중국제 yaqin sd- 32a cdp를 들이고 나서 첨엔 소리에 실망을 하여 후회하기도 했는데 시간이 지나면서 호기심이 생기기 시작했습니다. 튜브단과 일반단자가 있는데 첨엔 튜브가 너무 답답해서 듣지 않다가 시간이 지나면서 안정화 되어 가고 있습니다. 물론 브랜드가치도 떨어지고 중국제라는 선입견에 망설였지만 디자인이 예쁘고 그리고 소리의 변화를 조절할 수 있다는 점에서 진공관 앰프는 부담스럽지만, cdp라도 사용하고자 직접 홍콩의 업체에 주문해서 사용한지 한달 정도 되는 것 같습니다. 시간이 없어서 많이 사용하진 못했지만, 그런데 듣다 보니 약간의 아쉬움이 있어 정보를 검색하다 어느 분의 글을 보고 진공관에 대해서 호기심이 궁금한 점이 생겼습니다. 그래서 진공관 고수님들의 도움을 요합니다.

현재 사용되는 진공관은 음색에 영향을 주는 초단관 6N8P 을 사용하는데 아래의 글에서 제일 좋은 평을 얻고 있는 Sylvania 6SN7GTB 호환관인지 어떤 종류의 관인지 잘 모르겠네요.

그리고 가격과 어디서 구할 수 있느지 그리고 또한 가성비 좋은 관들에는 어떤것들이 있는지 궁금합니다..

=====================================================================================================================

Well, its review time, My SD-32A showed up today. I did some tube
rolling, listening and have formed some opinions which I share with you.



The box arrived in nice shape from the Canadian Yaqin dealer who sells
on eBay. The unit was nicely double boxed, wrapped in a plastic bag and
weighed in at 25 pounds 5.6 oz. A nice looking futuristic feeling unit,
see photo above. It gave the impression of being solid and well built.
At least externally The octal sockets for the two 6SN7s are porcelain.
The remote is a hefty chunk of metal which could make a formidable
projectile to be used on guests who don't appreciate your music choices.



The rest of my system consists of a modified Ming-Da Meixing MC67-HA
preamp with all Sylvania 7308 signal path tubes, Clearview CXR-22 active
crossover, a custom built (by me) KT88-based stereo power amp which
uses CV-1932 preamps, JAN-CHS 6SN7 phase splitters and Gold Lion KT88s.
Oh yes, and my 1KW 15" subwoofer



So let's try this thing out. Remember I sold my ultra modified Shanling SCD-T200C and bought this player to replace it.



I like mostly New Age and the music that I use for reference comparisons
is "Andalu" by Chris Spheeris, "Falling through Time" by 2002 and
"Almost a Whisper" by Yani. Also select tracks from Exchange, Lesiem,
and others.



My first impression is that the mids were lacking. There were plenty of
highs but mids and therefore the framework of the music was missing. The
Chinese 6N8Ps got pulled and I headed for my tube cellar. I emerged
with a set of '44 JAN-CHS Sylvania 6SN7s, a set of '45 USN VT124
Sylvania 6SN7GTs and a set of '47 triangle plate Sylvania 6SN7GTBs.



I tried the '44s first. What an improvement. All of the music was there
but there was a bit of 'tizzieness". So I tried the '45s. They sounded
the same. Concern crept into my heart and I thought to myself "I wonder
if this player could use a nice set of Rusian Teflon coupling caps?"



But when I dropped in the '47s, my fears were laid to rest. At last the
full spectrum of music was there. The spectral distribution was finally
there along with the pace, rithym and punch that I had enjoyed with the
Shanling. Not to say that a tweak here or there wouldn't be warranted...



But the bottom line is that at $500 this player is giveaway priced. You
cannot go wrong at 3 times the price. Four times may be pushing it. But
in my opinion, this player is one hell of a buy. Bravo!
