The original version of Trifecta was a limited edition IEM with only 333 units made, and it was the best IEM you couldn't actually get your hands on at the time. Trifecta delivers an almost open-back, over-ear headphone-like sound in a 3-driver IEM.
Campfire Audio looks to reinvent one of their best flagship IEMs ever with their 2023 Spectral Collection which gives you the same Trifecta design and tuning but with a fresh visual narrative featuring three new color schemes. The core of the IEM is still those triple threat 10mm ALDC dynamic drivers all aimed directly at the center point of an equilateral triangle. It’s a truly unique design with incredible results.
Trifecta’s sound is powerful and meaty, with a hard hitting bass, and thick lower mids. The rest of the midrange is somewhat recessed, with somewhat of a warm V-shaped tuning adding some treble near the top, but without a lot of air and extension. Along with that you get a very over-ear headphone like soundstage, and a highly dynamic sound.
Ascend to the ethereal realms with Trifecta Chrome Sky, a sonic postcard from a serene landscape of floating chrome and gentle, light clouds. With its sleek design and reflective surfaces, Chrome Sky mirrors the endless possibilities of your musical journey, capturing the essence of a dreamlike skyline in every note. Let the cool clarity and silvered tones guide you through an auditory daydream.

The Reference 2023 speakers are manufactured with the utmost care at the company headquarters in Weilrod, Germany. Thanks to the use of first-class materials and components, consistent and precise quality is guaranteed. The high-quality walnut veneer is refined using a special sanding technique and matte lacquer treatment. 12 layers of lacquer are required for the high-gloss black version with "piano finish" alone. Layer by layer, the cabinets are lacquered, sanded and finally polished.
Powerful Elegance
The edge-free design of the Reference 3 not only ensures a modern design but is the basis for perfect sound development, characterized by authentic spatial imaging and staggering music. 2 woofers with high-strength BCT cones made of black ceramic tungsten and the large midrange driver made of the same material ensure excellent dynamic characteristics in the perfectly tuned 3-way speaker. In the BCT diaphragm, 25% of the molecular structure of an aluminum cone is converted into a ceramic structure and refined with tungsten and additional metal particles. As a result, the diaphragms achieve a perfect stiffness-to-weight ratio and turn black on the front and back surfaces during the creation process. In addition, the specially shaped black midrange ceramic cone in TCC technology stabilizes the membrane and reduces unwanted resonances.
Sweeping Design
The 43" high Reference 3 are powerful speakers in elegantly shaped cabinets. Their curved side panels, gently sloping curved tops and round baffles create a flowing, harmonious design that skillfully conceals the large cabinet volumes. The newly designed base is not only a stable foundation for the speaker - it also forms the bass guide which radiates low-frequency tones throughout in equal parts. Thanks to the newly developed asymmetrical cover rings, the 4 loudspeaker drivers sit flush with the surface and without visible screw connections in the baffle. In addition, the cover rings act as waveguides, optimizing sound dispersion in the midrange and treble range. 4 individual, acoustically transparent and form-fitting fabric covers nestle against the baffle with magnetic adhesion.
Perfect Contact
The Reference 3's high-end binding posts come from established German manufacturer WBT. The low-mass WBT nextgen™ binding posts enable single, bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The lower mass of the binding posts reduces eddy currents and ensures a superior sound image. If you do not want to use the bi-wiring or bi-amping mode, high-quality hard-gold-plated copper bridges are included.

Masterpiece
The Reference 3K ranks third in the Reference K Hierarchy. Slightly smaller and less heavy than its larger siblings, the Reference 3K nevertheless offers everything a hi-fi heart desires: the incomparably good Canton sound and a noble appearance. The heavy cabinet with perfect surface finish, the technically superior equipment and the elegant design make it unmistakably clear that the Reference 3K is a speaker of the very highest quality. In the slim 3-way speakers, the two ceramic tungsten bass drivers provide unleashed dynamics and enormous low bass. However, thanks to the low-loss wave surrounds that clamp the midrange and woofer and the superbly resolving ceramic tweeter, the Reference 3Ks also impress with their excellent fine dynamics at low volumes. The acoustically optimized enclosures with the characteristic bow shape and organically curved side walls set standards in terms of radiation behavior, stability and low resonance.
A Worthy Appearance
Canton develops and manufactures the loudspeaker systems of the Reference K Series in their factory in Weilrod in the Taunus region of Germany. This is the only way to maintain the necessary quality standards, minimize tolerances, eliminate defects, and keep the high sound requirements for their top products. The Reference 3K cabinets are made of high-quality multi-layer laminate. In an elaborate special process, the characteristic bow shape of the speaker is milled from solid material.

