About the M608
The Canary Audio M608 integrated amplifier is a rebirth of the original CA-608, featuring four EL34 output tubes in a modified circuitry operating under ultra-linear mode. It combines power amplifier and preamplifier designs to deliver 40 watts RMS of high-fidelity sound. The amplifier uses hand-made power and output transformers made in the USA, a Swiss-made ELMA rotary switch for input selection, and a Japanese Alps volume control for precise adjustment. It includes four pairs of single-ended inputs with gold-plated RCA jacks, military spec printed circuit boards with thick copper traces, and an advanced soft latching power on/off circuit with a stainless steel push button switch. The M608 is 100% handcrafted in California, USA, and offers an optional remote-controlled volume. It was originally produced from 1999 to 2006 and later brought back to production with updated components due to demand.
