Integrated tube amp has no bass Cayin A50T

Hi folks,

So I just bought a Cayin A50T (used, but well looked after), I have set it up at home and found that there is extremely little low end. it's very very noticeable.

Im powering Energy pro series 3.5 bookshelf speakers so nothing too crazy.

I'm very new to this hobby so I would greatly appreciate some help. I doubt the seller will take the amp back.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi All,

Thank you for all the responses and sorry about the 2 year delay in reply!

I am still with my amp, despite my bass complaints - as I just love the way it sounds otherwise. But yes, I'm still lacking bass.

I have tried swapping over the cables of one speaker to test the phase, I lost more bass - so I guess I had that right :)

For the Triode/Ultralinear I'm not clear when it is in each mode - is the indicator light red when in ultralinear? If so this makes sense as I hear a slight improvement.

So, it sounds like I need to address my speakers? Will impedance make a difference, or should I just focus on sensitivity?

Thanks again!

Nick
