Hi everyone for sale is my Ming Da Dynasty Cadenza bought direct from Mark at Ming Da in February 2018.

It is in absolutely great condition and has recently had the power amp upgrade added by Mark so has a switch on the top plate for Integrated/Power Amp and Input D is now the Power Amp input (marked “P” now) so bypasses the volume control and switching.

It has Ultralinear/Triode mode and standby switches on one side and has a soft start facility that operates in both Integrated and Power Amp modes.

Billet Aluminium remote control included, controls Volume/Mute.

I have added over £100 of Tung-Sol input valves but the originals will be included too.

Jensen Paper in Oil and Audyn Reference caps are standard.

Power valves are 4 x KT90
Input/Phase splitters are 6SN7 and 6SL7

Specifications are (see https://www.mingda.co.uk/dynasty-cadenza.html):
Output Power - Ultra linear 70 Watts per Channel
Output Power – Triode 40 Watts per channel
Frequency response 18Hz-45kHz±1dB
S to N ratio ≤91dB
Distortion ≤1% at full power
Input Impedance 100KΩ
Input sensitivity: 350mV
Power input 230Vac

Pictures (I will take another when it’s darker too so you can see the valves glowing):

I have the original box and will post at cost but would much rather prefer collection (when appropriate from Lincolnshire) as it’s ridiculously heavy and also operation can be confirmed.

Looking for £1200 ono please.

Hi Martin,
Your link to Ming Da isn't working so here's another go. https://www.mingda.co.uk/dynasty-cadenza.html

Ming Da's are fabulous amps and Mark is a great guy who really knows his stuff. I wish I needed an amp!

Thanks for that, I'd not realised I hadn't left a space before the bracket. Also, agreed Mark is an absolute gent to deal with.

I wouldn’t say so not really, it’s certainly not brash or bright that’s for sure.
