Being accustomed to "tube sound"( I used an Acoustic Research D-70 mk2 paired with a Conrad Johnson PV-10), All I can tell you is that the sound of the Sakura's isn't that far off. I guess a side by side comparison or shootout between the Sakura, Dared and Cayin would be in order couple with tea and lots of "camaraderie" Again, my sincerest apologies! Peace!

IMO, I don't think you need to apologize for anything Doc; trust your ears! Anthony must have matched the amp well with his speakers and you have liked the SQ the way he did. Nevertheless, value-for-money gems like the Sakura abound in this crazy audio world, you just have to discover them!
endrik35 wrote:sir qguy, I couldn't agree with you more! Everything we read we should always take with a grain of salt. As you prefer the sound of your Cayin A-70T to the AR D-70mk2, ako naman, I prefer the AR's. Music is universal and objective, it is our listening skills and preferences which is subjective. What may sound great for Jose may sound dull and lifeless to Juan! That's why I was asking for an apology kase it was only my humble opinion and it was unfair to owners of Cayin and Dared amps. Thank you and Godbless!
