richieb Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 === my first tube amp was Cayin. Beautiful finish and great build quality. I think you’ll find Cayin is one of the most respected brands from Chinese manufacturers. Not sure you could do a whole lot better quality wise - I can’t be sure but the similarities of several Prima Luna models and that of earlier Cayin, like the one I owned, lead me to believe Cayin builds for Prima Luna — Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never owned one ,but may in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 === I do know that several years ago at the Pilgrimage in Indy Klipsch did a demo comparing Heritage and RF series — they used a Cayin integrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Jim Hunter also used a Cayin on the 60th Anniversary Klipschorn demo. I thought that sounded real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
