Just finished a private consult with Jay. He is the real deal. Super experienced and knowledgeable. Super helpful. And super friendly! Thanks Jay!

Great job Jay and thank you.

Just added the Soulution 325 preamplifier to my system (Chord-SPM-1200E, B&W 802Ds, Esoteric SA-10 CD (used as a transport) & Berkeley Alpha Reference DAC ) Truly Next Level Sound!

Jay great review Jay - so well done, thank you. Future suggestion - would love to hear the unnamed class a monos driven by the Ref 6 SE, just to see if some of that tubey magic happens along the lines of when you did the Merrill Monos with the Ref SE. Thanks for listening and you continue to help guide us audiophiles in the best possible way!

Love soulution! Soundstage is focused but not grand ont the lower series. Yet super engaging.

You are absolutely right ; the 725 is an incredible good preamp. Soulution is for more than then years in my system .First the 721 +700's with Wilson Maxx 3, later after update the 725 + 701's with GamuT Zodiac speakers. A very natural souding combination. The preamp is sensitive for AC power. ( as all preamps) Best results you get with a Stromtank batteries power supply

Would love to hear this and the Boulder. On second thought, maybe not! Great video Jay.

Jay, keep up the good work and review audionet preamps

Thanks J!

I don't know Jay I need something that has a wide and deep sound stage. Like you are standing in the center of a live performance about on the 40 yard line. I hope that Block Audio will do that. Thanks for another video!

Agree….. and I have owned several high end preamps…..

I am surprised to see Solution after past comments about the resale value of certain brands. Not to say I’m disappointed, just the opposite. Great review as always. Every time I wonder what else is left to discover, you open up new doors.

Try the CH Precision L1 pre, that will blow your mind, seriously. It's Swiss as well so the same caveats apply

500k uF is silly. No need for that. I appreciate the thought you put into the review.

Awesome review brother…I’m still trying to wrap my head around how a $60K pre can come up short in the soundstage department! 🤯🤷🏼‍♂️

I hope you are ok Jay! You looked like you were a little under the weather/lit! You must have had a rough night! Solution 725 definitely is Top Tier in resolution and detail! I believe it would improve just about anything it is hooked up to! Stay strong Brother!

Hey Jay, how are you comparing with other preamps like 2110 when the speakers, amp, and dac are all different? What method do you use to isolate the effect of the preamp and compare to what the Boulder would have sounded like in the same system?

I like your videos very much- do you thinking about to buy or try a kondo audionote G70i preamp?

You should try the Accuphase C-3900... ;)

Hi Jay, try running the 725 on a PS Audio P15 regen. Might help with the soundstage. Works on mine!

Thanks Jay! Great review. Wondering what you think of the 710 power amp (if you've heard it)? How much smaller was the soundstage on this pre compared to your best other kit? Are we talking a lot or a little?

Hi Jay, love the channel! Question... being you have a lot of high end equipment, how does this compare to something that is more normal priced, say a Hegel P20, 3-4k range? Is this really 20x better, like the price is? Have a hard time believing this is anything but diminishing returns at this price point. Thank you

jay have you listen the block audio monoblocks is it great ? i think to buy with battery pro

CH Audio is also a relatively new super hi-end audio company.

FM Acoustics makes the best pre amp, period

4K shipment? Wow, I am so happy to live only 30 min. away from the headquarter of Soulution. Still out of my budget :-(

Jay, great review; thank you. Any chance you can review Allnic L-10000. Very interested in your opinion....

I've heard this preamp is outstanding with tube amps as it has tremendous drive - wonder if you agreed on the Vacs

Jay, did you listen to this preamp with the program bandwidth set to LOW? I made the mistake of leaving it in HIGH and it sounded horrible. It still sounded bad in the MID setting too. Once I set in on LOW the magic started happening. There’s a lot more to this preamp than the average audiophile thinks!

If you play vinyl may be you can tame the 725 with a tube phono stage? May be cables?

