Audiophilia has a highly positive review of the AirLens streamer. The review notes, “As with every audio component I’ve received from PS Audio, the shipping, and care that goes into the packaging was exemplary. The AirLens is a beautiful and unassuming small marvel in a square shape, with curved sides and a beautifully designed glossy black top.” He concluded, “I can almost hear the response to this review: It doesn’t have a DAC, and what do you mean it has no screen? Are you saying it doesn’t have Bluetooth? Yes. It is USD $1,999 for a DAC-less, Bluetooth-less, screen-less streamer, but I tell you this, the clean and immersive sound you’ll get, [and] the way you’ll experience streaming with this great audio component is well worth it.”

Future Audiophile wrote an enthusiastic review of the StellarGold preamplifier. Jerry Del Colliano said, “The metalwork is gorgeous and the preamp is built like a tank...With the PS Audio Stellar Gold Stereo Preamp, you are getting a serious, meticulously designed stereo preamp that could last a lifetime.”

He continued, “The soundstage was as wide as I have ever heard in my acoustically less-than-perfect room.”

The review concluded, “The PS Audio Stellar Gold Stereo Preamp performs like a champion, and at a price that real-world audiophiles can aspire to. That alone makes it worthy of consideration...If you are looking for a preamp that can kick ass and take names, but not send you into some form of complex bankruptcy, the PS Audio Stellar Gold Stereo Preamp should be on your short list of preamps to audition. If you want to find new levels of resolution and detail in your system, again, the PS Audio Stellar Gold Stereo Preamp might just be the ticket.”

 

The BHK Signature Mono 300 Power Amplifier is included in The Absolute Sound High-End Audio Buyer’s Guide 2024. The listing points out, “This 300W (into 8 ohms) hybrid (tube input stage/MOSFET output stage) monoblock is the distillation of all that celebrated electronics designer Bascom H. King has learned about amplifier circuits. The result is a component so rich, natural, and highly resolving that reviewer Anthony H. Cordesman bought the review samples. A genuine masterpiece from an Old Master.”
