One amazing sounding and Gently used Cayin CS-88a tube amplifier with KT-88 power tubes. I purchased this tube amp 9 months ago to pair with my Klipsch Heresy IV speakers. The amp only has approximately 40 to 50 hrs max on it. This model is impossible to find in stock and retails for over $3500 new. The amp sounds absolutely amazing! No issues at all with the unit and I have since moved to a new tube amplifier. The factory tubes that it shipped with are brand new and were only used once when I unpacked it as I immediately upgraded it to Gold Lion KT-88 tubes and NOS preamp tubes. I will include the Gold Lion tubes as well for an additional $200, just let me know when purchasing and I will set something up with you to include the Gold Lion KT-88s as well. It does include the brand new factory tubes, manual, tube cage, power cord and remote. The original box was discarded by my wife, but I will ship it in the same fashion that I received it, in a well packed double box. Id rather this be a local sale and pickup because of the weight Or Buyer pays shipping as it weighs approximately 65 lbs total. I am located in Northern Pennsylvania in the Poconos. Happy Bidding! The following is more detail & information from the Manufacturer... Cayin has been dedicated to great sound since 1993, and theCS-88A delivers a step up in audio performance.This integrated tube amplifier features a purist design withmusicality,headroom, and stability. CS88A features two 6SL7 and two 6SN7 tubes in the preamp stage, along withfour KT88 tubes for AB1 push-pull amplification. Youll enjoyspacious soundstage, great midrange, breathtaking vocals, and punchy power, creating a system that sings when paired with the right speakers. CS-88A also allows theoutput stage to be instantly switched between Triode and Ultralinear modes to customize the sound.The difference between these two modes is the number of electrodes used by the tube. Triode:only 3 electrodes are used, for transparent and nuanced sound ideal for jazz, classical, and more Ultralinear:the tube works at higher power, for bolder sound that excites with pop, rock, and more CS-88A is designed with pure simplicity in terms of inputs. It includes abeautifully designed and implemented MM phono input, along with2 line inputs for analogue sources and 1 preamp-in that allows the CS-88A to be used as a power amplifier. The build quality is hefty, weighing62 lbs,thanks to carefully considered parts inside and out. A specially designed toroidal transformer can be found in the power supply for more dynamic headroom and load stability, while broadband output transformers deliver even more fine detail from your music. The CS-88A features a fully anodized aluminum front in your choice of black or silver, a vented chassis with a gorgeous finish, hand-made point-to-point wiring, and a 30 second soft-start circuit to enhance the life of the toroidal power transformer and output transformers.
