Yaqin MC-10T integrated tube stereo amp review - How to achieve good sound with cheap gear series

Pronounced "Yachin" I'm told. Regardless, great review.

Hi Thomas. I have a mc10 and want to replace it for a $1000 Cayin mt45 mk3 (no Bluetooth model with kt88 tubes). This a new Cayin model. I know you reviewed the $2000 cs55 but what do you think about that? Thanks

new to this. Was thinking about doing an amp like this with my deftech bp8040st with 2 sealed powered 12's, the deftechs have powered subs, would something like this pair with a system like this?

My Mc 10t has noise how can I fit it?

Thanks for your reviews Thomas!!! just a little and fast question for you. I'm deciding right now between Yaqin MC-10t and the Cayin MT 34L.. what is your recommendation?

I spent 4 hours this morning early listening to my tube amp before I came into work. You encouraged me to buy it....and it's fantastic. Thought of you...Love this video.

My system consists of a Yaqin MC-10T with Tung-Sol tubes,Pioneer HPM-40 speakers(later version)Ipod classic 5th generation with Wolfson DAC,Ipod dock and BSR model EQ-3000.I couldn't be happier.Paul Simons greatest hits has great separation and soundstage,love it.

I use mine with quads

I have one. It's very nice

How about throwing a sub into the mix?

Hi, i just want to share my experience with the Yaqin, i have mogami interconnects, and red dawn nordost speaker cables connected to my 705s Bowers and Wilkens speakers and it sounds amazing. Very nice sound stage, clarity, great separation and enough bass, and perhaps that due to placement of my speakers. Mid are liquid when it comes to vocals. Making sure that the tubes are biased is important as well. Im a jazz man for the most part, and it delivers. For the price, you get enough.

wanted to know the ATI power amp model number

Hey Thomas, what are the speakers underneath the A25? Pioneer?

Try this amplifier with Klipsch rp-600m 👌 There are high efficient speakers 🤗

Beware of chinese tube sockets ( noval !!!! )......do no tube rolling .....At your risk !
Saw to much problems with those.....those sockets are rubbish.

Hi Thom, compare this Yaqin with Cayin MT-35, which one would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance

Thomas , the speaker you spoke about and shown with the AMT tweeter is not Infinity, it's a ESS PS 9. I know because it was the first set of speakers I ever bought way back in 1976. Really a great little speaker. ESS is still in business. Thank you for all the great or the videos.

Dynaco a25's are never noted for air, as I can remember from use in 1970. They are good in the mid and bass however. But still slow compared to the cheap AE aegis one from 2000, when with tubes. I get electrostatic-like speed and air with them using chord oddysey cable and furukawa silver interconnects.

Of course it'd be better than Yamaha. Even the budget nobsound is better. Yamaha' s signature is a slightly veiled sound, slow and lacking musical texture. Yamaha is for those enthralled by the name and looks, not the sound. Similarly, Mac
