Reviews around piece (5.00 of 5)

  • Well I have a Project Debut with a Vinyl table which is a superb piece of gear, so I liked the idea of matching these two.. and hoped that the hype was 1/2 true
  • Aside from that consideration, I am really really enjoying this piece of gear and would recommend it wholeheartedly for anyone who has an EQ that can create a 12db cut at 20hz - which is exactly how much I need to kill any subsonic feedback loop (as tested) at any meaningful volume.

Reviews around unit (5.00 of 5)

  • Simply put, everything sounds much, much better if you compare it with the average solid state pre-amp units built in on most mainstream solid state receivers.
  • Overall, this is a great unit which will bring out the best in your vinyl
  • The Emotiva is a good unit/good value for MM no question.

Reviews around state (5.00 of 5)

  • Someone in the comments mentioned that it is impossible for it to be really using the tubes because of the power supply that came with it wasn’t enough to power the tubes... as if a solid-state is hidden inside.
  • Can someone tell me if u see a solid-state anything here?
  • Simply put, everything sounds much, much better if you compare it with the average solid state pre-amp units built in on most mainstream solid state receivers.

Reviews around system (5.00 of 5)

  • It was all I hoped for; it created a magically warm, lush and beautiful soundstage on my modest system, letting it burn in for awhile boosted this even more
  • As another review stated, this took my somewhat modest system to a whole new level
  • I have a modest system comprising of a vintage pioneer receiver (SX780) and turntable (PL50), and Klipsch RM 150 bookshelf speakers
  • My system is very transparent and analytical, which is what I typically search for

Reviews around tone (5.00 of 5)

  • However, I then engaged the appropriate settings for a MC cartridge and the tone improved measurably.. very musical and surprisingly very flat.. but not limp.
  • Nice tone, works as expected, and I like the aesthetics.

Reviews around difference (5.00 of 5)

  • but, I replaced the 12ax-7 tube with a matched set of Telefunken tubes and picked a pair of Grounded Brass Tube Crowns from MapleShade audio (about $82 for the pair) and did make some positive difference and, in my opinion, worth the price
  • The difference between the Tube Box S and the built-in phono stage on my amp is astounding, and has to be heard to be believed

Reviews around amp (4.03 of 5)

  • If you spend less (I have two less expensive pre-amps), you get less sound openess, but the couple of more expensive pre-amps did not add a meaningful degree of more enjoyable sound
  • Simply put, everything sounds much, much better if you compare it with the average solid state pre-amp units built in on most mainstream solid state receivers.
  • Now working with a decent table, and it is a great pre amp
  • This is by far the best pre-amp I ever used I had a Cambridge cp2 before and it was great
  • Read remaining 6 reviews for amp

Reviews around tube (3.86 of 5)

  • Wow, the old tubes are even more detailed, warm and smooth
  • Anything with tubes should have a standby to keep the tubes hot but cutting the audio circuit, for connecting a guitar or getting past the initial skip on an album, in this case
  • Out of the box it sounded a little thin, but I think the tubes take some breaking in.
  • I’m not gonna lie - the tubes are fun to stare at, too.

Reviews around purchase (3.61 of 5)

  • You won't regret this purchase.
  • great purchase
  • expensive purchases that receive rave reviews are something that i'm usually very skeptical of ... it took me a long time to arrive at the decision to purchase this amp instead of something else
  • I believe this to be a worthwhile purchase and recommend it without hesitation.
