This lovely Cayin CS-55A uses 8 valves:
2 x ECC83 (also known as 12AX7).
2 x ECC82 (also known as 12AU7).
4 x Matched KT88 power valves.
We recommend JJ Electronics valves for this amplifier. These are of very high quality and give a long life.
If you are on a budget and just want to upgrade just a couple of the valves – do the KT88s first as that will give the biggest sound improvement. If your valves are old and tired the change all eight.
The upgrade will give you superior sonics and a noticeable lower noise floor.
The amplifier boasts a fully anodized aluminum front panel, a vented chassis with a stunning finish, and meticulous hand-made point-to-point wiring. The soft-start circuit enhances the longevity of the toroidal power transformer and output transformers, while audio-grade capacitors, carbon film resistors, and ceramic tube sockets ensure top-notch performance and durability. The speaker output impedance is adjustable between 4 ohms and 8 ohms, further enhancing its versatility.
Upgrade your valves today and hear the difference they make.
