Litt mer info ifra Cayin.
Background:
In 2018 Cayin has developed its 25th Anniversary model A-845PRO which got great
welcome and feedback from the market from its extreme excellent sound
performance to its elegant cosmetic design. With the sucess of the model we have
been thinking to expand the range and have a new reference line of products for
Cayin. Thanks to Tungsol and Mike from New Sensor because they just annouced
KT70 new flagship tube which give us a chance to realize our thoughts. That is how
Soul 170I starts.
Product Description:
Soul 170I is designed on basis of Tungsol KT170 Power Tube. It outputs 130 watts
Power in Ultralinear Mode or 75 wats power in Triode Mode per channel. Designed
in Class AB Push-Pull Soul 170I takes two pieces of powerfull KT170 tube per channel.
All tube Integrated with 22DE4 Tube Rectifier for Power supply, ECC83S voltage
amplification stage, 6SN7 driver stage, and KT170 output tubes.
Following the design concept of Cayin Soul 170I offers two operation modes: Triode
and Ultralinear. As you can see from above for these two different modes the output
power are different. However it is not more than that. Change the output mode you
will get a different sound signature instantly. Triode Mode is Tendering, Rich in
Harmony, Smooth and Soft. Ideal for Vocal and Instrumental Music. Ultralinear Mode
has power and extension. Clean with energy. Ideal for music has punch and dynamic
and at such mode it offers excellent control ability.
Three pairs of line inputs, one pair of Balance Input and one pair of Pre-In are located
on the rear panel of the amplifier. In our Soul 170I not only the Single Ended RCA
inputs provided but also the XLR Balance Input.
Different from other inputs Pre-In offers you a possibility to connect to some other
Preamplifier so that you can the Soul 170I as a power amplifier.
One pair of Sub Output is located on the rear so that if you want to get more Bass
you can use the interconnector to connect with your Subwoofer system.
Speaker terminals for 4 and 8 ohm speakers are located on the rear panel of the
Amplifier.
User bias controls for KT170 Power Tubes have been used for bias adjustment and
one meter has been added to the top plate to allow you to monitor bias with ease.
Anodized aluminum front, fully vented chassis with excellent gorgeous finish, and
wood side panels give you a product of art in front of your eyes.
Soul 170I, same as other products from Cayin emplys Point to Point wiring. The
entire circuitry including signal path is painstakingly hand wired with heavy-gauge
cable by craftsman.
Soft-start circuit and High Voltage Delay to protect the amplifier for extended life of
sensitive components.
High Voltage Fuses are used in the amplifier for protection which are located on the
top plate close to the Power tubes. In case there were failure of tubes the Fuse will
react first that you can know easily where the issue is.
Premium Parts: Alps volume control, Porcelain Tube Sockets, Audio grade capacitors
and carbon film resistors, Toroid transformer for power supply, Wide bandwidth EI
output transformer, etc.
Output transformers are the most important part of any tube amp. They determine
how low the bass will reach and how high the top end goes. Cayin output
transformers are custom-designed, wound in-house, and massive. Enable
compliciated multi-layer winding and multiple impedance output to match with
different needs. Carefully matched output will sound Blanced, natural and realistic
across the complete audio spectrum.
Custom designed Toroid Power transformer with strong power production and
extreme low hum level provides a reliable performance and extradonary control.
Standard with remote control, Soul 170I can memorize last operation of the unit
once switched off.
