CAYIN
CS-100A
The new dual-mode CS-100A tube amplifier from Cayin is rated at 80 watts per channel in Class AB Ultra Linear mode and 50 watts per channel in triode mode. With a built-in BIAS meter, the integrated amplifier can use either KT88 or EL34 tubes. The entire signal path is handcrafted from the finest point-to-point silver-plated internal cabling, which sounds considerably better than the so-called PCB boards most often seen in general-purpose solid-state amplifiers.
The CS-100A contains a 6SN7 tube for voltage gain, 12AU7EH for phase inversion/voltage gain and 12BH7EH for voltage gain/driver stages and finally with KT88 or EL34, as output tube. The Soft-Start circuit protects the amplifier and extends the life of internal components and tubes.
As standard you also get a high-quality Alps volume control, sound-quality capacitors, carbon film resistors, toroidal transformer for the power supply and wide-bandwidth EI output transformers.

Reviews
Chinese manufacturers have come a long way in recent years, delivering some high-quality products at very affordable pricing. Cayin is no exception rating quite highly in the opinion of many audiophiles.

This is not a review, but more an explanation of the impressions of the different models. Super good video that gives a good insight into the CS models.
