from ebay Summary:
I have an upgraded cayin ta=30 that I love, but I somehow had to have a single ended triode to hear the difference. The amp is single ended class A but actually uses the kt-88 as a pentode, the seller emailed me and explained that is the reason the amp has more power then most set amps. I;m really thrilled with it, it has a em80 tube which have two green bars , one from the bottom and one coming down from yje top; the manual says when the bars touch the amp is clipping. This amp clips in such a subtle way which is not harsh to the ear, so playing classic rock which is compressed you can get a lot of volume out of it, it just never gets harsh. I use it with klipsh heresies hich are 87db sensitive, The amp uses two kt-88's 2 12ax7's and two 12au7's.plus the em80, which makes a cool green glow. Its a simple looking amp, nice stainless steel chassis, on the inside its got silver wire, a gold plated pcb, and auracaps. Japanese transformers which I've been told are the best. Strengths:
Sweet warm tone. It has more base then my other amps, more full but not as stiff. I needed to get some new cd's, it seems at its best with jazz, old dave brubeck. I'm listening to Sting, his voice sounds so clear. It uses kt-88's or kt-90's, that gives me lots of options, I hope to get some of the generex re-issues, gold lions. Weaknesses:
Won't drive ineffecient speakers Similar Products Used:
