Description
The State-of-the-Art Cayin CS-55A Tube Integrated Amp boasts 38 watts per channel, a USB DAC, Phono , Front Headphone Output and a Sweet, Sweet Sound!
This beautifully crafted hand made amp is designed to deliver the wonderful sound of the original classic Marantz amps with features and build quality that would not have been dreamed of in the 1960's or 1970's. Although many 'improvements' have happened to HiFi equipment, many purists still believe that Simple is Better. Classic, simple design of amplifiers, with the improvement that better capacitors and better connectors, and even creature comforts like Remote Control, will reproduce your music in an easier to listen to, less fatiguing way.
The Cayin CS-55A Tube Integrated Amp is a state-of-the-art machine which boasts 38 watts per channel (40 watts by using four KT88 tubes!) in Class AB ultra-linear push pull amplification. The CS-55A consists of four pairs of input: one Phono, one USB port, and two line inputs giving a wide range of options for any listener.
