Below is the tentative pricing from cayin. Will keep updating this thread for changes  :)


Integrated Amplifier Cayin SP-1A: Rock on wood
Tentative Price PHP70,000.00

There are lots of retro Hi-Fi components today. But this one is different. Instead of only copying the design of the 60ties and 70ties, the SP-10A also sounds like amplifiers used to sound at that time: rich, smooth and warm. Small wonder, it still uses the same basic technology with four 6L6 power valves in the output stage.

The press was impressed by that smart combination of traditional values and traditional craftsmanship. Renowned German reviewer Hannes Maier remarked in his testreport in “stereoplay 5/08”, that the whole construction is well designed from the gold plated inputs through the circuit layout to the solid copper speaker terminals.

A class of it’s own is the remote made of aluminium with fine wooden side panels. It not only controls the amplifier, but also the CD-Player SP-CD300



Power Amplifier Cayin SP-40M: Woodstock reloaded
Tentative Price PHP70,000.00

This power amp matches the pre amplifier Cayin SP-30S from the concept and design. If you think you need more power or flexibility than our integrated amp can provide, you should have a close look at that one: it boosts 40 watts x 2, which is more than sufficient to drive most speakers. This power output is archived by a larger mains transformer and a combination of four KT88-EH, one 12AX7 and two 12AU7 valves. The whole design is simple, but straight: the 20-kilo component is available with different wooden cabinets accompanied by a heavy aluminium front. The sound reflects the classical appearance of the SP series and reminds of a time when valve components weren’t analytical at all.



CD-Player Cayin SP-CD300: Wood’n Chips
Tentative Price PHP70,000.00

This CD-Player blends the latest digital technology with a traditional valve output stage. Burr Brown manufactures the D/A converters of the type 1792 which are known for fine resolution. The famous German Hi-Fi reviewer Hannes Maier from “stereoplay” expressed his admiration about the sophisticated construction of the Cayin SP-CD300. It even has a kind of siren sound preventing children from playing around with the nice rocker switches.

The SP-CD300 matches the style of the integrated amplifier SP-10A and has balanced XLR-inputs for safe signal transmission. If you prefer the RCA connection, the transformers of the CD-Player will isolate the circuit against ground noise.

For controlling the whole SP Series with one remote, you can use the system controller – a piece of metal with wooden side panels that pleases the eye.

The sound of the SP-CD300 is really like you would expect it from a traditional valve component: It’s warm, rich and smooth like a good vintage vine.



Pre Amplifier Cayin SP-30S: Magic Tube
Tentative Price PHP70,000.00

Besides using the integrated amplifier SP-10A that was praised by the press, you can build up a more flexible system with the separate pre amplifier Cayin SP-30S. So you keep all benefits of the traditional style in sound and design, but can drive more critical speakers with more power than the main amp Cayin SP-40M is capable. The pre amp can be controlled with the very attractive system remote made of aluminium and wood to reflect the design of the whole SP range. The sound is as classical as the retro look – a well-balanced reminiscence to the golden age of Hi-Fi.

I got a A-70T amp, I think it is auto-bias version as there is no switch to set bias.  I want to replace the tube with telefunken EL34 quad.  Can I put in any 4 unmatched EL34 quad?  Will the amp auto tune the current for each tube?

Yes the amp with auto calibrate the tubes.  However try to make sure that the values are not very far apart (like 3 are very good and 1 is weak).  You may bring your tubes to our showroom and we can test them for you FREE of charge just to be sure your system is optimized.

Actually... the auto bias version is the one with the toggle switch.  Please pm adam warlock your serial number so that he can double check.  If you plug in el34 on a 6550 version it might blow your tube.

Do you mean the kt88/el34 switch?  Yes, there are two switcheses on top of my A-70T.  Currently I am using EH el34 tubes.  So it should be okay to change to other el34 tubes?

Better to test the tubes first before replacing the old ones. Is your tube NOS or Used? Please post or PM the serial number.

Cheers

Manager Ma is a very nice guy... friendly and accommodating even with small distributors like us.  He actually visited the Philippine Hi-Fi show once (3 yrs ago).  It was a good experience since it opened his eyes to the minute size of the Philippine audio industry at least compared to China; nevertheless Cayin is very supportive of the Philippines allowing us to get special models just like the 800MK and wiring all our products 220V 60Hz.

Very humble guy.

hehehe...  well the key points are understandable naman.
1) Cayin is ISO certified and is the biggest hifi producer in China
2) Cayin supply 60+% of all hifi equipment in Japan of which 80% are designed by Cayin
3) Cayin took several years to learn to upgrade their standards to enter Japan market

what else...  they have nice new products?  Those in wood that we will bring in eventually hahaha

All in all its a very good article that gives us confidence and pride in distributing Cayin given that it dominates the Japan market which is one of the strictest and most stringent in the world.

except for the lipsync girl i think China has proven to the world its capability in both innovation and workmanship during the Olympics.  The bird's nest stadium, water cube and the opening and closing ceremonies are the best ever in an Olympic... which even the British admitted they could not match.

Dear Audio Amplified,  I am a proud owner of a Cayin CDT 15A, tube CD player for over a year now. Lately, I have been experiencing a not so annoying disturbance from the player. When the player completed playing the CD, I will push the open button and replaced it with another CD then push the close button, then push the play button. A slow music with static sound (parang plaka na 33 rpm na play sa 45 track na may frying tone) for some seconds until it sounds on the right speed without static na, until matapos ulit.  Just wondering what this means? Malapit na kayang masira yung CD player ko?  Any suggestion on how to monitor this sort of symptoms?

Thanks,
09209609550

finally... i found your thread sir Tyrone & sir Noel ;)

here is my humble share
pleasing experience with Cayin CDT-17a which i acquired less than a year ago brand new and "tweaked" at AudioAmplified Philippines... it beats an entry level turntable hands down... my other turntable w/ a lyra dorian MC hooked on a trichord research phono amp barely beats it in sonic quality... barely... oh, with LPs that were not manufactured well my Cayin 17a CD player played better than my analog source... that is, thru my ears and taste

hence, here i am crazy running after music CDs here & there... hahaha... believe me... my Cayin CDT-17a rocks !!!

OT: here are my latest find...  super inexpensive discoveries that will join my most treasured digital collection... hard to find albums !!!... viola!!... grabbed me multiple copies to share to friends... hehehe





btw, sir Tyrone, sir Noel and their staff are very easy to deal with... very very kind and very approachable...

kindest regards,
fer
