Buying notes
KT88 push-pull tube integrated from Cayin of China. Check tube complement condition; KT88s have a service life and should be checked. The auto-bias circuit should be verified. Both channels at matched volume. Cayin build quality is good; prices are significantly below equivalent Western tube amplifiers.
