[/quote]Recently bought this amp, it sounds fine but somehow kung mapapaganda pa sana SQ nya. Anybody knows who can tweak this and magkano kaya ang magagastos kung sakali? Help would be gladly appreciated. TIA braders

under warranty pa?
the selling point of this amp is low cost....unless me issues ka, i wouldn't recommend to touch it....after a year mabe pag expired na yung warranty....

Copy sir sayang din ang warranty baka biglang bumigay he he!Thanks for the advice. How about changing the tubes for a better one? Ano po kaya pwede ipalit na mas maganda at saan pwede bumili? I noticed kasi yesterday when I played it for about 5 hours nag bago ang SQ nya.

i am not a believer in tube rolling, you might spend for nothing.....the amps that benefit from rolling are those that were poorly designed to begin with....wala sa pana, nasa indyan yan.....

A ok, so wala din pala epekto tube rolling dito. Thanks master for the answers. More power to you!

if you want a budget stereo 2.0 setup, go for Polk TSi 100's. they're around 8500 a pair.

i've been using my AV-400 (higher wattage than the Sakura) for around 6months already, still with the stock tubes. No plans of tube rolling since i'm very happy them and i know that this not really a tube amp, not even a hybrid. But it belts out clean and loud music i have no complaints. Aside from the modifications on the unused pins of the driver tubes and bypass caps that Sir Tony did no other mods or upgrades were done. Very satisfied with it, alternating with a vintage Phonola 6AQ5 tube amp

Just use it as it is and be contented. And read the the whole thread even if it's long, you'll learn alot about this amp

Still enjoying this amp. Nagkwento ako sa kaibigan kong OFW sa China about this amp. Nainggit, ayun bumili ng SET na Raphaelites CS30. Nakupo! ako naman ang naiinggit. Pigilan nyo po ako!!!!!

docrob · « **Reply #701 on:** Nov 06, 2012 at 02:44 PM »

hahaha if you are really into tubes now read up on the works of sir Tony, Efren, s2kov and the rest of the masters here mas maganda pa ang gawa kesa sa mga banyagang intsik para sa akin dahil walang short cut at daya hehe

then ipon at hingi ka ng favor sa kanila para igawa ka nila ng Proudly Philippine Made

Good day mga Sir.
Is adding tube buffer after my source prior my AV-200T will add more tubey sound on my set-up? My source is just Platinum DVD/CD/MP3/videoke player.

igopyakobis · « **Reply #707 on:** Nov 13, 2012 at 09:23 AM »

Thanks for the info sir Tony.
So my next upgrade should be into pure tube amp. ipon mode....

docrob · « **Reply #708 on:** Nov 13, 2012 at 03:55 PM »

yup, enjoy mo lang yang sakura malinis naman tumunog at matino yan

then backread mo yung mga tube amp project threads dito para maenganyo ka lalo. pag decided ka na contact the masters like sir Tony, edrel and stick, para malaman mo cost. kung marunong ka mag DiY mas makakamura ka pa since pwede ka bentahan ng kit ikaw na lang magbuo

@ sakura tube owners, tube masters

would Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 bookshelf speakers sound good paired with this?

cHiNo2728 · « **Reply #713 on:** Nov 25, 2012 at 12:37 PM »

It should. I had Wharfe 9.1's paired with this some time ago. This is based of course with what your ears tell you.

docrob · « **Reply #714 on:** Nov 25, 2012 at 07:06 PM »

Yes, they can handle the wharfs

But we would suggest you look for the AV400 version instead. It's more powerful and the design is better than the 200

Meron ata si chino parating
