Saw the insides, and layout and interconnections are quite neat for this dual-mono amp. i bought it from Rene Rivo roughly one year ago. Only minus for me is it has no phono input. No plan of letting go of this tube amp, though. I am a happy owner.
Coupled with a MF VLPS phono stage, using a mid-end Monitor Audio or even AAudio Omega speakers , and spinning some Julie London, it sounds very good to me.
A lot of web sites attesting to the good workmanship and SQ of the Yaqin. Just google, sir. There is also an FB page for Yaqin owners and mod'ers.

Mahirap lang pag nabagsak saken ay sakit ng ulo tulad ng isang nabili kong Chinese product lately!
Magkano ang 100B saten? Kulang budget ko for KT88 kase kaya malamang sa 30L ako mauwi.
Wala pa bang problema ang 100b mo hanggang ngayon?
Salamat!

Wala naman akong problema so far after a year of using it. i got it for Php32K from Master Rene. He gave me warranty and for me , his word was enough. I advise you get the 100B Kt88 bec i heard the difference between an EL34 amp vs a KT88 one.

Sir Moddude you mean The KT88 Yaqin sounds better than the EL-34 based? In what aspect? Could you care to expound? thanks

Interesado sana ako sa EL34 amps nila like MC10T or 30L.
Kamusta reliability ng Yaqin products? Meron sellers ng Yaqin products dito sa forum at sa pdvd years ago pero parang hindi na masyado ito napaguusapan dito. Salamat.
endrik35 wrote:Jefrey ikaw ba si Tenderobject? I had a Yaqin MC-10L before. Maganda tumunog, parang Dynaco ST-70. Pinalitan ko power tubes from Shuguangs to Svetlana sed-winged EL-34s at driver tube to 6N1P-EB na Sovteks. worry ko lang is reliability issues kaya I sold it. Another thing is the design nung traffos, Bilog na metal casing siya to look like a toroidal pero hindi siya toroidal. What happens is nagiinit ng husto yung trappo kaso walang ventilation. My advice to you since nasa Iran ka is to look for Ariand tube amps. China made din siya pero imho mas maganda reliability and after sales support. sa UK Yarland and brand name niya pero same lang. . .

El-84 tubes nito Jefrey. Very sweet. Lalangamin ka for sure. . .
moddude wrote:tenderobject,
i have a Cayin A50T EL34-based amp which i rarely use now because of the Yaqin Kt88 100B . after hearing the 100B, my EL34 unit was relegated to semi-retired status.
as they always say, it is a subjective thing. you need to trust your own ears and audition well all your options before you take the dive. bring your speakers when auditioning the amps.
endrik35 wrote:Jefrey. why don't you contact Mang Andrew Sevilla of AMX audio and have him build a KT-88 integrated amp for you? I'm sure it won't cost you an arm and a leg and it sounds great too. Here is a pic of the AMX duettos KT-88 monoblocks paired with the EAR 912 preamp! Di papahuli ang pinoy!

Sir endrik, is the speaker on the left with the ring-radiator tweeter an AAudio Omega?
i sure would like to hear the AMX KT-88 with the AAudio Omega; i am definite the resulting sonic quality is a good demonstration of word-class Filipino engineering skills on both counts.
i had long wanted to have an AMX from Mang Andrew based on recomms from fellow members. I was given a chance to audition an AMX Duetto (though using 6550's instead of KT88s) when i was in the market for a tube amp, and the Duetto immediately joined my short list. The owner of the Duetto said i would have found the amps singing more beautifully if he had the KT88s installed. I was already in a couple of phone conversations with Mang Andrew, but my busy schedule did not permit me to go to Paranaque to pay him a visit and seal the deal. Eventually, i ended up with Yaqin auditions in Grey Market and with Rene Rivo, whose shops are more accessible to me.
Tenderobject, if you have a chance to own an AMX Duetto KT88 amp, go for it. It should be a keeper.

IMO comparing an EL34 base amp vs a KT88 base amp is like comparing apples and oranges. Some speaker will sounds good with EL34 base amp others will not. Some speaker will sound complete with KT88 tubes, kaya subjective
