tommy499 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Nice Integrated Amp using El 34 tubes.........excellent with Klipsch. I see them on eBay and Audiogon regularly. Cayin Audio - A-50T Integrated Amp Not sure if the Jolida amps have remotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mctrigger Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 the cayin looks like a very nice amp especially in my price range but i dont see that it has any adjustment for bass and treble? i see alot of the aftermarket tube amps dont have those features. my fisher x101 has the controls and it makes a big differance.

Daddy Dee Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 yeh. that's sort of the nature with recently manufactured amps... no tone controls. "audiophiles" won't take them seriously. it's a marketing thing. used to bother me a bit, but have found that they really aren't needed for the most part. They can be helpful compensating for poor recordings. I have been using a Sunfire tube preamp for some years. It does have a remote and bass and treble contour controls. It is really a nice unit. there aren't alot of tube amps out there with remote AND tone controls. Back in the day, tone controls were standard on top of the line amplifiers. Now remote control is not so hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 the cayin looks like a very nice amp especially in my price range but i dont see that it has any adjustment for bass and treble? i see alot of the aftermarket tube amps dont have those features. my fisher x101 has the controls and it makes a big differance. Most modern integrated tube amps also don't have a balance control. This is an even more important feature than tone controls.
