Soulution 755 – The Absolute Sound – Golden Ear 2016

At the moment I use four superb phonostages—the Audio Consulting Silver Rock, the POY-award winning Constellation Perseus, the POY-winning VAC Statement, and, the newest arrival, the Soulution 755. Although all four have considerable individual strengths (the Silver Rock boasts unparalleled midband detail, the Perseus exceptional neutrality, overall resolution, and transient speed, the VAC superior timbral beauty, presence, and bloom) and all could easily win Golden Ears, the Soulution 755 seemingly combines their virtues, virtually undimished, in a single package. The 755 is also the most versatile preamp of the bunch.

Soulution 755 – The Absolute Sound – Editor's Choice 2023

Its performance is phenomenal, combining all the traditional Soulution virtues (color, bloom, body, slam, lightning transient speed) with extremely high-resolution of detail and superb pitch definition in the bass. The thing about Soulution is that that detail is woven into the fabric of the music (rather in the way tubes present detail), rather than riding analytically on its surface. One of Soulution’s truly great products and JV’s reference.
