Kingko KA-101 Integrated Tube Amplifier


Has anyone tried the Kingko KA-101 amplifier? EL84 based integrated with 2 12au7’s, 1 12ax7 and a 5ar4 or a 5u4g tube for rectification. I read a few reviews, saw the price and thought I would check it out. Ordered one and out of the box it sounded exceptional with the stock tubes but with NOS tubes this thing is seriously good. I mean seriously good. I’m not a reviewer nor do I want to be...just love music and love playing around with the gear and this thing is pure fun. Its so inexpensive I actually bought 2 although I need to add on to have another room for another system LOL.

I’d be interested in hearing your tube rolling adventures as well as speaker selection. I’ve got 4 different pair of speakers and I’m kindof surprised it sounds great and drives all 4 pair very well. I’m kindof shocked actually. Anyway, chime in and peace.

Had anybody used this as headphone amp?

It seems to have been designed as headphone amp with three different impedance settings.
Thanks a lot OP for your answer on headphone.

Could you give me more details like treble, bass quality and headstage?
