Rotel's Michi P5 Series 2 Preamplifier has received a glowing review courtesy of Andrew Dewhirst from Future Audiophile. In his review, Andrew praises the preamp's dual toroidal transformers, exceptional DAC, sleek design and its ease of use.
"The Rotel Michi P5 Series 2 was able to reproduce the sound of the organ in a way that sounded realistic, and when they really pushed the organ close to halfway through the track, you could really feel the music, almost as if you were in the small church where Arcade Fire recorded the album."
"The soundstage was solid throughout the track, as you could hear all of the small details that are in this dense piece of digital music with a wide, open presentation."
"Simply put, the Rotel Michi P5 Series 2 is an excellent preamplifier. There is a lot to be said for putting your efforts into producing the best possible sound, instead of providing a lot of bells and whistles, and that is what the P5 Series 2 represents."
