Cayin 265i is only 40wpc. I don't think that's enough to drive the Vollas. Is there any other integrated model by Cayin that might fit?
As for Jolida, I'll research them as well.

Chinese integrated for around $1k
Hi guys,
I am looking for a powerful integrated amp around $1k.
Since my speakers are Chinese (Aurum Cantus Volla) I started looking into some Chinese amplification options, hoping they might surprise me the way the speakers did.
I have narrowed down the search to 2 options:
1. Dussun V6i
2. Shengya A-206mk
Both are quite powerful, both can be used as pure power amps for future tube pre-amp options, and both got decent to raving reviews over the net (for what it's worth).
Since there's no authorized dealer around me, this is going to be a blind purchase.
The Shengya is more expensive by ~$500, but is quite a looker to my taste (it just looks more robust).
So, has anyone had an experience with these amps an can shed some unsolicited light for me?
Thanks

Jolida USA does make very decent gear at a good price and they have good service. Their products are manufactured thru Chinese and US facilities. However, in your online search you will also find the Jolida company based in China. Their products are slightly different than the USA, and are only sold online. Some good info about Jolida... http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/jolida-vs-jolida.241469/ |
Shanling a3000,Jungson Hedo (currently one for sale on here) Vincent amps are made in china (similar to shengya) and seem to get great reviews, rogue sphinx as suggested above, if you could stretch the budget maybe a peachtree nova 125. I actually have a tube amp for sale on here (tad 60) that is more than powerful enough to drive proac response 2.5's to very loud levels and sounds spectacular. |
