mopardave Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Just looking at some tube amps on the bay. CAYIN A-300B looks like a beefy amp. Anyone have any experience with these? Curious the build and sound quality on Klipsch Heritage. The CATIN 100B looks nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 @NOS Valves would be the guy to ask about that. I don’t really trust anyone else anymore when it comes to tube gear recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions welcomed from any members here that have owned one of these amps. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Jim Hunter had some Cayins hooked up to the 60th Anniversary Klipschorns. It sounded amazing. I would give them an enthusiastic thumbs up - but what do I really know? Craig is always quick to remind me that I’m not an amp guy - and he’s right.

Craig knows his Amps inside and out I would agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODS123 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I have no problem at all owning gear made in china, none whatsoever. I have lots of it in my home. ..However, I'm not sure about gear lacking a UL approval. Something about leaving such a device plugged in while I"m not home that gives me pause.

Schu Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 you know... Americans can make Tube amps also. if your overriding requirement is very low pricing, why even worry about whether or not it sounds good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you consider low pricing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