Audionet is a good alternative, without the astronomical cost.

Gryphon Pandora may have been forgotten?

Could you do a full review of power cables and what they do in your system? I have a lot and I'm not sure they make that much difference (way below interconnects and speaker cables). Do you need a mega expensive system to hear the difference between power cables? Mine is £70k retail and I don't find much.

I know you will probably scoff at me, but my new Topping D90SE DAC's preamp section sounds much more transparent then the preamp in my new Marantz Model 30 integrated amp. Less veiled with the sound stage being wide and behind the speakers as well as much more detailed. Blew me away as I would have thought the preamp in the Marantz Model 30 would have been much better. It has it's own power supply for crying out loud! But nope. After switching back and forth several times I am keep returning to the Topping DAC's preamp. And it's not a small difference either! ... I now realize that there are some amazing (and seemingly unlikely) 'gems' out there today that happen to produce unbelievable sound. If cherry picked, you can build a system today that rivals the very best at a fraction of their cost. But you need to know what to get.

I don't think it will ever break down Swiss quality is top-notch. If you can afford this price tag you can afford the shipping cost. Would be nice to check out the power amps as well-meaning Solution pre-amp and Solution Power amp .

Jay , you not mention Gryphon Pandora in yours owned Pre .. It was insignificant for you ?

Well, what about CH? Another new comer that look like they are on top of their game.

Doesn't make sense MSB is "missing information"; please elaborate. The MSB preamp stage has no active parts, it's completely passive. So impossible to lose info.

If a DAC can drive a preamp at full line level volume, why wouldn't it be able to drive a power amp at reduced volume? If the DAC is too weak (lacking capacitance) to drive power amps, it should be too weak to drive a preamp at even higher volume, no?

Usually the highest compliment reviewers give to a component, is, I liked it so much I bought it. In your case, you'd liked it so much, you sold it. I know it's part of your deal, you must move on and try new components, but don't you get tired of changing up your system every few weeks or months?

Ive audition this from Moon Audio in England UK London Vs my 1987 Sony pre amplifier, I found it was lacking depth than my £2000 Sony. I didn't hear or missing instruments were not there on the amplifier. Big difference Vs studio music Vs audiophile. Speakers are PMC 22 with Sony SACD . Studio music is much better sounding than audiophile. You can hear hidden instruments playing on Sony, but you can't hear on this.

Jay , I can make my Pre Gryphon Athena with 1.000.000 mf .. Maibe i make it .. This capacitance 500.000 mf is not all for make a impressive bass .. Or almost perfect Pre ( in sound ) .

Soulution have a USA distributor in California, and the distributor has a network of authorized dealers. I find it difficult to believe the end user must bypass the local distribution channel and deal directly with the manufacturer in Switzerland for repair and not the authorized dealer, whether that be in-warranty or out-of-warranty. Assuming of course it was purchased via the authorized distribution channel. The distributor should have legal responsibility for in-warranty repair at no cost to the owner. The owner should only need to return it to the authorized dealer and nothing more. For OOW repair then yes, two-way shipping and repair charges will be the responsibility of the owner.

Wrong! Soulution 760 DAC has same 500,000 µFarad power supply. With Leedh processing it sounds better direct to amp or as good through 725.

$60K is really very reasonable for such a preamp. I would like to see some upgrades to bring up the specs, even if they have to charge another 60K.

Pandora

Anyone who can afford this pre amp will think nothing of shipping for 5 grand..

I hear only good things about solution

If 'Made is Switzerland' is a con due to shipping distances/costs...please spare a thought for us in Australia...'Made anywhere in the rest of the world' is a standard con for us 😀 Thanks for the Insights re Soulution 725.

jamie dimon, can you hear jay? c'mon guys, 65k? even a mid-sized recording studio cost less, no, seriously

For 65K, I'd except much better aesthetics. The design is uninspiring.

65,000 for a pre amp? OK.. That sounds reasonable? Sounds like a sickness!! It's just recorded music!
