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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing amplifier, best home audio

All observations were made with: Speakers: Klipsch rp-600mDigital: Mac-book > Schiit eitr > Chord mojo > Vista audio spark / Boyuu Reisong a10Analog: Sony Ps hx500 > Shiit mani > Vista audio spark / Boyuu Reisong a10. Cable: Audioquest and blue jeans. Coasters: Vivo filled with cat litter. About a month later all I can say is that I love tubes and I love this little (still beefy) amp. (First on my audiophile journey) Before I arrived I stocked up on a pair of JJ kt77s in case I didn't like the stock Shuguang el34b. I also ordered a pair of Tungsol el34. Having properly blown through the amp components and tubes, this is a little gem in my opinion. I can't even imagine what magical performance another amp that costs 2, 3, 4 or 5 times the price (along with more power) can have. Bass control, but nothing major. With Tungsol el34: balanced sound and controlled bass. Ideal for skirt. C JJ kt77: A classic performance of apotheotic grandeur. Compared to Vista Audio Spark: Same nice, controlled and punchy performance with Tungsol el34 and Jjkt77. However, the Vista cannot reproduce the tonal richness of the Reisong midrange driver when using the Shuguang el34b. My analog setup has never sounded better.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Rumped
