CS6

About the CS6

The Shengya CS-6 is a hybrid preamplifier combining vacuum tube and transistor technologies in a fully balanced dual-mono design with independent channels and separate transformers to reduce crosstalk and noise. It uses eight Russian-made 6922 vacuum tubes with gold-plated pins and sockets, delivering sound performance beyond ordinary products. The preamp features a tube CPI output up to 30V without distortion, a large quadruple ALPS precision potentiometer for volume control with remote capability, and high-quality audio components such as MKP specialty film capacitors and 1% precision metal film resistors. It has six pairs of inputs (including one balanced) and four pairs of outputs (two balanced). The CS-6 is noted for its very quiet operation, excellent dynamic contrast, and full-bodied sound, providing performance exceeding similarly priced tube preamps and approaching high-end models. Dimensions are 496 × 143.5 × 421 mm, and it weighs 15 kg. It is designed to pair well with Shengya's PSM-600 monoblock amplifiers and comes with a one-year warranty from authorized distributors.
