Yaqin MC-84L Stereo Vacuum Tube Push-Pull Integrated Amplifier,Output Power12Wx2,Tubes 6P14x4pcs 12AX7Bx2pcs, AC110V and AC230V Optional

Sound quality with the original supplied tubes is very good in my opinion. The amplifier is well built and rather heavy (around 9kg) great value for moneyAlso it does kick out a fair bit of heat from the tubes so must have some space around itIf you want to get into tubes at a reasonable price then I'd suggest starting here

The media could not be loaded. This is my first tube amplifier and I didn't know what to expect.If you are looking for crystal-clear sound that doesn't cost a fortune, this is the equipment for you. The sound is clean and juicy. There is no signal output to the subwoofer. This may be a disadvantage for low efficiency speakers. However, you must be aware that it is only 2x12W. My speakers are kef q750.At this price, it's hard to find something that sounds as good.

There is no EQ on this (very heavy) amplifier and I find it sounds best through vintage speakers. Then the sound is warm and the frequency response is even (thru the range of my hearing in any case - I can't hear much above 12kHz). The manual is minimal to say the least, and I was expecting a circuit diagram. But it's straightforward to set up. Note: there isn't an input for vinyl record players that don't have an inbuilt, suitable equalised pre-amplifier. Overpriced for what you get.

From start to finish this experience has been good. Prior to purchase I contacted Yaqin customer services and asked a number of technical questions about coupling phono stages, power output etc and they were quick and happy to respond. After purchase I had a couple of further questions and again they were helpful and knowledgeable. I bought this because I wanted to run my vinyl through a fully analogue system but didn’t want to spend a fortune. This little amp is great, rich well balanced sound, mellow and great for jazz and classical but still with enough “oomph” to handle rock. I class myself as a bit of an audiophile and don’t think there is anything else at this price point that comes close.

I'm not in the market for a tube amp so I don't need to have an opinion on this but this measures poorly for a tube amp. The lie in the specs about it being 'powerful' and 'actually can output more than 60 watts' also seems pretty unforgivable. Then the lack of a phono stage makes this device seem pretty pointless for the target market who will surely want to play vinyl. I feel like I know enough about this device to rate it 'poor'.

The amplifier arrived before the predicted delivery date and was packed incredibly well with plenty of foam protection. The valves are fitted but, again, with foam protection. I have to say the amp looks absolutely gorgeous and is beautifully finished.Most important is how it sounds however. I connected it up and turned it on, leaving it 10 minutes to warm up, and played some tracks from CD that I know well. I was actually blown away and that takes a lot these days. It sounded rich with deep but smooth bass, perfect treble and impressive spacial sound stage.So far I'm very impressed with the amp and with the communication from the seller who couldn't be more helpful.
