The Cayin Soul-170I tube amplifier combines audiophile technology with musical emotion. Equipped with powerful KT170 tubes, this Class AB amplifier delivers 2 x 130 watts in ultralinear mode or 75 watts per channel in triode mode. The KT170 tubes provide a high level of dynamics and detail, resulting in a particularly rich yet natural listening experience. Based on Tungsol KT170 power tubes, the Soul-170I impresses with precise and expressive sound reproduction that meets the highest demands.
Two Operating Modes for Individual Sound Signatures
The Cayin Soul-170I offers the ability to switch between two operating modes: triode and ultralinear mode. In triode mode, the amplifier produces a soft, harmonic sound with a gentle and tender tonal characteristic, ideal for vocal and instrumental music where every nuance matters. The ultralinear mode, on the other hand, delivers powerful, dynamic playback with precise bass and controlled high frequencies, perfect for music with high energy and punch. Music lovers can choose the appropriate sound signature based on genre and mood.
Exceptional Build Quality with Point-to-Point Wiring
The technical precision of the Cayin Soul-170I is reflected in its meticulous point-to-point wiring. All components are manually soldered and wired to ensure the shortest possible signal path and optimal sound quality. Only high-quality components such as the Alps volume control, durable porcelain tube sockets, and selected capacitors designed for audio applications are used. Carbon film resistors in audio quality further contribute to fine detail reproduction and the device's long lifespan. The generously sized toroidal transformer and Cayin's self-developed EI output transformers ensure stable power supply and positively influence both bass quality and treble clarity.
Versatile Connectivity Options and Flexible Use
The Cayin Soul-170I is designed for flexible use with various sources. It features three pairs of line inputs, one pair of balanced XLR inputs, and an additional connection for use as a pure power amplifier. This flexibility allows the amplifier to integrate seamlessly into sophisticated hi-fi systems, functioning as either an integrated amplifier or a power amplifier. A sub-out connection also enables the addition of a subwoofer, providing an advantage for bass-heavy music or home theater applications and expanding the sound spectrum.
Easy Control and Safety for Tube Operation
The Cayin Soul-170I offers user-friendly tube bias control. A display on the top of the device allows users to monitor and precisely adjust the bias of the KT170 tubes. The amplifier is also equipped with a soft-start circuit and high-voltage fuses that protect tubes and internal components from overvoltage, extending the lifespan of the high-quality components. The fuses are located near the power tubes and react immediately in the event of a tube defect, ensuring the amplifier remains in a safe state at all times.
Luxurious Design and Comfortable Operation
With its robust design and high-quality metal remote control, the Cayin Soul-170I leaves nothing to be desired. The remote control saves the device's last setting, making it immediately available when switched on again. This ensures comfortable operation and allows users to quickly restore their preferred sound settings. Combined with its excellent build quality and versatile applications, the Cayin Soul-170I tube amplifier offers a luxurious and exceptional music experience for discerning music lovers who wish to enjoy every note and sound in its depth and expressiveness.
In the idyllic Taunus region, a popular destination for nature lovers, lies the headquarters of Cayin Audio Distribution in Glashütten-Schlossborn.
