Hello,
Would a Graham Slee Ultra Linear with PSU1 power supply still be worth buying in 2025? For £375, There are so many to choose from nowadays it is hard to decide,
ThanksBig smile

Certainly worth buying, especially at that price. I've not heard the musicality of the ULDE bettered at it's price point and even well beyond.
Just my opinion.
Happy Listening
Ian
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

I only have the Solo with PSU1. For me it's all I need and don't have any plans to replacing it as it sounds so good.
I would say go for it as I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Try it out on loan. Nothing like listening to it in you HiFi system.

It is a very good combo and Jon is right about trying it. If you want please PM John_C.

Hi all,
I'm considering buying a Solo ULDE to plug directly into a Chord Electronics QTest DAC - just wondering if anyone does this with a QTest or any other DAC?

The QTest phono output has three selectable output levels -1,2 and 3 volts so I think it will drive the Solo OK looking at the specs. I've got other bits of CE kit, but the Hugo TT desktop DAC/pre amp/phone amp which CE offer for the "desktop" is very expensive, and I don't need all that functionality because I only listen to music via headphones (Beyerdynamic T1 latest version - Z=30R). So a DAC/headphone amp would be perfect for me and the QTest will accomodate my future plans with my existing CE kit.

I think a loan might be required!

Hi Dave.
A home loan is the best way as you can try it with your system.
