Question: Hi. Can you tell me shipping time to NYC?
Document: I am new to the tube audio community and I know there are a lot of audiophile grade amps available that are well over my price range, but I believe this is a good quality, bang-for-the-buck tube amp for myself now. I received this unit in 7 days. (not bad shipping time wise from Hong-Kong) I usually base my purchasing decisions on where products are made, however I will take back how I felt about buying some China built products as far as this purchase goes.My first impression was the protection of shipped contents.
The unit was still operating okay with the originals, however I wanted to see if I could tell any difference in audio. If anything, maybe a little more bottom end, or bass. - But that might have changed due to the JJ "long plate" version preamp tubes? Either way I am still happy with the performance and I will keep the original tubes as backup.
The build quality seems very durable.I had to wait 2 weeks before this shipped. I was initially put off by this, but I am very glad I waited. If you are considering one of the gemtune units, do yourself a favor and pick this up instead. The build quality is much higher, and the finish is more attractive. I am very happy with this purchase.Will someone tell you another amp is better? Yeah probably. I firmly believe in diminishing returns in cost to sound quality. There is probably some perceptible difference in quality, but not for the money I am certain.
I was not paid to write this review or indorse the product, so far I am just impressed. I am one that likes to pull back the curtain to meet the wizard at times. I just thought I would relay some of my thoughts about this on here as a novice user, in hopes it might help someone else decide.I will update this review after some time of operation.Update: 6/22/14I haven't kept up with the hours, but I swapped the original supplied Chinese tubes with the JJ set that I had ordered.
Huge Japanese transformers, great final tubes, high-end components, and very well packed from the vendor, if you like vacuum vs. silicon, look no more, this is the one! An old buddy is a Macintosh guy from way back in the 70's and is amazed at the sound, image, low distortion, dynamics and sound field that this unit projects. Superior warmth when compared to my Yamaha natural sound power stage MOSFET solid state amplifier ..and super signal/noise ratio -- always a pleasure to go back in time to the tested and trued vacuum tube state.
Awesome value, excellent quality, and faultless sound reproduction, this integrated tube amp has plenty of power and perfect for 2  CH audio stereo music. The sound of this stereo amp is better than any commercially available main-line brand stereo available in retail stores, which by their digital nature sound tinny, and tend to lack any warmth even with all the sound modeling circuits that are built into these stereos. To compare the Yaqin with high end audiophile audio equipment costing few thousands more,  I found the sound stage on this amp equivalent as the hi end stuff, noting that the Yaqin is just a tad brighter, but still warm, versus then the coveted warmer sound from audiophile stereos.
With tube amps considered an entry level tube amps costing 3x more. This amp beats those tube amps hands down.No one should hear any difference unless you are familiar with the sound of high end stuff.The Yaqin demands a good set of speakers to produce its full music reproduction potential.I have an inexpensive (~$ 600) high efficency floor standing reference speakers and considering a replacement with a high quality speakers in the $1200-$1500 range. I play music through iTunes on my Mac laptop, and a Cambridge D/A converter providing a 192 or better sampling rate.
Where do I start? This is wonderful amp. My opinion is that it puts many solid state amps to shame for a fraction of the cost. I would describe the sound, but I've rolled the tubes a bit and you can get it to sound anyway you want. For anyone that doesn't know what tube rolling is, it just means trying different brands tubes. In any case, with mine, the soundstage is deep and wide, extending beyond the physical location of my speakers. Images are very well formed and occupy their own space in the soundstage and the sound is dynamic.
This thing will rock your world. On the down side, tubes have a lifespan and need to be changed occasionally, that's any tube amp. Also the power tubes need biasing every so often.I realize that some people are reluctant to buy a Chinese amp, but I did, and have no regrets. In fact, I've been down the upgrade path (expensive) before, and I just don't think I can do better than this amp without spending huge sums of money. I love this thing!Anyway, that's my opinion.
These are all things that people want in a good amp. As for clarity, depending on the recording, I can hear the little smack of the lips when the singer opens their mouth to begin singing, that's not to shabby.This unit is heavy because it uses large transformers (a good thing). It seems very well made and looks expensive, if that matters to you. The only thing I would change are the knobs. It would be nice if they were bigger and less slippery. The power meter is a nice touch.
