Gilbert Yeung C312 Preamplifier Review

I have had the opportunity to have the C312 with SP36 capacitor pack in my system for a while now and it has absolutely been transformational, creating synergy with anything it has been paired with.

My written review was my first impressions after having spent 3 months with the pair and once it returned I decided to start working with Angela-Gilbert Yeung to give a deeper look at the creative genius behind these unique products.

Thank you for responding. Makes sense where the silicone meets solid parts like caps. Where he encases hook-up wire and soldering tabs on connectors it may be more problematic. Still an interesting approach to unwanted vibrations and potential noise/smearing.

In audiophile simple is best.

This looks like comples and has many additionals.

Blue, green, red and clear goop! LOL! Take a look inside a Boulder preamp to see quality workmanship!

All those wires are not good. Well laid out PC boards are superior.

Well laid out PCBs are utilized even here in the C312. The open wires are much better than laced or bundled wires to reduce crosstalk or interference. Point to point is, and always will be better than quick connectors.
