8th MO: L Cao Audio LC200 Integrated Tube Amp 240V

Modify message





I am conducting the 8th mass order for L Cao Audio LC200 integrated tube amplifier 240 volts for local use. Many Chinese tube amps that are rated at 220 volts run hot, thus shorten lifespan of tubes when used with our mains. LC200 has a small footprint roughly the size of a shoe box, which makes an ideal secondary audio system for desktop, office, bedroom, studio apartment and dormitory. Although only rated at 9 watts RMS, LC200 is powerful enough to drive demanding speakers such as the 11 ohms BBC LS35/A mini monitors (to drive 15 ohms LS35/A, modifications to the output transformers is required).

Many budget tube amplifiers I have heard share a common problem - they sound more like solid state than tube! LC200 is the most "tube-sounding" budget tube amp I have heard so far. Its sound signature is detailed yet unfatiguing, with unparalleled midrange qualities and finesse that matches more expensive tube amps. Vocal is full-bodied, lush and vivid. Bass is full, clear and rhythmic. Treble is extended, clean and open. Overall presentation is balanced yet vibrant, refined yet musical, with excellent timbral spatial separation between instruments and artistes.

About L Cao Audio
Many audiophiles may probably have heard or experienced L Cao Audio products before. Yes, it is the same company that manufactures the well-known magnetic field-coil fullrange loudspeaker drivers. L Cao Audio is one of the pioneers in Chinese hifi industry. The company was established in 1998. Following the trend of Western Electric and Lowther, they manufactured China's first magnetic field-coil loudspeaker drivers in 2009. It received many good reviews from foreign media. L Cao Audio also produces a complete range of direct-heated tube amps which are gaining popularity among tube-loving audiophiles in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.

L Cao Audio is very, very small company with only 3 full-time employees (all of them electronics graduates). Every amp is made to order and hand-assemble by either of the staff. It normally takes a few days to assemble, run-in and test each amp. Please be very patient with your order.

Read the testimonies:

"This amp is very good. It produces 3D images so real." - Charlie Cheah

-----

"An exceptional value for such a great sounding amp. It rivals my Cayin which costs 5 times..." - Benjamin Ho

-----

"Only 9 watts but able to drive my 85dB ATC SCM11 with ease and grace... Very happy with this purchase." - Michael Phoon

-----

"I compared LC200 with my friend's LM518IA driving a pair of Tannoy Revolution XT6. They look like David and Goliath side by side. Sound-wise, although the 518 is more powerful and detailed but lacks musicality and fluidity. Each amp has its strengths and weaknesses but I prefer the LC200 overall. Very satisfied with the purchase. Thank you Larry!" - Anthony Chiang

-----

"Very nice-sounding amp! I use it in my office to play Spotify music. Speakers are a pair of Fostex 3-inch fullrange. A perfect companion at work." - Eric Goh

-----



- Mr Pang (from Malaysia) driving his 15 ohms LS35/A speakers

-----

"Wow! The mids are noticeably emphasized when paired with Monitor Audio GS10 (which can sound bright). Tonal accuracy is highly impressive even with stock tubes. Bass response is beefy, warm and deep. I truly believe that LC200 is one of the most impressive performers when it comes to mids and vocals, and when you take price into consideration - that is when it becomes really admirable." - Edwin Tan

- Mr Lee KL driving his ProAc mini-monitors
