Nice buyer, good communication and polite. I would do business with him again.

@krude indeed the HA300 is a really tough contender as a speaker amp. I am really enjoying it with the Klipsch RP600. More than enough to fill a 10m2 room. I cannot miss any detail in the sound.

Yeah, it is supposed the Bliss was made with Susvaras in mind, is a pure A 12W, etc... but the HA300 beats Bliss by far when driving Susvara

Interested on know what were your thoughts about the Holo DAC's. Did you had the chance to try it with 300B or any tube amp? For me the Bliss is not impressive after tune the HA300 with tubes, specially the Quad CV6, in love with them. The only reasonI kept Bliss is because is really good for...

I just measured it: 90cm/35" for me.

I have been listening the Acme 300B more or less 100h, dont know if will continue the burn in much more. At first, it was a overall improvement and took me a time to know what is this tube about because I am coming from the stock Genalex without the chance of try another top 300B. I am not the...

Your thoughts about the Susvara here and the previous post are the same for me. While it sounds good on almost all genres and it is perfect for orchestra and listening for many hours without fatiguing, it is not perfect specially on the genres you mentioned and it lacks of that thing that will...

As you say, Susvara is the jack of all trades, it makes everything well, but not perfect... ALTHOUGH, there is a thing in which Susvaras are the best with no discusion!! they are made to move an epic orchestra to your home and make you to think you are the conductor :P It is pending task for me...

I have seen Cayin are not in the exhibitors. Hopefully you can try in a system that dont make them too harsh. For me the Caldera is between Atrium and Susvara, they are great complements.

Now you are getting used to trebles, you should give a try to Susvara in HA300., it may surprise you how much you are missing at the top. Is a great complement to ZMF. I love them since I have the Quad CV6, creamy sound, no harshness as expected in the Hifiman line.

Or wait the release of Holo May 2 with digital pre amp option like the S3 :P

I think our problem is the Holo DAC output voltage when using XLR, that make volume steps too big and dont let us to accurately adjust it. If I use RCA and I make usage of the 81 volume steps following andykong instructions of slightly move the volume pot between steps, I can adjust better my...

I have no doubt the sound quality of the Elrogs is one of the most unique and best on all time, but I see more Elrogs failing than WE or PSVane together. When I buy a german product I expect the best in terms of quality both capabilities and durability, but right now I think they are failing in...

Because they know what they are selling is not durable. If you are confident of your product, you will reveal the life span and offer extended warranty, like the 40ish thousand hours and 5 years with WE. We have tubes from the or 40's+ that work perfectly. Before, all was made to be durable, but...

I didnt compare, but if Cayin were a western brand, the HA300 would cost that, I mean, think on the HA300 made handmade in UK, expect 10k+. Chinese have a lot of advantages in manufacturing, the country has no yet insane living cost that most of EU and NA countries that have TOTL and they have...

That seller was the same I told you was selling the 2021 pair... I was about to buy that pair but I was doubtful because I thought: why to order the 2022 pair having the 2021 pair only 200h and not to use 2022 pair? and even I thought the possibility he mixed the 2021 and 2022 pairs... Dont...

I think this amp is already in the league of 10k. Cayin just didn't overprice it.

Acme 300B + 4x22DE4 Jap Black plate, someone said bass?

I ordered Acme 300B, so soon I can give my impressions, I cannot compare with WE300 and ER300 tho. My intention first is to get magical tubey sound. Then in some point I will get the Elrog. Would like also to hear opinions about the Takatsuki and Stradi in the HA300. Waiting someone brave to...

Unless the mighty @Andykong uses his powerful Cayin employee powers to make PSVane to make a limited run of 22DE4 :L3000:

The bad thing is I am sending all 22DE4 to my sister in law home in Texas (GE Coin Base, Ray Jap black plate, Dumont) , so I dont know when I will be able to try them. When I do some piling I will send here through Fedex or something. The rolling train is coming :sunglasses:

What draws my attetion is the rounded plate, bizarre and gorgeus at the same time.

So I check every day every US shop I can find in google, even in the deepest google results and I found a shop they had 4x22DE4 wihout photo named Raytheon. I asked the owner for photo of the tubes and they are the Japanese Black Plate, she said they didn't test but they sell only NOS and they...

Same wih the 22DE4. I bought the Quad matched GE Coin Base, just to have extra and roll. Also I bought the Dumont I saw posted. I never saw talk about that brand here, but it was just 6USD so doesn't hurt.

I think using single-ended and high impedance dynamic like Atrium you can get the warm euphonic sound you want, not excesive, but then you have the tubes. At least, in my ears, that combination sounds like I remember with the Euforia AE, and now with the Quad CV6 GEC the sound is extremely...
