Cayin MT-35 MK3 – New Tube Integrated Amplifier
21.03.2025 08:50 | ~1 minute read
Cayin has released an update to its well-known integrated amplifier model – the Cayin MT-35 MK3. In addition to three RCA inputs, the amp received a wireless streaming module Bluetooth (AAC, aptX HD and LDAC) with a fairly powerful built-in digital-to-analog converter based on the ES9018K2M Sabre32 chip.
The Cayin MT-35 MK3 integrated amplifier operates in class A/B and offers 2 x 36 W in ultra-linear mode to any speaker impedance within 4 – 8 Ohms. Triode mode reduces the power to 2 x 18 W, but guarantees more accurate sound. The output stages are built on four EL34 pentodes (two per channel), while the preamplifier stages use dual triodes 12AX7 (or ECC83) and 12AU7 (or ECC82). In addition to the standard EL34 tubes, compatible tubes such as 6CA7, 6L6 or 5881 can be used.
The specially designed output transformers are the icing on the cake. The built-in headphone amplifier is also included – ready to work with a nominal impedance of 16 to 300 Ohms. The centrally located pointer level indicator serves as an indicator of the output tube bias setting. The metal protective tube cover can be both removed and put on.
Particularly noteworthy is the extended bandwidth from 8 Hz to 60 kHz (at -3 dB level) and the signal-to-noise ratio of 93 dB. The Cayin MT-35 MK3 integrated amplifier will be available in Europe in March - April 2025, priced at €1,599.
