I was doing some research into Cayin, another Chinese company tied in with a European (German in this case) design team. Originally Cayin produced electronics for military use, which probably goes some way to defining the higher manufacturing quality employed in their products.

I suppose we should also consider that 5 years ago, we probably wouldnt even be talking about Chinese audio equipment as back then it was almost unheard of and what was available was of very poor quality and built as cheaply as possible. In the intervening years thay have realised that quality is a better selling point than low cost alone and a number of manufacturers are trying very hard to bring their products up to the level expected by customers in the western world. I think we are very likely to see "high end" products with an Asian origin becoming a lot more common place before too long.

Now this looks interesting. :)
Shame it "suffers" with the 230V transformer syndrome.

Nice to see a manufacturer who is prepared to show the circuit diagrams of their amps.
They also have a number of interesting looking kits as well.
very nice looking KT66 SET, very simply built by the looks of it
Yes,looks good.
looks good!
very simple design with switchable triode/tetrode connection for the output stage too!:)
anthony,TD...
Looking at the diagram it appears to have tappings for 220,230 and 240v.If so,it would be fine for UK use.
Well spotted. I'm gonna drop them an e-mail this evening when I get home. :)
Good stuff Andy.Let us know if you get one.Not heard a KT66 in triode,but meant to be very good by al accounts,quite 45 ish.
Let us know the price too if you don't mind.
