Michi P5 Preamp Review - Stereophile

Reviewer Ken Micallef from Stereophile takes a close look at Rotel's Michi P5 Preamplifier, offering his insight along with an overall fantastic review on the acclaimed product.


"Through the P5, every instrument was portrayed as a clear, distinct, meaty line, with solid tone and precise, stable placement within the soundstage."

"Overall, the MQA files played through the P5 had superior resolution, clarity, weight, intimacy, saturated tones, and a seemingly bottomless noise floor, while also sounding somewhat ‘treated’ and otherworldly."

"It acquitted itself well on all fronts—or all the fronts I tried. It’s MC phono stage sounded very good, and its rendering of MQA files was unlike any digital playback I’ve experienced, a delightful audio event."
