I have to throw another vote for the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premier HP. I have been hankering to see how a tube amp sounded in my system with Focal Utopia Diablo III's over my SS Class A amp. The local dealer brought one over and hooked it up. I am always skeptical of "this X blew me away" but in reality, the PrimaLuna had a better soundstage, more realistic sound and improved imaging. I was truly surprised at the difference and bought one. They are built like tanks, with point to point wiring, and various bells and whistles designed to make tube ownership easy. I had a tube start to fail in the first week, and the "bad tube indicator" immediately showed me which one was failing. I had a new replacement from Upscale in two days. It is a truly great amp that punches way above its price. It drives my Focal's with no problem as well as the Joseph Audio Pulsars that I am checking out in my system. Having been an SS guy for my whole life, I now love my PrimaLuna. Think that you need more than 75 watts? Buy 2 and use them as mono blocks with 145 watts per amp by throwing a switch.
I can't speak to the Cayin, which I have heard is made at the same plant, but the unconfirmed rumors are that Cayin uses differently sourced parts and is not just a PrimaLuna with a different name slapped on it.
