Cayin CS-6PH Phono Pre-Amplifier
Introducing the Cayin CS-6PH, a class-leading all-valve phono stage that redefines vinyl listening. This stunning phono preamplifier supports both MM and MC cartridges, allowing the connection of turntables with different cartridges or two turntables. With an easy selection on the front panel, switching between MM and MC inputs is seamless.
The CS-6PH features hand-selected tubes for superior sound quality. It uses two 6922 valves from Electro Harmonix for MC amplification and two ECC83 valves from JJ Electronics for MM amplification, ensuring tight tolerance RIAA equalisation. The 12AT7 serves as the output stage, while two RCA 22DE4 tubes handle rectification to minimize power interference.
Conveniently located on the front panel, the gain switch allows adjustment from 40dB to 65dB, catering to both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. The input impedance and capacitance are also adjustable, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of high-end MC cartridges.
The CS-6PH is designed with a low pass filter circuit to prevent low-frequency deflections, and it offers both balanced and unbalanced analogue outputs. With a bespoke EI power transformer and ultra-low noise voltage regulation circuit, it guarantees pure, stable power output.
Hand-assembled by skilled technicians, each CS-6PH undergoes rigorous quality and listening tests to meet Cayin’s high standards. Premium components, including audio-grade capacitors, carbon film resistors, and high-end silver relays, ensure exceptional sound quality and reliability.
With easy front-panel controls and the ability to memorize settings, the CS-6PH provides a user-friendly experience. The soft start circuit extends tube life, while the included tube cover ensures safety. Enjoy your vinyl collection like never before with the Cayin CS-6PH.
