LP December/January Issue 1/2011:

The magazine LP has engaged intensively with our "first born". They got from us for the test a P 7 in an exceptional version in Carrara marble with black lettering and mat black  operating knobs (extra charge 400.-€).
Thomas Schmidt occupied himself intensively with the product with the following results:  "...the workingup quality and the used components of the Audio Exklusiv P 7 are absolutely exemplary. This starts with the high-class and clean built circuit board with its thick copper coating and ends with the extensive resonance damping of the unit."

He certifies the P 7 highest neutrality: "....we haven't had in our rooms for a long time an electronical device which played so unexcited, incorruptible and neutral as the P 7 did... unbestechlich und neutral wie der P7 hat in unseren Hörräumen schon lange keine Elektronik mehr gespielt....independently from the construction".

Besides excellent measuring values and a brilliant space it is "...fast and precise in every pitch, without having any breeze of "airy" clouding  which often leads to an early "AHA-effect" when listening a classical tube preamplifier, but after 15 minutes at the latest this effect will extremely annoy. So the P 7 is untypical for a tube - it is setting the reproduction absolutely to the point  and won't be impressed by any complex or dynamic music direction!

His summary: "The P 7 is well equipped, excellently worked out and absolutely clever composed - a preamplifier how it should be, never mind if transistor or tube.

[Translate to Englisch:] IMAGE HIFI 6/2011:

In the first Audio Exklusiv test of the magazine Image Hifi the P7 has been checked out critically. The design was Star Galaxy with black chromed knobs. 

The editorial journalist Michael Rassinger ist impressed: "...only for the buildup the developers earn a commendation..." Not only the buildup but also the sound inspires him strongly. For him the "...preamplifier is a component, which has to reproduce musical information neutral as possible, in many sophisticated colors but without becoming indistinctly... Therefore I can confirm that the P7 in fact does nothing else it has to do: to carry the music purely to the amplifier...No sign of own sound characteristics can be seen, which very often forms other products. Instead of that the P7 offers the information of the sound storage medium absolutely clear without falling into analytical. Timing and looseness suit perfectly, no stress or exaggeration can be felt.

Completely independent from the respective music category.  And: "...the comprehensibility is almost examplarily good."

Furthermore he emphasises: "...the style and the matter of course of the P7 impresses, as well as the neutrality and the grip, that often, for myself, can be missed in many other tube appliances."
