BADA DC-222 vacuum tube hybrid integrated amplifier with 4 inputs

BADA DC-222 Hybrid Integrated Amp " The reason I' ve concentrated on the digital players thus far is because, unlike all other audio equipment, it gives me a constant challenge that keeps me going. I was looking for a cheap Chinese CD player platform to upgrade when I saw the Bada DC-222. Pacific Valve had detailed pictures of the open amplifier so I knew what could be done. I' ve sold this amplifier to some of my customers who were willing to evaluate it. So far, it has significantly outperformed darTZeel' s latest amplifier revision; top-line VAC monoblocks with VAC preamp; a top-line VTL preamp ( the latest version with 12AU7 tubes) and Edge monoblocks; Lamm 1.2 MKII Signature monoblocks; and Spectron' s Musician III Signature class-D amplifier in two setups - all according to owner feedback of course."

All guts are truly high end and no skimping on great components. The 6922 tubes are shielded with metal cams that are grounded to the chassis. Dual transformers feed the tubes and transistors for an effortless 95 watts / channel into 8 ohms and 190 / watts into 4 ohms. The circuit layout is state-of-the-art with R-type and torodial transformers and Wina, Solen capacitors. Comes with remote control. Maximum output power 95W+ 95W ( 8 @ Ohms) 190W+ 190W ( 4 @ ohms) Frequency response : 20Hz~ 20kHz ( + 1.5dB) Harmonics distortion : 85dB Power Requirements : ~ 110V 60Hz Power Consumption: = 350W
