Sebastian Never got a package from Plussound Will assume tour is winding down and never made it my way That is OK, just want to make sure something was sent but lost in transit Please confirm nothing was sent Understand between CanJam in the orient and HKA you all have been busy

Betula How true it is what you wrote When I first started looking to get back into a desktop amp, Luckily it was at and I was able to at Can Jam walk around with my own headphones and listen to different amps, and the affect just changing the amp will create. Showcases at Can Jam like ZMF where...

Betula Very nicely written summary And yes agree 100% that rotating in different 6V6 tubes will change the soundstage, (including L to R, and depth) Some 6V6's are warmer, others as Betula noted clearer, and my 2 cents with the impression of enhanced soundstage. These tubes could be its just...

Djentbat Yes you will get the most change by rolling the preamp tubes (12AU7 or E80cc) But changing out the power tubes will tune/fine tune the sound and will affect the changes to the Preamp tubes. From the stock tubes, any good NOS tube you will hear a change pretty instantly Some 6V6 will...

For those thinking about jumping into the E80cc tubes. Been reading and on this forum for some time now, and many here helped me on my journey so want to give back to those just joining now and starting. So...here goes what I've found and what moved me to not only buy the HA-3A but eventually...

Betula I've wondered the same thing at the exact opposite approach, seeing that the Bendix Eclipse-Pioneer 6V6-GTY's are half or less than the 5992's They do use some similar components internally, but there are still some differences internally from the research I've found, but they are close...

Betula Couldn't agree with you more! When I do switch out my Mazda 6V6G's for the 5992, its always so entertaining to see the 5992's blue glow with the E80cc's My 5992's with the E80cc's at night, lights off, on the HA-3A (no enhancements, just straight off the phones camera) Very Entertaining...

Keko123 Congrats on your purchase! You could not go wrong either way. Enjoy your amp!

Thanks Betula for your thoughts here! I was thinking of you when I responded to Keko123, and your posts on the HA-3A forum regarding EDM music, but did not want to quote you before reaching out first. Keko123, there you go! You can use Betula's comments with confidence. I've enjoyed his...

Keko123 It will be you choice, but the HA-3A does great with Classic rock, and while I don't particularly listen to EDM, many of the contributors on the HA-3A forum do, and say it is really nice to listen to on the HA-3A. Will say its all about the tubes you choose to get MAXIMUM enjoyment...

Ichos Your words while short and sweet speak volumes coming from you! Highly respect your opinion, and love what you say and post in other forums. Thanks for weighing in, as mentioned above I'm looking at the HA-2A for a family member

Keko123 I've heard the HA-2A but not for an extended session, but did like its sound I own the HA-3A, and listen to it a LOT. IMO both are great amps. While the 2 are very close in costs, I think Cayin is separating the 2 from each other by stating the following: HA-2A is an Ultralinear Amp...

Apolgies up front, this is a long post It's been about a month and half since I received in, what is one of the first IDAP-8's from Musicteck, and about a month since I put an initial post above. As promised there putting up my thoughts on the IDAP-8 Thanks to Andrew for all of the assistance in...

Like PeacockObscure I was also able to upgrade without issues Nice new touch (and same on other Cayin Products this FW update go around), after update and required reboot, a nice confirmation screen of the upgrade pops up, confirming NewFW is running and states exact version. Appreciate this...

Thank You Eric! Purchased!
