Cayin A-300P MK2 Type UK – Silver

Description

Please note that all ‘Type UK’ Cayin Amplifiers are built specifically for the 230/240v power grid in the UK.

Finally, a chance to enjoy the legendary sound of 300B tubes without overstretching your budget.

We have used four 300Bs for pure Class A push-pull amplification, while two hand-matched 12AX7EHs and two 12AU7EHs are used for the preamplifier stages.

One 6NS7 is used for rectification duties.

The toroidal power transformer and EI audio transformers are specially manufactured for low magnetic leakage, wide frequency response and low impedance. Like with every Cayin amplifier, this integrated amp is all hand-made and features an all-tube, point to point hard wired design.

A remote control is also included for complete convenience.

The A-300P MK2 Type UK is hand-built with extreme attention to detail, including point-to-point wiring.

Point-to-point was in fact the way that the very best amps used to be manufactured back in the 1950s and ’60s when cost was not the primary objective. Nowadays, most everything contains circuit boards instead, whereas with point-to-point wiring, the amplifier is much more dependable and far higher performing.

The bottom line is that point-to-point wiring sounds better. It’s one of the main reasons why all Cayin amplifiers sound like the classic tube greats from Marantz and McIntosh.

In today’s marketplace, products that feature point-to-point wiring normally are either at a very premium price point, or they feature sub-par workmanship – with Cayin, you simply have the best engineering at the best price.

There are output taps for 4, 8 or 16 ohms. This allows you to fine-tune the sound that you desire. Switching is simple, and listening to the differences is a lot of fun.

The A-300P MK2 also has two different NFB (Negative Feedback) settings :

• 0dB, sweeping soundcsapes for large scenes, large musical dynamic range, increased rhythm and timing
• -3dB, promotes a more intimate experience with warmer voices, strings, and percussion.

The A-300P MK2 also has a unique design which allows for hum/noise adjustments.

Adjust the Bias of the 300B’s easily and quickly with the built in Bias gauge located on the top panel.

Additional design points :

• A full-function aluminium infrared remote control.
• Power-on delay function (approximately 30 seconds), protects and extends life of the amp and valves.
• Power-down and memory function, remembers the last settings used.

There is also removable valve cage included at no extra charge. The cage snaps into place simply, so that you can take it on and off with no problem. Keep it on if you wish to add the perfect protection for your tubes, or take it off to show what real, heavy-duty, beautifully engineered classic tube gear looks like. Turn off the lights sit back and indulge………..
