The coupling capacitors have been replaced with far better NOS K42Y-2.
Cayin A-88T valve integrated tube amp.
Shuguang KT88-Z Black Treasure bought from Banzai Music GmbH for 302 euro on the 23.02.2022, have had very little use since, they are only broken in.
Collection Killarney. Testing for serious buyers only. Bias just checked and set by qualified technician, along with all electrolytic capacitors tested. Fully working and available until removed. Sounds very good with lots of power. Condition is 10 out of 10.
Other tubes are NOS Russian 6H8C. User manual and remote included. Can deliver to Ballincollig. This weights 25kg's a serious amplifier, No rush to sell as I'm using it still. Note this has point to point wiring, with high quality components. German design, built in China. Box of spare valve/ tubes included(including 4 good EH kt-88 power tubes and some NOS pre tubes). This amp is very easy to mod or service since it's point to point wiring. The bias trim pots are on small PCB,s. This amplifier also has a turn on delay to leave your valves warm up...first switching on the heater coils before engaging your speakers, the relay is not part of the signal path, which is good.
