Ayon Triton Evo Integrated

I just acquired a gently used Ayon Triton Evo integrated amp to level up from a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III. This beast was rather intimidating to buy, get shipped, unload and set up. 

Before I powered it up the first time my hands were a little shaky from exertion and adrenaline….like an alcoholic that needed a double shot of vodka to calm his nerves. 

The sound was immediately bigger, deeper, fuller, more open and with tighter bass. I’m still overwhelmed so not much more to report until I’ve settled into it for a while. 

Happy to have this purchase behind me. Time to rest and listen.

Beautiful setup you have there.  And I’m sure your new Triton Evo will give you years of enjoyment.

8 KT150's-thats a lot of juice!

Can KT 170's be used? If so, another option for even more power.

Enjoy it.
 

Yes. KT170s are plug and play in this amp. Because I have relatively efficient speakers (~93) the KT150s, even in triode mode, deliver plenty of power. Specs say class A triode mode class A into 8ohms = 80 watts.

Congrats!  I had a Triton II like 10/12 year back. I loved it for a good few+ years.

Man that is a beast, and appears it can run 70w in parallel single ended Triode too, correct?. Very nice.  My Monos run only run two KT150s or KT120s per amp and its plenty for my less efficient speakers. Its cool  to see the 6SN7s and 12au7s in your amp design.  I best it sounds nice.  yes

I prefer the KT170 over the 150s. Awesome kit you have there.
