User questions & answers

Question: Is this the one with point to point wiring and the tube cage
Answer: To get an accurate sound-stage, with nice airy separation of instruments especially with small jazz groups, I find you MUST make sure with your hamsters or ferrets: a) they are, and always have been, feed on high quality oil and paper based feed. b) their claws are kept well clipped. If you don't do this you will get a lot of 7th and 9th harmonic distortion. This will totally mangle the slew rate of the amp, and could (even worse) lead to parasitic oscillation at high frequencies. House mice ? don't bother, I caught a few and tried them. Terrible sound.
Question: Can I plug an audio technica record player directly into this amp or do I need a pre amp? (I don’t really understand what pre amps do
Answer: You need to be more specific with your question: Adequate volume = ?? dB? Sensitivity of the Wharferdale speakers: ?? dB/m/watt? Room dimensions: 18x20x? feet? Is the room alive (lots of slap echo) or relatively dead (lots of soft cloth curtains, couches)? I play my music to as high as 85 dB on my 89 dB speakers in a room that is 16 x 30 x 9 that is reasonably alive (glass windows, plastic blinds, hardwood floors) and the amp drives it fine.
Question: Can i replace 6n2j tubes with 12ax7/ecc83 tubes? in case stock 6N2J tubes go out
Answer: Definitely, unless you are playing hard metal rock to ear splitting level. It drives my 8 ohm, 87 dB sensitivity speakers to satisfying level. Go for it.
Question: My brother said if the tubes are removed and the unit is unplugged, it can be used as a carrier for hamsters (to take them to the vet). Is this safe
Answer: My speakers are 89 dB sensitivity and I can hear tube hiss at 12 o'clock on the volume control if I put my ear on the drivers without music playing. Not a problem at listening position and at 12 o'clock the music is plenty loud in my biggish room (40x18x9). At 105 dB it may be a problem but I guess you won't need to crank it to 12 o'clock either. Hope that helps. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. Great value, great sound, well built amp. The support service has been quite responsive too. Good luck

User questions & answers

Question: input sensitivity
Answer: How loud it will get greatly depends on your speaker sensitivity. If you are using very efficient speakers it will fill a medium size room with sound. My speakers have a sensitivity of 99 db and it will fill the medium size living and dining room with plenty enough sound for my liking. If you are talking about a large gathering of people in a large area I am not sure this amplifier will fit your needs.
Question: Can the VU meters sensitivity be adjusted to deflect (jump) more for aesthetic reasons
Answer: Is this the one with point to point wiring and the tube cage?---------YES. point to point wiring and come with the tube cage.
Question: w? Seems light. Is that enough to power a large speaker or is this amp for powered speakers only
Answer: Most turntables will need an additional pre-amplifier to boost their signal before plugging them into the Reisong A10. However, if you happen to own the Audio Technica AT-LP60, which contains it's own inboard phono pre-amplifier, you won't need a separate phono pre-amp.
Question: How loud can it get? Is it adequate for just bedroom listening or can it be used for a party
Answer: Can i replace 6n2j tubes with 12ax7/ecc83 tubes? ----YES. But you please pay attention to adjusting the electronic pin position when you replace them.

User questions & answers

Question: Has anyone compared this amp to one of the tripath T-Amps (topping, lepai, indeed, etc
Answer: Car speakers most definitely can sound good for home use. Nathaniel doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. Will it make all car speakers sound good? No, definitely not. However, there are very high quality speakers out there that are aimed at the automotive market. Are they going to sound like $10,000 a piece speakers, no. However there isn't actually anything that has to be different between a car speaker and a home speaker, other than where it is used. I actually have some Hertz speakers in a project I've been building, and they sound great. Other high end car audio manufacturers are Morel and Focal - and yes, those speakers could also be made to sound great in the home. Unfortunately, the audio world is full of a bunch of know-nothing snobs who can hear the most incredible differences between audio setups - unless they're put in a double blind test. In particular, check out double blind tests done on amplifiers to get an idea.
Question: Are these tubes all compatible with the u.s. ms-10d? ––– > 6p1 = 6p1p = 6n1n = 6aq5 = 6p15 6n1 = 6n1p = 6н1п = 6n1n-ev = 6h
Answer: At the first,when you connect bluetooth,turn on it it will have a slight sound,but after a whille ,it will disappear,if still have this sound,pls check your speaker and your power supply.hope you can know it,any problem ,pls contact technical support ,thanks
Question: Do you need a phono preamp for a turntable record player? Also, does the volume knob control the volume of headphones as well
Answer: This tube amplifier have two input modes, AUX/ Bluetooth, you can select the input modes by the switch button,if you want to use bluetooth connect it ,pls select toggle to bluetooth modes, search our tube amplifier" aiyima T2 pro ",then connect it. And All of the bluetooth device can only connect one-to-one, not one-to-many,thanks!

