Wow I thought Thomas' Galleon looked like a Doge product. Another HIFI huckster?
Galion TS120
So this seems to be a bit weird. Thomas Tan from Thomas & Stereo is touting this as his improved version of the Doge 10. He’s having all of his YouTube buddies review the amp.
I’ve checked a number of the forums and I can’t find a single post about this amp. There is a very strange "post" where you would look for the Doge 10 by the co-creator of that amp who seems very upset about the Galion TS120 and the fact that they took the Doge 10 off the market even though the Galion TS120 is almost the same thing.
Ron, from New Record Day, has a video where he compared the Fusion Black Ice F35, the Rogue Cronus Magnum III, the Galion TS120 and the LTA Z40+i with sound samples and a reference. I listened and thought that the LTA was the best with the Galion second although it was a closer second than it should have been given the price differential.
So, anyhow, my questions are whether anyone has bought this or knows about it and/or has some thoughts about it.

@dz13 I had the same feeling, I wasn't sure how factual everything is but it sure is interesting and entertaining. Gotta love HIFI drama. As far as youtubers go, I don't trust them any farther than I could throw them. They're just talking heads. I'm sure Thomas' amp is pretty decent but, given the myriad of good choices out there, I'll skip his next time I'm looking for an integrated. I don't want to overpay for a private labeled Doge amp. |
