Thanks to Paul McGowan

About a year ago I bought a PS Audio BHK pre-amp  & was very pleased with the improvement in sound quality over the Rotel I had been using. I put in a pair of 60s era Telefunken tubes & thought it sounded great so I went shopping. Recently  I found a pair of PS Audio M1200 mono blocks & thought what the heck. I got them home & installed NOS 1958 Telefunken.tubes.
I should mention the amp I had in the system was a highly modified Carver TFM 45 I bought in the 80s.
What a difference! Have you ever had that OMG moment when you get to hear your music for the first time. I should have ditched the Carver yrs ago.
My hat's off to Paul McGowan!

I had a PS Audio BHK 250 and did not like the way it performed with my Magnepan 1.7i speakers. I traded it in for the M1200's. WOW, what a difference! These amplifiers are amazing and they make my Maggies sing! Highly recommended!!!

I have same combination of the BK Pre-amp and M1200 monoblocks.  I also have their new phono pre-amp.  Best setup I have had in the 45 years of being an audiophile.

I went from Odyssey Kismet stereo amp to PS audio M700s. It felt like for the first time I was really hearing what my Magnepan 1.7i could really do. Wish I could afford the 1200s but Im very happy with Pauls M700s. I don’t know Mr. McGowan but I’ve seen many of his videos and picked up on a few things that he’s said that makes me think that he is a genuinely nice person. I’d bet that there is not a racist bone in his body.

I’ve been thinking about getting a pair of the BHK 300 Mono Blocks. Wife says I can’t think of getting the 600’s. ☹️
