“Combining the Thoebe II and the Son of Ampzilla II forms an synergistic combination that presents a lifelike flesh and blood realism.”
— Ron Nagle, Enjoy The Music
”One characteristic of the phonostage that struck me right away was the sensational dynamic range, which is also a quality of the Ambrosia’s phonostage…. I recommend the optional phonostage without serious qualification as both an outstanding bargain and a fine performer without regard to price.… If I did not already own a preamplifier that serves my needs perfectly well, the Thoebe II would be a very tempting purchase to consider.”
— Paul Seydor, The Absolute Sound
“As listening continued week after week I repeatedly had the feeling that I could be hearing the Levinson No. 326S, an $11,400 preamplifier.... However, the Thoebe II’s phono stage is better.
Overall rating: 9.5/10”
— Jerry Seigel, 10 Audio
“The Thoebe II preamplifier offers an ideal combination of genuinely useful features, convenience, and stellar performance. Used with care, its tone controls, especially the treble, can transform any of number of tonally unmusical recordings into pleasing and listenable experiences…. Describing the sound does not invite purple prose; it is essentially neutral, transparent to the source, and at its price a true high-end bargain.”
