rebadged mediocre high profit margin gear
This is a complete lie. Uncool. What's the margin on a McIntosh MC275 compared to the Galion TS A75? All these businesses are on the brink of bankruptcy and I'm certain most employed aren't sailing a yacht.
Galion amp TS A 75
Anyone has experience on this amp? I heard this amp on a friend house together with Galion P75. I really like it. So I end up ordering the A75 after 50hrs I am so impressed it went head to head with my old plinius Sa 100.I wonder why no one talks about this amp here at Agon.

@bartsw Don’t want to rain on your Galion parade. No need to take my opinion on such a personal level. Galion exists for a reason, many frugal Audiophiles buy into the sales hype/pitch/trap of the claim of "getting more for your money" when the complete opposite is the truth. Take a minute and ask yourself what type of product are you actually getting? 25 year old Dodge/Bada/Dussun circuitry with a few modifications using OEM parts. If all Galion products were 1/3 of retail that might be considered decent value for a starter or workspace system. Since Galion sells direct the extra profit margin goes directly in one pocket. |
@dayglow I don't even know the guy but I can see the character. Nothing personal about saying it's uncool to make claims that cannot be proven. I'll double-down on it.
It's not a home theater processor with HDMI 1.3. I'd guess most people are using 20-30 year old amplifiers and preamps. I just shopped around for 20-30 year old preamps that still sell for ridiculous prices.
You're making claims on financials you likely don't know. McIntosh, Marantz, etc has economies of scale and existing infrastructure. For all we know, their profit margin is higher.
All I know is consumers who can't afford even mid-tier gear are given an opportunity to get near it and if it helps drive down the price in the industry, which I doubt, it is welcomed. |
