Topic: SAKURA AV-200T Tube Amp

[eqp2009]

i just bought a sakura av200 last dec 17 and been using since. I can say that i like it better than my yamaha rx-v440 specially on vocals. do i still need to modify it? will it still sound better?
Thanks.

I have to ask the vendor to replace my unit when i first bought it. there was a problem with the left speaker output when i tested it at home (gumagalasgas). the saleslady is kind enough to test their demo unit (to compare) and the result was the same. She requested for a brand new unit from their warehouse. My replacement unit sounds better than the first unit.

Maybe what the previous poster meant was since there was a sub pre-out, it can be connected to pilyo's passive sub through an amp of course unless pilyo had an active sub 

For the 200T vs AAudio FS, this I gottae hear as well.

This amp may have issues with the Wharfe 9.1 or Anthony's own floorstanders, but with
his proac clones, the combination is... astonishing!

Please let me clarify. Previous to my post above, two others commented rather unfavorably on the Sakura AV-200T; one paired it with the Wharfe 9.1, the other paired it with one of Anthony's floorstanders. That's all I meant! And why I said "may have," not "has." 

[wengkapre]

to all: Thanks for the help especially Sir TonyT

[jake052478]

I agree with Sir TonyT regarding his comment on Wharfedale 9.1... I used this speaker at home and guess what... the Sakura sings with it beautifully.   Je je je... wala namang problema yong wharfedale 9.1 ko pairing it with this amp.... ganda ganda ng tunog.... i just got mine yesterday.... reading all the reviews here about the amp i finally decided to get one for my audio setup.... I am still waiting for a Yamaha setup for my HT... je je je... ganda ng tunog.... di ko pa na test yong sub out nia i guess this will also a good pair with MARCOAMP... je je je... yes i mean connect muna sa ampv2 ni pilyo then sa sub... kayo naman.... je je je... i also got a 5.1 setup of this.... 1 amp4v2 and 5 pieces amp5 of sir MARCO PILYO and of course a sub enclosure and subwoofer.... Je Je Je

Sir how's the performance of this t-amp in Movies?

[oweidah]

has anybody tried the sakura / diymaster coax combi? imo, good match yan.

[jake052478]

Sa may raon, 3rd store mula sa gitna.. di ba salonga yon... taz may isa pa.. taz merun pa ulit isa... store... don ko nabili yon... Intsik yong me ari... medyo maganda... 3750 lang ang bigay nila... yong iba nga tinatago na kasi nalaman nilang maganda.   2mawad ako sa jems... wala daw sila stock eh iisa lang naman lahat bodega nila... lahat doon. ayaw na patawad... actually ang bigayan nila 3960... pero kahit papano natawaran ko ng kunti... Maganda nga siya... i just got mine yesterday... at di naman ako nagsisisi... it sounds better than my AVR na HK... anyway... magcanvass ka dun... madami nagsasabi pero pagmababa ang tawad mo biglang sasabihin titignan pa sa bodega kung may stock... Ganun sila lahat dun kahapon... 95% ng store sa raon electronics natanong ko... ayaw na magpatawad... je je je

Regarding movies, di ko tinest because i plan it to be use dedicated for audio lang... pag medyo mahilig ka sa audio... malaki kasi pagkakaiba ng tunog...  may separate akong setup for HT.... Yong SAKURA for audio lang talaga siya... i am even planning to connect it to my computer so that di na hussle sa mga CD... i have a gud sound card naman... medyo mid high na rin yon... pero i guess it will no longer matter but i hope maganda pa rin tunog...

tanong ko lang po pede ba ito sa 4 ohm 80watts floorstander speaker?  salamat

[markcrenz]

ang sub out ba nito may low pass crossover? kasi sinubukan ko dati yung sa av502 sub out, full range ang output, i.e., no low pass crossover.

[deuce]

tanong ko lang po pede ba ito sa 4 ohm 80watts floorstander speaker?  salamat

Pwede. My Dali Suite 1.7 is 4 ohm, 89 db, 40-160 watts. The Sakura AV-200T drives it pretty loud  .

[NongP]

@deuce

salamat ng marami.

[markcrenz]

hindi ako sure, pero yung dtx ko meron so okey alng....

yung amps kasi ni marcopilyo walang xover e. di rin cost-effective kung bibili pa ng separate xover. thanks anyway sir tony!

[machoman]

san kaya pde papalitan yun tube?

thanks!

Hi, who sells the modified version of the sakura 200t tube amp?

[iiinas]

Hi, who sells the modified version of the sakura 200t tube amp?

@diy_master used to do it. i dont know if he still does this since he is busy with his speaker creations. but you can try contacting him through pm if he still does it.

[egzbuen]

Hi guys, I am new in tubes and would be purchasing this amp this Tuesday along with 2 new floor standers.

Can you guys give me a heads-up on what I need to purchase to attach these FS to the AV-200t? I will be buying them from ACE probably, so, nothing fancy please  I would want to know to what I need to buy to attach my active sub too.

Thanks in advance

i don't know if the speaker wires from ACE are good. i suggest you buy from a/v stores.

for the subwoofer cable, you can ask paolorenzo to make one for you, just give him the length you need. here is his thread:

hope this helps.

hi bro, you can try contacting paolorenzo, get a banana plug, some decent speaker wires. Paolo also has really good cable for your sub. Im using this amp with the Proac Clone BS, serving me well naman.

[oweidah]

be sure FS easy to drive. (high sensitivity of 93db+ better)

hth

[egzbuen]

Ok, thanks for all the heads-up guys.

I will try and check out what paolo has to offer.

Going back to my question, what type of cable configuration would I need?

1. My A-Audio FS to connect to my AV-200T; and
2. My Ganzklar sub to connect to my AV-200T.

Meaning, two RCAs to two RCA jacks or one RCA jack that becomes two or what?

Sorry, really a newbie in this.

Thanks in advance again.

sir, do you mean speaker cable on number 1? you may try gauge 12 oxygen free speaker cable (maraming brand, it depends on your budget syempre  ) parang highway yan, mas mataba yung wire mas maganda  

for the sub, usually coax ang gamit. I recommend to use both RCA's on your sub. Mas solid ang tunog. May adaptor na nabibili to accomodate 1 input RCA to 2 output RCA. hope this helps  

[reynold]

pwede pamalit ang mga tubes na ito: 5R4,5V4, 5W4, or even 5Y3,

yung 6H23, pwede palitan ng 6922, or 6dj8...

Hi Sir Tony,

Have you already tried replacing the tubes? im just curious, may malaking difference ba in terms of sound quality using those tubes above? Thanks
