TS P75 Preamplifier

Tha Galion P75 is still a significant jump from my modded Freya+. My initial impression was holy sh*t! The bass! Just unleashed a lot more bass I didn’t even know my speakers had in them. Greater dynamics, an even darker background. Beautifully smooth detail without the occasional shrill highs I was experiencing. Thomas really nailed the balance of getting as much detail without being fatiguing on the high end. Just a solid addition to the A75 amp. I can’t wait to tube roll and get even more performance out of this thing, but it’s just fantastic out of the gates.

I use upgraded power cables on both devices. Using Pangea 14 and Pangea 9 cables.

My TS P75 sounds fantastic better sound stage, more airy sound, more detail, I been using the Threshold T2 Preamp (and my TS P75) sound much better for the $$$ you can not go wrong,
My Power Amplifier is a McIntosh 225 sound great whit the TS P75 I’m very Happy 😊

Very smooth sounding while being airy and 3 dimensional with a good recording. Well worth the money.

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.

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!
