Hi and welcome.How do you find the 845's?

Hello Ali,

it´s my first pair of 845 amp´s
and before i bougth them i god told by "experiend" hifi people, that the 845 was a rough sounding tube, and that i would miss the sweet tone of the 300b´s that i had before,
but in my opnion they have a nice sound, not at all rough, but controlled and with excellent bass , but - it all depends on witch tube brands you have installed - i use Chinese Shuguang 845c metal plates and TJ Full Music 300B ( mesh plate , keramic base and gold pins) Sylvania vt229, and raytheon 6sn7, and it works quite well togther,

But! im in the process of selling the cayin 9084d amps now, course i will try to build an amp myself ( a kit solloution :-))

Yes different valves give different sounds.I used to have a Mr Liang 845,which with a few tweaks was a very good amp.
