PREAMPLIFIER OF THE YEAR - Hi Fi + Magazine

Von Gaylord Harmony | Reviewed in Issue 172

Short of a passive
pot in a box, this
has to be one

of the simplest
preamps on the
market at the
moment, and
when it comes to
preamps, simple
is good!”

Built and supplied as part of a complete Von Gaylord system,
the Harmony preamp stood out as a simple, yet almost perfect,
execution of the valve preamplifier. This one-box valve design
strips away all but the basic functions of a preamp, passing up on
a balance control, balanced inputs or outputs, or even a tape loop.

There are just three single-ended line inputs, two knobs, and a toggle switch
(OK, there’s a basic remote and a blue LED denoting power on status, but that’s
about it). Inside, this is a point-to-point preamplifier, using VGA’s premium silver
wire throughout.

We felt this back-to-basics approach was a thoroughly good thing: “Short
of a passive pot in a box, this has to be one of the simplest preamps on the
market at the moment, and when it comes to preamps, simple is good!” The
preamplifier’s volume control is sensitive (especially when used with the Nirvana
power amps and Legend Reference loudspeakers) but the results are extremely transparent. In our test we felt the preamp was “transcribing the differences
between digital files so well that changes in level that might otherwise pass
almost unnoticed are brought into sharp highlight.” We also felt that “there’s
an ease to the whole presentation that accents the coherence of the system
perfectly,” which comes “as a result of exceptional dynamic range.”

We were reluctant to break up the system in our test, but of the
components in that system, the Harmony was a stand-out preamplifier, and
one that really lives up to its name!
