This beautifully hand crafted amplifier is designed to deliver the sound of the original classic Marantz 8B amplifier.The Cayin Audio A-50T uses four EL34 Output Tubes for Class AB1 Push Pull Amplification. The craftsmanship is first rate, inside and outside. The torodial power transformer and EI output transformers are specially designed and manufactured for the Cayin A-50T. The soft-start circuit helps extend tube life (typically 3000 hours). The removable cage snaps on and off anytime. Once the cover is off, the bias adjustment controls and test points are easily accessible from the top of the chassis. Robert Reina from Stereophile stated, "...the Cayin A-50T is competitive with many higher-powered, more expensive integrateds, both tube and solid-state, and its strengths rival those of many far more expensive tube separates I've heard. Finally, the 35Wpc A-50T behaves like an amplifier that puts out twice its rated power-or more. I strongly recommend that anyone looking for a tube integrated amplifier listen to the magic that the Cayin A-50T can produce." I am the second owner of this amp. I replaced the stock tubes with NOS Amperex 12AU7 and RCA 12AX7 driver tubes and new JJ KT77 power tubes. Also all coupling caps (6) have been upgraded to Mundorf silver-in-oil caps. The amp is in excellent condition and has seen minimal use since the upgrades. Remote control allows you to adjust volume, switch between 4 inputs, and select between 35 watts Ultralinear or 16 watts triode per channel on-the-fly. Original manual, tube cage and power cord are included. Seller pays shipping to continental US addresses only.
