review of the latest pre amp from grandinote .

I really didn't expect such an interest about the all new Grandinote Genesi ultimate preamplifier. Based on the responses and requests, that came I've write up the first part of the review about this highly potent solid state preamplifier. You can also find an exclusive peek under the hood of the Genesi's and see the internal structure and design.

So what makes Genesi tick? It was designed from ground up to bring unrivalled completeness and consistency of the sound. Genesi operates in pure Class A without feedback, is fully dual-mono based and uses direct coupling stages in absence of any capacitors between them. Genesi's circuits were designed and optimised to follow the music's pace as well as to have ability to drive any power amplifier.



Grandinote circuits are very similar across all of the Massimiliano's products and one can recognise the Grandinote DNA across the complete product line like with the products like Shinai, Celio, Volta, preamplifiers and power amps. Even the Grandinote MACH speakers are designed to to follow the sonic orientation of naturalness, speed, energy, extension, a lot of details and informations etc.

Again congrats for the fantastic amps!

Thanks Audiophon!

Yes they have arrived :D

My whole system is going through transition at the moment and have been too busy to listen. Well just a little :)

Its quite remarkable what the Grandinote electronics can do. Its basically a tube amplifier but without tubes. With sonic attribute of tube and solid state. Closest thing ive could compare to is darTZeel but with more power than darTZeel.. unless you can afford NHB468 of course lol :D
My old amp sounds a bit lifeless and nowhere near as musical.

A very good match with TAD R1 the Demone and Genesi. Plenty of power!

Still early days..

Working on updating my cables now... fun fun!
 
Glad to hear!

I also changed from Pass XA 100.5 to the Demone and was wowed by the difference! You'll see that they will still greatly improve over time. Mine took weeks to fully break in.

I love your speakers, they are one of my all time favourites! I always read that they are incredibly power hungry... interesting that the 60 watt class A are enough to drive them adequately!

I also know that the new Genesi is a big improvement over my Domino, so sooner or later I'll definitely upgrade.

Keep us updated and please send some pics!

Thanks ! good to know about burn in.
Mine has very few hours on them and already sound great.

Yes 60watts pure class A watts ;)
 
Hi Bob, any news about your new amp? They now should be broken in ...

What other amps did you consider before buying the Grandinote?
