well here is the deal dear tube fanatic.
i didnt even end up going to the dealer. i asked them to bring it over to my place for purchase. they did a great price. they hooked it upto my rf82s. the guy brought two kinds of speaker cables. one american made, starts with leter m i think. 400 euros. looked pretty complicated. i kindly asked the gentleman to hook up the other silver wire made in holland. he said you will buy the expensive one. i said not now. i know i will.
it is interesting how the cayin warmed about 30secs or so to light up the blue light on the volume knob. unfortunately i have a huge 320kpbs bit rate of mp3s.i had to play them on my macbook pro. the guy was a little upset to see that. i said well i will set up my cd player later, lets hear them right away.
it is probably the most crisp and robust sound i ever heard and listened in my life. i tested different genres of music from dire straits, miles davis, diana krall, tracey thorn, jobim, keith jarrett, snoop dogg, royksopp and so on. i made sure i played some high kpbs mp3s because the quality btw lower and higher bit rate music is too obvious in these speakers.
I am not even mentioning the ultralinear and triod mode. They both sound great on different music styles.
I think I will have to invest some money in a decent cd player now.
Thank you for all the help. You spent time to help me make my decision.
Did I mention the white gloves came with the box to hold that beautiful cayin tube.
Thanks bunch
