Has anybody heard a Cayin tube amp?

[JohnVF]

I'm just poking around the audio world seeing what's out there, not really interested in buying..but these amps look interesting. Has anybody heard one?

A-70T

Sp-10a

And yes, it was the wood case of the Sp-10a that caught my eye.

Not looking to buy but an amp like the A-70T would be interesting on my ESL-63s or SHL-5s when they get here (I'm really looking for a Solid State alternative to the Leben, for my second system).

I heard the 50T quite awhile back. It was a pleasant listen but I really don't remember much more about it.

I'd love to take a month-long tour of the far-east, and take about a week of that to dedicate to getting into the audio community and listening to stuff. I admit to being more intrigued by the Line Magnetic gear despite my lackluster audition. I wish there was a dealer local to me who wasn't so predictable (boring) in their product choices. The only esoteric stuff around here is the uber-high-end "HI FI" (capital letters of course). Nobody has the unexpected.
