Cayin CS-100A Integrated Amplifier

DESCRIPTION

Cayin was founded in 1993 and are devoted to design and production of hi-end audio equipment.They specialise in valve amplifiers and base their designs on the iconic Saul B. Marantz Models 7 and 8 of the 1960's which were famous for their sweet, natural and exceptionally musical sound.Their CS-100A model is a fine example of their craft and is handcrafted with point-to-point wiring, and with wide bandwidth EI output toroidal transformer to provide the current to bring the music to life.The sweetness of valves with their sonic warmth and aesthetic glow will highlight the true analogue, atmospheric experience of listening to vinyl. 


The CS-100A has been totally reworked and now offers on-noard Bias meter and can run KT88 Valves as per factory or EL34 family valves from a simple flick of a switch on the rear panel.

High quality power output of 80w per channel is provided in Class AB Ultra Linear mode or 50wpc in Triode mode. Silver internal wiring is now used in the signal path for sparkeling clean topend production.

Full remote control and safty cage finish off this stunning high powered amplifier.
