@Andy Kong, is the Gold Lion 12AU7s still the top pick for tube rolling ? Also, has anyone tried the PSVANE 12AU7 with the HA1A ?
Yes: see below : go for a matched pair to prevent channel imbalance.Hello, is this the correct input tubes for cayin ha-1a mk2? Replacement for the 12au7 tubes? Thanks
i using motorla ecc82 and goldlion el84 now. Very happy.I bought a used HA-1A MKII (CS-1H here in Germany) and listened today with my RME ADI-2 DAC, with the Cayin on stock tubes. So far it sounds good, but the treble is a bit too harsh/sharp for me, which is a bit fatiguing for my ears.
Would the tube upgrade to the Gold Lion 12AU7 and the Gold Lion EL84 bring a smoother treble or what tubes would be suggested for a smoother treble?

Hey all you HA-1A MK2 owners: A friendly reminder that this amp has preamp outputs that sound fabulous. In addition to headphone usage, I'm running the Cayin's preamp outputs to a 25 wpc power amp to Harbeth P3ERS speakers in a nearfield setup... and the sound is to-die-for good. I mean, HOLY **** good.
If you have a power amp and speakers (or powered speakers) around, you owe it to yourself to at least try out the Cayin's preamp outputs.

How can I identify the MkII version vs the original? whats the difference between them? ist the cs-1a the same as the ha-1a mkII?

I have just purchased the HA 1 mk 2 and I am getting lots of noise on all but lowest impedance (using 420 Ohm ADX 5000)
Is this normal?

Hi,Hi andy
No other headphones.
Why is there so much noise and hissing?
