Graham Slee Solo SRGII headphone amplifier

GRAHAM SLEE SOLO SRGII HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER WITH PSU1 POWER SUPPLY

The Graham Slee Solo headphone amplifier is the choice of several studios and editing suites for one very important reason - the Solo headphone amplifier makes it easy to hear the editing cues. These are musical cues that are part of the performance, but they happen so quickly that lesser headphone amplifiers are not able to resolve quickly enough and thus mask. This makes the editing suite's job very difficult indeed. The wide-bandwidth performance of the Solo headphone amplifier reproduces music with the highest resolution. Coupled with its excellent dynamics, the Solo headphone amplifier is the obvious choice for the professional user or for the pristine listener who wants to hear music as it was originally recorded. The Solo is hand built and fully specification tested in England using selected high quality components to achieve its remarkable resolution and sound quality.

Graham Slee has over 30 years industry experience and has been "behind the scenes" designer in both professional and hi-fi audio, designing and developing a number of preamps and power amplifiers.

Reviews
" If you need your headphone amp to tell you exactly what is on a recording over and above anything else, you can stop reading the test now and go and buy the Solo SRGII. The detail retrieval it manages to conjure up is truly exceptional and this gives the Spektor and Melnikov pieces in particular an immediacy that is extremely impressive. It has no trouble discerning activities from the supporting strings in the Schumann piano trio that are lost in the mix elsewhere. This is then coupled with a tonality with voices and instruments that is unfailingly believable. The really good news is that none of this seems to affect the Solo SRGII's ability to pick up the pace and deliver with the two more uptempo tracks as well. It is able to deliver the thumping bassline of the Satriani piece with impressive agility and timing." - HiFi Choice, November 2015

"The strengths of the Solo Headphone Amplifier are in the extra high frequency extension, a superb transient response and an unsurpassed dynamic range. Percussion, flutes and bells all have an extra sparkle that breathes life in to the music" - Phil Gold, EnjoyTheMusic.com
