Cayin CS-100A

from €3,890.00

The new dual-mode Cayin Audio CS-100A tube amplifier has a power of 80 watts per channel in class AB Ultra-linear mode. And 50 watts per channel in triode mode. With a built-in bias meter. The integrated amplifier can use both KT-88 and EL family tubes and uses silver internal wiring.

The CS-100A contains a 6SN7 tube for voltage amplification, 12AU7EH for phase inversion/voltage amplification and 12BH7EH for voltage reinforcement and driver steps, with KT-88 or EL-34 output tubes. Soft-Start circuits protect the amplifier and extend the life of internal components and tubes. A high-quality Alps volume control, audio-quality capacitors, carbon film resistors, a power supply core transformer, and wide-band EI output transformers are all standard.

This unique design from Cayin gives you one of the most musical amplifiers of its kind near this price range. Time and time again, this amplifier beats many, much more expensive amplifiers – and rightly so.
The richly earned 'Golden Ear Award' gives those who have not heard this amplifier a clear indication of his musical ability!

CS-100A

This design uses either the KT-88 tube or eight EL34 tubes in the output stairs, allowing the tubes to work comfortably within their power range. The result is an effortless delivery of a seductive presentation, which keeps the listener coming back for more!

The supporting work is done by coordinated sets of 6SN7, 12AU7EH and 12BH7EH.

Very high-quality Alpine potentiometers are used. Combined with precision film resistors and ceramic bases plus special audio capacitors, the Cayin CS-100A pushes the limits of what is achievable for this price.

Cayin also understands the enormous importance of high-quality power supplies, and the heavy/custom-made toroidal transformer adds the perfect power to this world-class amplifier.

Cayin also manufactures the system remote control completely in-house, sticking to their ethos of “Applying the ultimate quality at every stage”.