User questions & answers

Question: What type of valves I can use as replacements
Answer: It is a tube amplifier (as opposed to solid state), so they are integral to the function of the equipment. Looking cool is just a bonus...
Question: Has anyone used the optical input? i've tried small optical to rca converters for listening to the tv. nothing worked
Answer: Douk audio lists input sensitivity at 500mv-2000mv... it’s a very decent albeit VERY entry level integrated tube amp. By itself it’s a wee bit weak on the bass response even into quite capable speakers (Klipsch RP-600m’s). I recently added a Chinese made Suca Audio tube preamp $38 which adds +/- 6db treble and +/- 10db bass! Literally night and day difference. This Amp with the addition of the preamp sounds DIVINE. If you decide to buy this definitely but the preamp as well. It made me go from “meh” to “WOW!!!!” Hope this helps.
Question: What is in the rectangular box behind of the tube? Transformer
Answer: Keep in mind that the purpose of the meters (besides looks), is to show the true output power being sent to each speaker. If you're looking for more sensitivity or needle action, try using a dj mixer or pre amp that has an equalizer. If you add a little more bass, that will make them much more active. Or, if you have an equalizer, plug your source into the "EQ" input. And the EQ "output" into the AMP "input". Honestly, I wouldn't take the unit apart. It would likely void any warranty. Meanwhile, I've had my amp for about a month now. It's hooked up to a set of JBL S38 Studio Series speakers. I'm MORE than happy. The tubes had time to burn-in, and this unit is the best sounding amp I've owned in 50 years! I listened to a clip on u two-b called hot pipes which features a gigantic organ with symphony. Your house will GROWL from the low notes of the organ! It honestly has just as good of sound as the big movie theater in town. The audio chain in this unit is totally clean. NO hiss, NO hum, NO static. The stereo separation is EXCELLENT. Some instruments jump out at you as if you're right in the studio/hall with them! Whoever designed this amp, knows what they're doing and deserves recognition and praise! There's NOTHING I would change about this amplifier, it's simply perfect.
Question: Do the tubes have a function or are they there just to look cool
Answer: Hello. It is 6.8W*2. 6.8W is for tube amplifiers. The power of tube amplifiers is different with digital amplifiers. Normally, it can drive most home speakers. Please note it can only work with passive speakers.

Question: what power tubes can this amplifier accept and be biased for
Answer: The rectangular box is designed to simulate the style of what would be three large transformers if this were actually were a genuine all-tube amplifier, which it is not. This rectangular box might trick trick your friends (but not you, now that you've read this) into believing you've purchased an expensive all-tube amplifier. However, there is a single toroidal power transformer located inside this large box, although there are no output transformers as the power stage of this amplifier is solid-state (transistorized) and does not use tubes.

User questions & answers

Question: How easy is it to replace the tube sockets in this unit? Some were screwed up on receipt and I may have damaged others replacing tubes
Answer: Solid state, uses discrete components. Very neutral sounding and has a very open soundstage.
Question: How many dB of gain can it add to the input signal
Answer: I've no idea. I gave it away. It wasn't what I needed. It did work fine, but it didn't have a actual On/Off switch which was a bother.
Question: ax7 tubes are noted for a treble shrillness. is this noticeable on this unit? can the 12ax7 tubes be rolled to lower-gain 12at7 tubes
Answer: Yes, the RCA out on your tape deck will connect directly into the PA550 and the adjustable treble will give it more boost.
Question: Can you tell me what size is the pot shaft for the knobs on the front - if I wanted to order nee knobs. This would be the size opening on the backsid
Answer: Yes, plug your turntable into the PA550 phono input. Plug the output of the PA550 into the input of the SE560 then use the output of the SE560 to go to your amp or preamp. Works perfectly. When first set up, set the level controls of both units half way up.

User questions & answers

Question: It's supposed to act as a preamp for a turntable? i plugged my tt into it and then to the amp but the signal is way too low and hi eq ish
Answer: Its not a phono pre amp.
Question: I have a keyboard synthesizer with a low volume signal. Is this suitable for increasing the gain before connecting a power amplifier and speakers
Answer: Absolutely, it adds warm, full range boost to the signal. I use mine as a preamp For my turntable, and it sounds amazing. I’m impressed how gorgeous this sounds for the price. I’m a guitarist of 23 years, and I have yet to use this as a preamp for my effects loop, but now that you mention it I think it will be perfect for that application.
