The Cayin MT-12N Tube Integrated Amplifier is a masterpiece of audio engineering, featuring meticulous point-to-point wiring and exceptional build quality. This amplifier is designed for audiophiles seeking superior sound, using two wide bandwidth EI output transformers for enhanced audio performance. The power supply is powered by a specially designed toroid transformer, ensuring optimal efficiency and sound quality. In the preamplifier stage, it utilizes a single 12AU7 tube for voltage amplification, complemented by two 6N1 tubes for drive amplification. For push-pull amplification, four EL84EH tubes are employed, resulting in a warm, rich sound. Volume control is handled by a high-quality Japanese ALPS potentiometer for smooth operation. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a convenient tube cover that not only protects the tubes but enhances the aesthetic appeal of the amplifier.
