Placette Reviews: 
- "The Placette has some of the most refined, delicate, and utterly silken reproduction of high frequencies that has ever graced any system of mine. To be brief, under circumstances that I can control or am otherwise familiar with, I haven't heard a better pre-amp than the Placette"
Paul Seydor "The Absolute Sound" (issue 125)

- "How do you review a pre-amp that does not seem to have a sonic signature of its own?....In fact, the Placette comes as close to becoming the proverbial 'straight wire with gain' as any pre-amp I have had in my system. This is high praise indeed!"
Lewis Lanise "The AudiophileVoice"

- "The first thing that hit me between the ears was the soundfield. Like light blasting into a dark room, the Placette Preamp imparted new clarity and focus to my rig. the Placette simply ushers in a new level of resolution and relief. The entire soundfield seemed somehow elevated and more transparent, with more of a see-through. The Placette's brilliant ability to resolve inner detail and present music largely uncolored is admirable."
Ken Micallef "Soundstage.com"

- "In a word, the Placette delivers as promised. It's colorless, characterless, and a joy to listen through rather than "to". And it does so with a sense of control and precision and preternatural silence that is addicting."
Neil Gader "The Absolute Sound"

- The Placette Remote Volume Control enlivened proceedings markedly. The noise floor was distinctly lowered. Gone was the lack of image specificity - the tendency to blur the line between one instrument and another. Gone was the softness of transient attack and the gentling of micro-dynamics. Indeed, I had the sense that a window had been thrown open and a fresh blast of high-frequency air was wafting around the music."
