Continuing my Cayin journey has been a lot of fun. Having really enjoyed the C9 and N7 combo, I decided to try this tube amp for desktop listening into my Meze Empyrean. I can line out from my N7 or use the N7 as a transport to my Emm labs dac. Both sound great.
The HA-6a had been nothing short of a musical revelation. The mid range and voices are haunting phantoms, the layering and soundstage is deep and musical, and when called upon the music can slam. This has converted me to tubes as they can produce a lifelike sound that is beautiful and emotional.
I also really appreciate the tube configuration and ease of tube rolling. I’ve already tried the Mullard reissue 12au7 with the GL KT88 and the sound is fabulous. This is the tip of the ice berg in terms of customizing the sound.
Super high quality build and Musicteck’s service is once again fantastic.
