Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

[nimorose]

Did you try to turn on the C9 when not plugged into AC?

Yes.
Nothing happens, not even a battery indicator

It's apparently defected. I have contacted musicteck. Will update here.

I'm truly surprised it's still available... I'd think just not enough people know how good the C9 is, especially for full-sized HPs

Exactly !!! And the ability to have 4 different tastes of technologies in one !!! Not easy to outperform C9 with a good source like A02 or Dx300/12

I think we need to realize that we are a small segment of a small segment in the audio world. For $500 or less, you can get a spectacular desktop amp.

That said, I just bought a DX300 and Amp 12 to pair with my C9. I am expecting something magical to occur. Now if they only sold those Van Nuys cases in the USA.

That case actually do look good!!! You can also have the C9 with cooling fins and it will still work to cool down the C9 too!!
While on the move, may want to just do SS class AB to minimize heat being generated as well

I used the Tenso forwarding service, and is expecting the package next week. Pretty straight forward to Dela with Tenso as they do communicate in English.

I can't figure out what to do. I go to the Van Nuys site and there is no product page and shopping cart function. This is way too hard. If they aren't going to make an effort for me to shop, I'm going to pass.

If you are using Android phone, try to turn on the Google translate, and it translates all Japanese to English...
