CAYIN CS-55A

The wait is over… Finally replacing the legendary Cayin A-50T is the new CS-55A integrated amplifier.

Rated at 40-watts per channel into 8Ω in Class AB ultra-linear mode; The CS-55A is an all-rounder that will fit into many new hi-fi lovers’ homes. It comes standard with KT-88 power tubes that produce 40-watts per channel, but at a flick of a switch you can run EL-34 family tubes. This is a fantastic feature as the owner can tube roll 5 different tubes (KT88, 6550, EL34, 6CA7 and KT77) to achieve different sound without having to buy new equipment. And to make this process even easier the amplifier has an on-board voltmeter for easy adjustment of tube bias.

To extend the functionality of the CS-55A, Cayin has added the following features:
1) A built-in phono stage for the growing vinyl market.
2) A dedicated headphone output.
3) A 32-bit/384kHz USB DAC, so you can connect your computer to the CS-55A and stream music through it.
4) A full-featured remote control
5) The typical Cayin signatures, such as hand-made point-to-point wiring and silver-plated internal signal wiring.

CS-55A Front face is made from solid stainless steel with solid casted knobs.

CS-55A Rear shows the DAC input and EL34 to KT88 selector which allows you to use different tubes. Your CS-55A will automatically change the power supplied to accept each tube type family.

CS-55A Internals reveal the detailed point to point soldering, premium parts and silver-plated internal wiring.

CAYIN CS-100A

Replacing the popular A-100T is the dual-mode CS-100A valve amplifier, which is rated at 80 watts per channel in Class AB Ultra-linear mode and 50-watts per channel in triode mode. This new model has been totally reworked and now offers an on-board bias meter, and like its little brother the CS-55A it can also run KT-88 or EL family tubes for maximum tube rolling fun.

For those interested in the finer details, the CS-100A uses a 6SN7 for voltage amplification, 12AU7EH for phase inversion and voltage amplification, and 12BH7EH for voltage amplification and driver stages, with KT-88 or EL-34 output valves and comes with a soft-start circuit to protect the amplifier and extended the life of internal components, which include an Alps volume control, silver wiring, audio-grade capacitors and carbon film resistors, a toroidal transformer for the power supply, and wide-bandwidth EI output transformers.
