Mine is paired with clone 1sc and the source is my PSP. Minsan Ipod pag may nahihiram.  Never had any complaints. Smooth delivery and excellent imaging.;D

i don't think it will fit.... For me,  Bose spkrs are for SS only and  not designed for tubes amp... but if you think na ok naman para sa 'yo then go for it.. much better if you'll bring your spkrs when auditioning this amp..

Bro, it ung nakalagay "Your speaker system is designed for use with receivers or amplifiers rated from 10 to 200 watts per channel with 4 to 8 ohm impedance." pasenya di ko talaga alam. newbie lang ako.
Please suggest kung anong compatible sakura amplifier na pwede. thanks.

Hi Bro, tutunog naman yung speakers mo sa sakura and im definite na kayang pakantahin ng sakura av-200 yung bose speakers mo, but the thing is, you have to listen first to the sounds they will produce, if it will fit enough for your taste then that's it, enjoy your setup and enjoy the Music ;)

As for bro brian mico's advice, its true that speaker's impedance is very important, the higher it's rating, the easier for your amp to drive them, in other words... hindi hirap yung ampli for your speakers :)

Im also a user of Sakura Av-200 and it has been my main audio setup for my room since i bought it, mga 8mos na rin and it never failed to amuse me, it really is a bang for a buck Tube amp ;)

BTW, im also using a very old bookshelf speakers, Onkyo Liverpool D-200II (150wpc, 89db) and a Samsung HD-748 DVD player (as CD player), and their combination is awesome for my taste :)

a leach amp can stand on its own but that is another story....

wow yun naman pala haha

newbie here
plan ko kasing gumawa ng leach amp, eh since mapapagastos ako sa transformer, case at big capacitors balak ko sanang gamitin nalang etong sakura at yung preamp niya.

ano po kayang specs ng powersupply? kakayanin kaya yung preamp + amp, or leach amp lang ang kaya niya?

thanks

Hi! Would anyone know of someone who can make tweaks to this amp? I have a stock version of this amp but after hearing a tweaked version, I feel I need to have my amp tweaked also.  I inquired with diy_master but he doesn't have available spare parts right now.  Would you know who else tweaks these amps?  Thanks!

this just me>

imo, signal path capacitors palitan mo ng mundorf mcap o supreme. usual value nyan 0.22uf or 0.47uf. tas papalitan mo sa marunong maghinang. pwede rin audiophiler capacitor at eleshop ronquillo quiapo. sayang wala na ako spare siemens oil caps. 100pesos each lang.

pwede rin palitan mo ng nichicon yung filter caps (malapit sa power supply). wag mo na gastusan yung ibang caps. baka mas malaki pa sa halaga ng unit ang gastusin mo. bili ka na lang kay mang gerry ng 6dj8/6922 preamp tubes. (i believe thats the equivalent of the chinese preamp tubes of your amp)

I finished my final tweak in Sakura Hybrid Tube Amp.  I said final because, this is the best tweak I've ever heard.  Every details from the music played from the cdp were unveiled from this simple but powerful modification.  The ideas came from Mel and the guts of doing the experiment in Sakura was by myself.  The You Tube video is just to give an idea on the improvement.  However, the actual listening session is better sounding, of course.

ayos!

magkano inabot lahat for the tweak?

parang mas tumaba at kalmado ang tunog pero mas ok sana kung same music ang ginamit sa lahat ng test  ;)
