jetok,

i think Hans just wanted a new flavor, i doubt if he'll give up the AMX...sabi nga nya sa akin, love na love nya yun.  EL84-based amp is not bad, gandang tumunog... a baby with a bite... very musical.... parang pinagsama na triode at pentode kung tumunog.  Personally, hinahanap-hanap ko minsan ang tunog ng EL84, kaya lang talagang wala na akong space for it, kung meron lang I will keep mine. :'(

Hans,
Go go go! just go for the version with the RealCaps...you'll never go wrong.... Count me in...suportahan din ta ka all the way!

Change the caps to Solen or Mundorf MKP caps - hint hint hahaha.
Change the pre-amp tubes to amprex or mullard NOS   ;D

Why am i telling you these since it will void the warranty.  ;D ;D ;D

For all our customers who wish to upgrade... please coordinate with us so that we can record the changes and try to ask Cayin to extend their warranty (if possible). 

All Cayin comes with the following warranty - 1 year parts and labor, 6 months for tubes (unless you step on them hahaha).  Policy is direct replacement.  If the unit has problems; we replace them with a new one instantly so you dont have to wait for repairs.  Thats how confident we are with our products!   :D



Can you give me a cost estimate if ever I need to upgrade my 1 yr. old cayin MT35, and how long will it take (while  u wait ba?)?

Sir, depends on what mundorf caps you'll using. You need to change 0.33uF x 2pc and 0.22uF x 4pc. Please browse our thread on mundorf caps for pricing. You have to leave your unit for a day or 2.

Just want to invite all tube lovers to visit AUDIO AMPLIFIED INC. thread for Cayin factory tour pics  :D



Sir...Ask ko muna magkano  ang Cayin Int. Tube Amp na nasa 30-40W x 2 (preferably penthode mode / push-pull parallel in dual mono-block configuration).  Sa Eastwood ako nagwo-work at madalas kong makita iyong Audio Amplified on my way home.  Gusto ko munang malaman ang price para makapag-set ako ng budget for an int. tube amp to pair my original UK Monitor Audio S6.  Ayoko kaseng magpunta sa mga hifi shops kung hindi naka-ready ang cash ko baka kase tumulo lang ang laway ko.

Thanks....

Noel,

What are the benefits of installing Mundorf Caps in the Tube Amp?  How about in the CDP?

I hope you can post the advantages.  I have an MT35 and the CDt15 cdp. 

Prices na rin pls. if possible.

Thanks a lot!

Mundorf Caps can make the amp and CDP (which are already GREAT) sound 3x better hahaha.... okay thats too much.  However, from our expirience as well as that of countless mt-35 and cdt-15 owners who have changed their caps from stock to mundorf, it provides better control of low frequencies (tighter bass), smoother mids and more details.  In general, it optimizes your amps to the fullest.

If you research online, many US audiophiles get the MT-35, upgrade its caps and sell that amp for $3,000 or more!  Thats how good it can sound.  As for the price... well Mundorf has 4 models for the caps - ZN, Supreme, Silver Oil and Silver Gold.  Noel can you kindly pm the prices for the kits.

Many thanks.

Le_Stat,

I use monitor audio's S2.  IMO, they match well with tubes.  Just glad that the upgrade bug hasn't bitten me yet.

thanks Audio Amplified!  From the way you described it, it seems better for the amp.  How about for the cdp?  Same benefits?  Sorry for all the questions . . .

one more query, do you sell other brands of tubes for the mt 35?  what do you have in stock?

salamat!

Sir,

We have NOS pre-amp tubes and Electro Harmonics 6CA7.  The 6CA7 is the military grade counterpart of EL-34.  From our expirience they sound better than the EL-34 stock that the mt-35 comes with.  Then again let your ears decide...

We are open mon-sat 1pm - 8pm and on sun or holidays by appointment.  Will wait for your text.  Thanks :)

Sir,
for cdt15a you need 3pc 0.1uF, 2pc 0.33uF, 2pc 2.2uF
for MT-35 you need 4pc 0.22uF and 2pc 0.33uF

Depends on what type of mundorf upgrade you want  ;)

thanks crisel!

guys, if you want to upgrade your tube gears, i strongly recommend mundorf caps.  had 'em installed in my mt-35 and i was surprised at how the soundstage improved.  mids, highs, esp. the lows are now more defined.

can't wait to have my cdp tweaked as well.

thanks audioamp for bringing in mundorf!

all the best . . .

Thanks for trying Mundorf caps... those caps really brings a new meaning to "tweaking" your amps.  Wait till tey hit 200 hours and you will really feel - i mean HEAR the difference.  With mundorf caps your MT-35 can now confidently go head to head against amps 3-4x its price :)  Now thats value for money and that is what Audio Amplified is all about... making our customers happy for the least cash out.

Will wait for you to bring in your CDT-15A and hope you can write a review on it as well so as to share the mundorf secret with other audiophiles.

Noel,  thank you for your accomodation.  Natanggalan na ako ng isang tinik ng pag-iisip kung anong amp kukunin ko.   ;D



Now, the wait begins to just complete the set up in a few more weeks.  ;)

Thanks sir... we promise that you will be happy with that amp.  Personally its one of the best integrated amps i've heard.  We will gladly help you soup it up to tailor your personal taste.

BTW - please let us know when you decide to get the moon river mini.  we can deliver it for you since these are big speakers!  in the mean time we can even lend you a speaker if you want so that you can already start to enjoy your amp :)

One funny thing that happened is you got an amp that was totally different from the one you first considered... thats why we really recommend auditioning the system.  Listening it for yourself is the ONLY way to know if an equipment is good for you or not.

I'll just wait nalang till i complete the set up para mas exciting ang experience.  Thanks for the offer though.   :)

Yeah, dun ako napunta sa mas mahal.  :o hehehe.  But I got to choose the unit that really suited my taste.  8)  Dont forget also that this also happened on my decision sa speakers. Grabe, talk about overshooting the budget.   At least I don't get to have that upgrade itch.  It's going to be a long while before that happens.
