Cayin A-88t Integrated Tube Amp

Excellent like new condition.  This one is a classic.  Stereophile Class-B Rated, The absolute sounds Editors Choice Award for 4 years in a row.   Hand crafted with point-to-point wiring (see photos).  Each unit is hand-numbered and signed 

45 tube watts per channel, with high-current output transformers can drive most any speakers well.  Read the reviews

I’m second owner, no kids, no pets and from a smoke free home.  Works perfect, sounds great.  It comes with upgraded tubes, I have found that the SV6550 power tubes work best for me with better midrange, and thats what is in now, they are the SED “Winged - C” and are no longer made and in high demand. The amp also can take KT88 power tubes for a bigger punch and extended highs.  The amp runs the power tubes at a cool level - so they last a long time.  The preamp tubes have also been upgraded to Tung-Sol.  The preamp tubes have very low hours, the power tube have been in about 2 yrs with a few hours listening on the weekend.  There is a small dent in the chrome on the left side near the rear, that is difficult to photograph and not noticeable.  Aluminum Cayin remote is included.

This thing is 65lbs and built like a tank. 

I have the factory double shipping box and the cage cover to use to enclose the tubes if so desired (not shown in photos).  Packing is very secure. 

Pickup in Brooklyn NY is welcome.
