Your review went over the different modes in detail- without glossing over. I love that. Wish that more AV / HiFi equipment reviews were like this one.

Man, you gotta give Thomas props on incorporating a fair bit of new or very rare technology into an integrated tube amp: truly is unique!!! And a Black Ice Fusion integrated?! I am SUPER curious to hear this, the Black Ice, Wellsington, and LTA!!!!

[robk]

Thomas built an amazing product! So excited you tubers are reviewing it now

[mr.hitachi]

Impressive and smart design! Can't wait to hear your impressions on this one!

Thomas explained the A setting as analytical or sharply focused, which might mean higher negative feedback. The B setting likely has lower feedback. BTW the tone controls are narrow EQ bands with +/- 4 dB adjustment ranges.

This video is very well shot and explained in detail.
After watching your video, I find that it is very easy to operate .
Great job 😊👍

[davidbailey]

That was the best explanation I’ve heard so far regarding this tube amp. Great job!

[NemoPropaganda]

100% correct dude, I'm not afraid to admit I've been intimidated by tubes for a long time because of the whole biasing thing. Great overview! Like.

[andrewsmith]

Yes, the Doge 10 (that's Doesh, not Dodge) has the same functionality. I have the MKIII, based on a review and recommendation from Thomas. I like that it also has two Subwoofer connections, which many amps do not have. The tweaks that Thomas worked with Doge to incorporate into his version are cool too, like the tone control. Doge now is onto version 4, but I think the Gallion still has some differences., especially with some of the internal components It really is an impressive amp, and the best tube amp I have ever had. For me, it has the sound I like, and compared to McIntosh or Cary Audio and other similar, it's a fraction of the price.

[Buddythunder]

Wow, beautiful operation. Really feature-packed looking amp!

[JohnScheppler]

Great job with the tube biasing, that makes that so much easier to do.

LOVE to see this here!!! Thanks Ron for taking on a product like this from within the community of enthusiasts / YT !!
I would love to see this inter-play between creators more than an advertising stream for the meglo-million dollar giants of production. ( imo )

Also .. I love your rack! built custom or bought as is?

[ChannelListening]

That is brilliant. Much success to Thomas. I am glad you get to review the TS120SE

Question: running that amp in Class A, with so little breathing room under that wood shelf, how are the temperatures?

Thanks for what you do Ron. I cannot wait to see how you finish off your new space.

[AudioElectronicsChicago]

I like it, the remote control is a big plus

[NosEL]

It's almost like it was designed by someone who actually listens to a lot of music and knows what we need and want to make using a tube amplifier as easy and practical as any amplifier out on the market. I wish my tube amp had these features...and on a remote 😲😳

[themarklar]

I own the Doge 10 Integrated that is very similar to Thomas's creation. I love it! And I'm sure this new one is great as well. Good luck Thomas, I'm sure it'll be a raging success!

[joenovak]

Hi Ron, the "Auto" functions for Tube BAIS, Class A and Class AB switching are a Plus for Galion and maybe Thomas has learned from PrimaLuna EVO line that is the real deal on "Adaptive AutoBias", Triode/Ultra-Linear Switching seamlessly in real time (from remote) and Bad Tube Indicators thru Adaptive AutoBias that puts the Amp into protection mode (no service call), replace with a New Tube and you're off. Another PrimaLuna feature, you can run the Amp with EL34, 6550, KT66, KT77, KT88, KT90, KT120 and KT150's and if you like (not sure why) put any Tube into one of 8 slots (4 Tubes per Mono Design = 8 Tubes) and the Amp would AutoBias and run. I look forward to your review on Galion TS120SE.

[pkats]

It’s like the Swiss Army knife of tube amps. Inspector gadget would be very proud! I would love to get my grubby little hands on one of them

[patbarr]

Well, no I've never heard of this brand (maybe it had not been available in California). It looks stylish, well thought out & solid. The pricing was a bit confusing, since he sets up a "deposit" before final payment, but finished product pricing seems reasonable. (I was fortunate to grab a Primaluna amp at a closeout price & have been happy with it for many years.)
