Have you guys seen these? Seems to be right up my alley for the office 2-ch system I want to build.

The stuff from nOrh looks good too.

Similar to the Cayin TA-30 for $800, adds the auto biasing, but gives up the nicer appearance (IMO).

See the review in the July 2004 issue of Hi-Fi News. Ken Kessler raved and said it is his new reference for tube integrateds.

Hey Dog,

That's a "messaged" Cayin TA-30. Given the choice, I would buy a fully upgraded Cayin TA-30 from Paul at BizzyBee Audio (www.b2audio.com). The sonic upgrades, along with external bias adjustments, would push me toward Paul's mod'd TA-30. And it's cheaper!!!

I've owned both a stock Cayin TA-30 and a fully modified unit (both from BizzyBee). They are good values.

Enjoy,

TIC

BTW, I no longer own either, so I'm not trying to sell something, and I don't have any relationship with Paul or BizzyBee. I'm just a satisfied previous customer......
