Cayin HA-6A
Powerful tube amplifier that comes with 2 sets of tubes to change the sound: to either find the perfect sound for you, or to have 2 amplifiers in one and change from time to time depending on your mood.
Cayin HA-6A
Versatile high-end tube headphone amplifier (EL34 / KT88 compatible)
A powerful, adaptable high-end tube headphone amplifier built around EL34 tubes – also compatible with KT88 tubes.
- Powerful and highly adaptable high-end headphone amplifier.
- Fine-tune the sound by swapping the included EL34 tubes for KT88 (KT88 not included) and by choosing Triode or Ultralinear mode.
- Excellent impedance matching for a wide range of headphones.
- Hand-wired audio circuitry.
- Tube rectification for the power supply.
- Carefully selected output transformers for uncompromising balanced output quality with impressive spaciousness, channel separation, and dynamics.
- Purist power management: a multi-stage, separate voltage amplification power supply with independent regulation minimizes ripple caused by power disturbances, ensuring a smooth, musical presentation free from grain and harshness.
- High-precision audio potentiometer with 24-step control using pair-matched resistors.
- Internal wiring using silver-plated audio cables with excellent shielding to prevent interference.
Conclusion
The Cayin HA-6A proves to be an excellent headphone amplifier built entirely around tube technology and offering outstanding versatility. Thanks to its three-step impedance selector, it can drive headphones from 6 to 600 ohms – essentially almost every model on the market.
