I have sakura av200t. it preforms very well. i hope this can answer all the questions i've read. first, mahal sa deeco. 3990, mas mura sa tapat ng deeco. i got it 3500. mabait pa ung chinese guy and he has the direct contact with the factory of sakura. maraming lumabas na fake sakura tube. ung chinese na kausap ko may paper na authorized sya as dealer and pwede syang magreport sa lahat ng fake sakura. Walang pwedeng gumawa or mag-ayos ng defective sakura sa raon. puro simple remedy lang ang gagawin nila. ang sabi ng dealer, kukunin nya muna ang unit at ipapadala sa factory kahit masaira ang tubes. Yun ang dapat na makausap nyo. baka ang nabilhan nyo ng sakura tube amp ay hindi registered.
Correct also sa sinabi ng isa natin member na from 30-40 watts lang sya. hybrid amp. hindi talaga na maximize ung lakas ng tubes. And in terms of A-Audio or si sir anthony ang may stock ng tubes, (correct me if im wrong) si sir anthony po ay pwede mag-modify ng buong sukura tube amp. nag-tanong na rin ako sa kanya, and sabi nya, mga 20 percent ang pwedeng i-ganda pa ng sound sa mga modifications na gagawin nya.
For 3 months of break-in, ung pang third month makikita nyo ang difference. As in! But try to have a decent BS speakers. I jas bought my D1 speakers last March 12 kay sir anthony, you know what? it really performs well. malalim ung bass, the mid-range and tweeter, perfect! timplado. i placed the volume at 7 o'clock for i week then 8 o'clock in this second week. With my estimation. Sakur can drive speakers from 30 to 100 watts. dont ever use it in a much higher watts coz it will only disappoint you.
ung isang question naman about more than one inputs. its already my 3rd day using Sakura tube amp with my turntable and cd player. I jas realized if both the cd player and the turntable is playing, there's a little hum. example: im playing my turntable in the cd slot of sakura, so before you switch the sakura selector to dvd ( which is playing an audio cd) you will lower the volume di ba? so ginawa ko yun until its off. i can still hear a song humming at the speakers before i turn the selector to dvd from which my cd player was hook.
hindi ko rin malaman kung bakit may feedback na ganun. kung talagang magaling din ang gawa ng Chinese, sana nakita nila ung dilemma nun.
