TS A75

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...

Galion TS A75: High-End Performance Without the High-End Price

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.

This amp is something else...

I've been listening to the TS A75 for a couple months now. Honestly, my system has never sounded so good. With excellent recordings, soundstage is more expansive, yet instruments remain well focused. I listened to an 'old chestnut' tonight - Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (LP) - I know it's cliché, but it felt like I could hear all the way to the walls of the studio. Like others have mentioned, there seems to be more space around the instruments; more air. It is quite impressive. Overall, I have also noticed more texture and detail in the sound. One set of recordings I particularly enjoy is Herbert Blomstedt conducting the Brahms Symphonies. There is so much palpable texture in the basses, cellos, and low woodwinds (especially bassoon/contrabassoon). Thomas, you have voiced a really a wonderful amplifier...Absolutely recommended. Thank you for making such a great product at a price more audiophiles can afford. I'll be looking forward to your preamp. :)

I have attached a picture of my system. Room is treated. Source is Analog or Digital. Analog is Project 'The Classic' Turntable into (DIY) VTA PH-16 tube phono preamp. Digital is Denafrips IRIS into Pontus II via I2S. Preamp is one of three: Freya+ with 1950's MELZ 6n8s tubes/LISST buffers (really a fanstatic combination, btw), Denafrips Hades, or Gustard P26 with Sparkos op amps. Speakers are Philharmonic Audio 2's (I am so happy to have these...)

Superb Galion TS A75 power amplifier

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!

TS A75 through the eyes of the user

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.

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.
