Cayin MT-12L
The latest version of the classically designed Cayin MT-12L tube amplifier trusts in two legendary EL-84 tubes per channel, which are controlled by 6N1 double-pole 3-pin tubes.
In addition to numerous improvements in detail even a modified wiring of the tube socket was required. In addition to gold-plated connections, careful construction and a noble wooden front panel, the push-pull amplifier for tube ratios offers a decent output for a small price. And if you want to elicit even finer nuances of sound from the Cayin MT-12L, you can tune your amp to your own taste thanks to the large number of EL-84 offshoots.
The Class A / B circuit was built with one 12AX7, two 6N1 and four EL84EH tubes. The Cayin MT-12L offers separate taps for 4- or 8-ohm speakers as well as three line inputs with solid RCA jacks
