ordering from China.....which Chinese Tube Integrated at 3k?

based on this

https://6moons.com/audioreviews/cayin/a88t.html

I took a chance on a used Cayin A88T on eBay. I’m very glad I did, it is impressively built, and sounds as good as my Fisher 80az Mono Blocks.

It allows 22 wpc triode or 45wpc ultralinear which I prefer, and came with 6550’s, I changed and prefer KT88’s.

I use a McIntosh mx110z tube tuner/preamp with it.

I needed the mk1, to get 16 ohm taps for my 16 ohm speakers. It's bias is an internal adjuster, no bias meter. Later versions dropped the 16 ohm tap, and added both external adjusters and meters for bias.

AI for what it’s worth

"AI Overview

No, Cayin does not make PrimaLuna. While both are tube amplifier brands, they are distinct companies. PrimaLuna is a Dutch brand, founded by Herman van den Dungen, that designs its products in the Netherlands and manufactures them in China according to Durob Audio. Cayin, on the other hand, is a Chinese brand according to Vinyl Revival. Some early Cayin models and PrimaLuna models share design similarities, and it’s been suggested they may have been manufactured in the same factory. However, they are not the same company.
