| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Djbargelt, the integrated amp in question with the alleged bogus tube rectification is the Cayin A70T. It is discussed in this thread.Kijanki, it makes absolutely no sense that a company like Lamm would install a cover over a torroid simply for lo... | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Djbargelt, thanks for the clarification about the Cambridge CD player. Regarding the fake tube in the Chinese integrated amp, this was recently discussed within the last three weeks. It was not a Luxman. It was a Chinese integrated amplifier. If I... | |
