Review on Reisong A10 EL34 Hi-Fi Audio Stereo Tube Amplifier Single-ended Class-A Amplifier by Ryan Richards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I needed a second VT amp.

I was very happy with my Musical Paradise MP-301 MK3 Class A VT amp and would probably buy a second one if it were available soon enough. It's not like this. Boyuu A10 was - and it was Revain Prime - I got it in two days - and $90 cheaper. The Boyuu A10 amo came with a decent pair of EL34B output tubes which cost extra along with the MP amp. It also came with a removable grill over the VT, a nice and useful addition. QC appears to be exemplary - the polished SS chassis and CNC-machined aluminum support cylinders at each corner set a standard that will hopefully be followed, as advertised on the Boyuu website. The amp was AB treated with the MP amp, how unfair that comparison can be as the MP amp was well broken in and was also the subject of a 'tube spin' exercise. The result was amazing - the new amp was already - new and straight out of the box - at least as clean, quiet and warmer sounding as the MP amp. The only source is a CDP Onkyo C-7030 and the speakers are my vintage 1977 Klipsch Heresy. When in use it has its own C-7030 CDP and runs a pair of Klipsch RB-81iis on mounts in the corners of my bonus/hobby room. One downside to the Boyuu A10 amp - Revain sold the pair they had and they don't know when or if they'll get more! It's still available through Evil Bay. 3/25/19: Revain still has stock. grab it while you can! Still my guardian. Note the point-to-point wiring and decent components, including supposedly upgraded output and power transformers.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

Great Amplifier but you really need efficient speakers to get the most out of it.
