their magic...
