Cayin Soul 170P – Flagship Tube Power Amp

29.09.2025 05:39 | ~1 minute read

The Cayin Soul 170P tube amplifier is presented – the model uses four Tung-Sol KT170 in a push-pull configuration and operates in pure class A. The amplification stage is based on a pair of dual JJ 12AU7 triodes for voltage amplification, two JJ 6SN7 tubes in driver stages and a 17AX4GT kenotron for power supply.

The Cayin Soul 170P develops 2 h 60 W or 1 h 120 W in ultra-linear mode. The amplifier allows you to precisely calibrate the feedback – choosing from Low (warm sound) and High (more focused delivery) modes. The Auto Bias system maintains optimal tube operating modes without manual settings and extends the service life.
