Spark / Cayin 800 specifications

Brand : Cayin

With four Russian 829B power amplifiers each, the power amplifiers have an unusual tube configuration, which makes it possible to realize an unusual 100 watts of power per channel for a tube amplifier. These power amplifiers really drive everyone, even impedance-critical speakers and still deliver the unique fascination of really high-end tube sound.

General data

The power amplifiers ran for some time in comparison with my Jeff Rowland 9tihc mono power amplifiers (65.000 Euro). It took me a long time to decide to sell the Cayin again and keep the Jeff Rowland . As far as the musicality, voice reproduction and harmony of the music are concerned, this tube is clearly superior to my transistors.

Fortunately, replacement is no problem with these tubes, as so much has been produced from this extremely reliable military tube that it should not be a problem to find NOS tubes, should this become necessary.
