Just buy one!

I have had all sorts of hi fi amplifiers over the years. Some were cheap and cheerful like a NAD 3020 and some were more expensive like my pair of Musical Fidelity mono blocks. I have wanted to experiment with valves but just couldn’t accept some of the prices. So I thought I would go the passive route. A week or so ago I purchased a Quad 306 power amp and today I took delivery of this little box of delight. What can I say! Using the switches underneath to match the power amp so you can turn the volume up past twelve o’clock, the music just flows out. You get detail, depth and extension just as you were meant to. The soundstage is huge! This is especially wonderful as my system is in a small room. I close my eyes and the speakers disappear. I thoroughly recommend this product especially to those who want value for money but still demand quality.Read full review

The Tisbury Passive Amplifier is an amazing product for a modest investment

This passive preamplifier is an amazing product and fantastic value for money. It replaces a high-end vintage Marantz preamplifier eventhough I had managed to remove most of the noise in the system. The Tilsbury is literally silent keeping noise levels across the whole system to an absolute minium. Balance and tone controls aren't necessary and every piece of circuitary removed prevents noise from entering the system.

The result is a perfectly balanced sound stage with the centre well defined and sharply focused, which is usually the vocalist. The effect of removing the noise, even the minimal noise that existed, is stark due to the level of detail that is reveiled in the music. I can't rate this highly enough, except to say, save your money with this passive preamplifier and invest the rest elsewhere in your hi-fi system and you'll be greatly rewarded.

Excellent looking product

Simple quality product which delivers transparent impact on my music. A great marriage with my Quad 405. It could do with a bit more weight, as when plugged into cables, it does rear up a bit like a horse about to jump Read full review

Nice little audio gear.

This unit simply does its job as it should be keeping absolutely transparent in audio tract. The only complaint is that it's rather lightweight and is easy moveable whe used with thick cables.

Small, low cost but sounds very expensive - superb passive pre

Low cost, small footprint. Excellent detailed, powerful and 3 dimensional sound quality when linked to a powerful solid state power amp. Sound quality not just "excellent for the money", its excellent full stop.Read full review

Excellent value for money

Very well made, not expensive but punches well above it level. If you're not using vinyl, there's no reason why you would choose anything mega expensive at all. I'm using it with a pair of Albarry M1108s and it does its job extremely well. Good value for money.Read full review

Great value for money

Great little bit of kit if you want a stripped out system, using with CD player and Turntable set up straight into my power amp. Lets the sources do the talking without colouring the sound.
