Hi AudioAmplified,

Sir interesado ako sa Cayin integrated amps. I am looking forward to upgrade my amp.. I need your precious tip whether there's really big difference in terms of sound quality (not power quantity) between a-88t and a-50t? I have a small bedroom around 3.75 m X 3.75 m. My living room is around 4 X 5 m. I will use the system on those 2 areas of my place. My speaker is AVI Neutron IV which sounds not bad on my marantz amp. I am upgrading due to lacking of holographic soundstage and lacking of focus & sweetness of vocals.

Is a-50t good enough for my AVI speaker? or, is there a big difference when I choose a-88t?

Thank you.

Sir I agree with sir louisia. Audition first and let your ears decide for you. I am not familiar with your speaker brand. If you can give me your speaker specs I can help at least give you a ball park suggestion if the A-50T is sufficient to power it. As for match, we need to hook it up and listen. We do allow home audition so if you are in Manila you may just call us at 395-5115 to arrange.

As for A50T vs A88T. THe latter is a higher model hence it is a better amp no question. The question is if the A50T is enough and optimal for your system.

Do visit our site www.audioamplified.com for info on other Cayin products. We also have the SP series

Cayin's new line.

.. Here's the spec of the speaker:

Bass/mid driver: 127mm doped paper cone with 25mm voice coil
Tweeter: 28mm viscous damped fabric
Crossover: Second order, Linkwitz Riley (not b-wireable)

Based on the specs the Cayin A50T should be sufficient to power this small bookshelf. The review also says that it does not performs best on bright systems which makes tubes ideal.

Since its a small speaker why not bring it in to our showroom for an actual audition.

The A88 or A70 would definitely sound better than the A50 but best thing to do is to set it up and let your ears decide if the difference in price is worth the performance.

ANytime when you are ready sir.

Buying an audio system without listening to it first is like buying a suit without trying it on. Music is very personal... just like clothes. One that fits another person does not really guarantee that it will fit you well.

audition audition and audition

Sir query lang, I own an A55T integrated amp (EH 6CA7 tubes), Is it normal na may one clicking sound when ever I engage the Triode/Ultra linear mode coming from the speker, green to red light? If I turn the unit off with the red (Ultra or triode??) there is this pop (once only) sound in the speaker (Epos M15.2). Can you check your demo unit please. The previous owner said caps were upgraded to mundorf, almost a year with me na yung unit. Thanks

Good pm sir, would you recommend Dynadio Audience 62 to be paired with Cayin a55t or would it be too much? Music will be mostly jazz instrument, vocals and 80-90's pop, no metallicas etc.

Sir I reco bring your speaker to our showroom and lets listen to it. Audio is very subjective and I would be biased if I'll say that its a good matched.

You can call the showroom 395-5115 and we'll set up the system. Here is my cel 0918-9068718, 0922-8997605

Got a problem here with my amp (A55T with EH6550), while listening this afternoon,the sound on the left channel got distorted. I was still near the amp since I just turned it on, I noticed a strong glow of light inside the tube of the left front tube (EH6550). I immediately turned it off. I was frightened, I remove all the connections and put it out of the shelf. I tried to turn it on with nothing connected to it. I noticed there is still this strong glow in that particular left front tube. I boxed it and will bring it to you for check up. What time would you be open tomorrow, pls. text me at 09209609550 for info on your opening time, can I wait? I will be coming all the way from Binan Laguna. Good thing the sonus faber minuetto was working perfectly (now connected with NAD C372). Pls. give me an idea on the service charge.

thanks
ganicru/ganicru2 is one and the same

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

We heard the Cayin A100T, coupled with the Aurum Cantus Harmony speaks (or it looks like them at least) in Watt HiFi last Saturday. It's a very nice and spacious sound, with smooth and natural highs. It's among the best tube amps I've heard (to think, stock form pa siya). It sounded great in both Ultralinear and Single Ended modes. It was revealing, dynamic and neutral in Ultralinear mode, yet emotive, sonorous and pleasantly detailed in Single Ended mode. It had a nice Jekyll and Hyde thing going on.

Those who are planning to build separate SS and Tube setups should try this amp out. It offers the best of both worlds.
