Hee hee. Hi Shafie, yip having a bit of a laugh really. When i posted about my 845s not fairing to badly (or something like that) you replied in regards to your loudspeakers. Do you see the glowing lighthouses in my avatar, they are the 845s i was on about not loudspeakers. 

All meant in good fun my friend so please dont take umbrage  excellent!

 

By the way Shafie. Ive heard your Cayin via some Vienna Accs and Piega loudspeakers. Nice little amp you have there.

Always a fan of good humor...I confused ur 845s for speakers....oh well rolling on the floor laughing Thank you, it was love at first sight and soung with the Cayins...they do sound amazing, beat the socks off anything near the price I tried....they don't get enough press considering how good they are. Well I guess its better, I get to own something different!

Oh also, where did you get to hear the Cayins? I'd love to find a dealer which stocks both Cayin and Viena acoustics, as the amp isn't actually portable by any measure

yeah they look good but the yarland you have mentioned (it's a yarland right??) is looking so promising and the review is great! I want one...is there anywhere else that sells it as the site you mentiones is out of stock? thanks for checking around for some other brands!

RE: valve amplification

I think i saw one yesterday gb. Got my trawling hat on and will get back to you in a bit.

 

Mind you if at all possible try to get some different valve intergrateds for a home dem , even if they are off your radar in the wallet dept. You may not like what you hear, doubt it, but you never know.
