Tube rolling in Cayin A-88T

Lowrider, How much time do you have on the amp? Break in of tubes as well as the amp itself is quite important. If you have less than 100 hours on a new tube amp I'd reserve judgment. Ultimately though you might roll in some warmer power tubes (I like SED KT88's) and/or some NOS small tubes.

"harsh compared to TEAC". Are you refering to TEAC that japanese c**p that came out in the 70's?
Spam. The Cayin needs zero breakin time btw Newbee.

Considering you do not own one, and have not experienced listening to one in the first several hundred hours, on what do you base this statement? A review? Comments from other owners made in threads. A representative of Cayin?

Bartockfan,

Spam? Reconsider your musings about Tyler speakers and the Cayin Amps. Frankly, that IMHO, is SPAM. You have no first hand knowledge of either yet you ponder on, an on, and on to the benefit of no one except yourself by seeing your thoughts in print!

Sorry, but I'll spare you the dubvious benefit of advise or comments in the future. :-(

My stock power tubes are EH6550. I have been using GEC KT88, much better sonically. You should replace the stock input tubes, which will result in big improvement. Syl 6sn7w will shine from top to bottom. And RCA 5891 is a good match. The final result is the brilliant sonic house blowing up lots of much more expensive amps. I will be trying the GEC copy version of the Chinese KT88 very soon.
