The press was impressed by that smart combination of traditional values and traditional craftsmanship. Renowned German reviewer Hannes Maier remarked in his testreport in “stereoplay 5/08”, that the whole construction is well designed from the gold plated inputs through the circuit layout to the solid copper speaker terminals. A class of it’s own is the remote made of aluminium with fine wooden side panels. It not only controls the amplifier, but also the CD-Player SP-CD300. CD-Player Cayin SP-CD300: Wood’n Chips
The SP-CD300 matches the style of the integrated amplifier SP-10A and has balanced XLR-inputs for safe signal transmission. If you prefer the RCA connection, the transformers of the CD-Player will isolate the circuit against ground noise. For controlling the whole SP Series with one remote, you can use the system controller – a piece of metal with wooden side panels that pleases the eye. The sound of the SP-CD300 is really like you would expect it from a traditional valve component: It’s warm, rich and smooth like a good vintage vine. Pre Amplifier Cayin SP-30S: Magic Tube

There
are lots of retro Hi-Fi components today. But this
one is different. Instead of only copying the design
of the 60ties and 70ties, the SP-10A also sounds
like amplifiers used to sound at that time: rich,
smooth and warm. Small wonder, it still uses the
same basic technology with four 6L6 power valves
in the output stage.
This
CD-Player blends the latest digital technology with
a traditional valve output stage. Burr Brown manufactures
the D/A converters of the type 1792 which are known
for fine resolution. The famous German Hi-Fi reviewer
Hannes Maier from “stereoplay” expressed his admiration
about the sophisticated construction of the Cayin
SP-CD300. It even has a kind of siren sound preventing
children from playing around with the nice rocker
switches.
Besides
using the integrated amplifier SP-10A that was praised
by the press, you can build up a more flexible system
with the separate pre amplifier Cayin SP-30S. So
you keep all benefits of the traditional style in
sound and design, but can drive more critical speakers
with more power than the main amp Cayin SP-40M is
capable. The pre amp can be controlled with the
very attractive system remote made of aluminium
and wood to reflect the design of the whole SP range.
The sound is as classical as the retro look – a
well-balanced reminiscence to the golden age of
Hi-Fi.
This
power amp matches the pre amplifier Cayin SP-30S
from the concept and design. If you think you need
more power or flexibility than our integrated amp
can provide, you should have a close look at that
one: it boosts 40 watts x 2, which is more than
sufficient to drive most speakers. This power output
is archived by a larger mains transformer and a
combination of four KT88-EH, one 12AX7 and two 12AU7
valves. The whole design is simple, but straight:
the 20-kilo component is available with different
wooden cabinets accompanied by a heavy aluminium
front. The sound reflects the classical appearance
of the SP series and reminds of a time when valve
components weren’t analytical at all.
