Testimonials:

"... these things are good. My system is just two channel and it's worth well into the mid 40's. At one time I borrowed a pair of $3000.00 Super Tweeters from Tannoy to try on this hifi. I haven't even broken these "Tube Magic Super Tweeters" in yet and I am getting the same results. You really packaged them well and they are in perfect working order. I wish you the best in the future with this product. If you market these well, I personally think you have a winner. I will be taking them over to some audiophile friends houses to show them off."

"Magic? Perhaps “Miracle” would be more appropriate. A good audiophile friend of mine alluded me to this new company, TubeMagic Canada, as he was quite impressed with the looks of their products. I ended up purchasing a pair of the M23SE mono blocks and hooking them up to my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia and what can I say? They sound awesome and the feature of the single ended 300B triode parallel circuitry is the unique difference compared to other tube power amplifiers I have had and used in the past.

What is also a pleasant surprise is the packaging that comes with these amps- a solid and high end looking aluminum metal with a lined internal polymeric insulation transportation case! Very well thought out indeed! Although I am fairly new to tube equipment and started over 5 years ago, I have had other high end tubes like AR, CJ, Golden Tube Audio, Dynaco, Sonic Frontiers, Quicksilver, Rogue, ASL and Jolida to name to few and TubeMagic are certainly my favorite pieces to keep and behold.

Strengths: Neutral, high resolution. A highly refined design worthy of inclusion in any system.
Weaknesses: I could have used a few more volume settings between 11:00 and 2:00.
System dependent: Can be noisy with low output cartridges."

"This is one of the first tube preamp that blend music along with my SET amplifiers so well without adding more or less "addictive" that I'm able to detect on most tube preamps on the market. I have had it face to face with some of the other fine preamps such as AN, BC, AR, Shindo, AT...etc which all MSRP close to or over $10,000 USD. They all seems to have strengths in different area, but put this P22 preamp to the top of the list. The pureness, clarity, neutrality, are among the top, especially the most important triode signature is still remaining here! Most other preamps have already change the whole characteristic on my SET amp, or some tube bloom blur blown that I no longer able to hear my full guitar chord music as well the staccato piano notes on my favorite Beethoven piano pieces. This is absolutely a very fine, high resolution preamp. Triode heads look no elsewhere."
