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.
Holographic Sound Stage
Einer der entscheidenden Unterschiede zwischen HiFi-Geräten der Einstiegsklasse und echter High-End-Leistung ist die Fähigkeit, ein holografisches, dreidimensionales Klangbild zu erzeugen. Um diesen schwer fassbaren, luftigen und eindringlichen Klang zu einem Preis zu erreichen, der Ihr Portemonnaie nicht leert, wussten wir, dass wir Röhren ins Spiel bringen mussten.
Wir haben den TS P75 so konstruiert, dass er in Verbindung mit den meisten Verstärkern dieses weitläufige, vielschichtige Klangbild erzeugt. Für viele Hörer wird der TS P75 das erste Mal sein, dass sie ein wirklich vielschichtiges Klangbild erleben - eine Eigenschaft, die normalerweise nur wesentlich teureren Vorverstärkern vorbehalten ist.
Wenn Sie den TS A75 mit einem handelsüblichen Vorverstärker kombinieren, werden Sie feststellen, dass die Klangbühne schrumpft - so als würden Sie einen Blockbuster-Film auf Ihrem Handy ansehen. In Kombination mit dem TS P75 entfaltet der TS A75 jedoch sein volles klangliches Potenzial.
Das heißt, wenn Ihr aktueller Vorverstärker oder DAC bereits erstklassig ist, werden Sie vielleicht keine dramatische Verbesserung der Klangbühne feststellen. Wenn Ihr Vorverstärker jedoch noch nicht das Niveau des TS A75 erreicht hat, werden Sie begeistert sein - der Unterschied zum TS P75 ist geradezu gewaltig.
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.
