Dared amps

Dilly the one you are looking for is called CAYIN
I have the Jadis Orch Ref, a very good amp, but I feel could have got one of the cayin models with 4 KT88's , can;t recall the model, at half the price, new.
And sound just as good.
I'm looking at the Cayin 500, only avaliable in europe, $3K + ship.
btw Cayin does have some cheaper amps that are good as a starter/basic 2nd system/someone on a small budget.

owned lots of tube gear see my feedback the dared failer was not tube related but lack of quality control.Mine was a early one. Purchased new at the time dared had no US repair lined up.Do they now?

ok now that I'm in the right thread. And those of you that don't know what I'm talking about? Well you will find out if you cruise the threads.

Well......... I don't know? it looks like a split decision on the Dared. So should I or shouldn't I. I think it would be something I would defintely demo before laying down the cash.

Do they offer a money back guarantee? And do they have a repair facility in the U.S.? Than would be my concern. I would hate to need to ship it all the way to China for warranty issues.

I don't however think that everything that comes out of China is junk. After living there for some time, and living in a city that had plenty of high-edn stuff ( including all the big names sold here ) I found that some of there stuff was good and some not so good. How much do you want to lay down?

KT,

Where did you live? can you give me some store recco's (offline). I spend about 60 of my time in China now (mostly in the southeast)-the rest back home in the US.

Thanks,

Bgrazman,

I spent most fo my time in SZ ( ShenZhen ) I don't have a clue about store names. But unlike America, China likes to put all of their related stores in the same building. ( talk about a kid in a candy shop ) So as you pass through the various floors, you see all the big name brands. You think American high end dealers are helpful? These people will bend over backward and then forward agian to please you. You can get it all delivered and setup for free! And get a massage with it if you like :)

Well umm, anyway back to the stores. I don't recall the building they were in, but there is one main drag in SZ where the rich and famous go to shop. ( they have stores from around the world there ) So if you get on that street you will find it. You can tell the taxi driver ( if you speak enough Chinese because he wont be speaking English ) to take you to the street with all the computer stores on it. But try to stay toward the end of the street that intersects with the Pavilion Hotel. If I recall the store is close ( but across the street ) from a Mc Donalds. But I should warn you, there are a lot of McD's in SZ.

Feel free to e-mail me if you want. In the mean time I will try to recall more clearly.