Acoustically optimized two-piece fabric covers, which are elegantly held in place on the baffle by magnetic fasteners, round off the elegant appearance.
Our Best Materials
The Reference 3K benefits sonically from the solid, multi-stiffened cabinets made of multi-layer laminate, which keep sound-diminishing resonances away from the speaker drivers used. In the low and midrange, Canton uses the most technically advanced drivers. They take advantage of the excellent material properties of aluminum-ceramic cones refined with tungsten particles, which are characterized by their enormous stiffness combined with high, internal damping... all this with very low weight and extended frequency range. The excellent 1" dome tweeter with aluminum oxide ceramic diaphragm is used in the high frequency range. Sound-optimized crossover components and the highly effective base design with Bass Guide ensure the highest possible fidelity.
The Reference 3K is equipped with a high-quality biwiring/ biamping connection terminal, allowing the low and mid-high ranges to be driven separately with different amplifiers or with specialized cables. 24k gold-plated, stable screw terminals with a capacity for cable cross-sections of up to 10mm2, ensure optimum signal transmission.

Fully of Shapes
Immerse yourself in a new era of sound with the Reference 5 and let the medium-sized floor-standing speakers inspire you. The perfectly formed design, in line with "Form Follows Function", makes no compromises. Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, they are bursting with resolution and playfulness and offer excellent sound. The Reference 5, like all Reference models, are manufactured in Germany with the utmost care and precision. This and the use of first-class materials and components, ensure a long-lasting and reliable quality. The speakers shine with irrepressible dynamics and excellent stage imaging - for a lively and natural sound of your music.
Modern technology
For the completely newly conceived Reference Series enclosures, round baffles were designed for the first time, which are manufactured on a 5-axis CNC milling machine specially provided for this purpose. The elaborately curved side walls, bottoms and lids provide enormous stability and significantly reduced natural resonance behavior of the speaker enclosure. As a result, the Reference 5 offer a very homogeneous dispersion behavior and an authentic staggering of the music. The Reference 5 speakers feature two 174 mm BCT woofers equipped with black ceramic tungsten cones. These work in perfect harmony with the large enclosure volume and efficient bass guide system to deliver contour-sharp low end and rich deep bass. The equally sized BCT midrange driver, housed in its own enclosure, contributes to a natural and authentic sound image with finely resolved mids. The sound spectrum is rounded off by the 25 mm BC tweeter with black aluminum oxide ceramic cone, which ensures detailed and homogeneous highs.
New diaphragms
The midrange and woofer systems of all Reference loudspeakers are characterized by their advanced BCT cones. In the BCT diaphragm, 25 percent of the molecular structure of an aluminum cone is converted into a ceramic structure and refined with tungsten and additional metal particles. As a result, the diaphragms achieve a perfect stiffness-to-weight ratio and turn black on the front and back surfaces during the creation process. In addition, the specially shaped black midrange ceramic cone in TCC technology stabilizes the membrane and reduces unwanted resonances. This is how we achieve precise and distortion-free reproduction. To optimize the sound, our latest generation Wave Beading technology is used in the Reference 5. This ensures a smooth transient response even at high volumes and large diaphragm excursions.
Contact
The Reference 5 speakers are equipped with high-quality WBT nextgen™ connectors and allow bi-wiring and bi-amping. These connectors are the basis for excellent sound quality and provide long-term stable contact. If you do not want to use the bi-wiring or bi-amping mode, high-quality hard-gold-plated copper bridges are included. The Reference 5s feature controls on the speaker terminal for Canton's RC (Room Compensation) technology. With this level adjustment, the sound pressure levels of the midrange and tweeter can be sensitively adjusted in 1.5 decibel steps. This allows the speakers to be optimally adapted to personal listening tastes and room acoustics.

Enormous Sound Potential
The Reference 5K relies on the same features and technical configuration as the Reference 3K, but differs in that it has a modified appearance with an even slimmer cabinet and smaller overall dimensions. With a height of 43", it is nevertheless a very impressive floorstanding loudspeaker, with top-quality technology and the very finest Canton sound. The noble surface finish is sheer intoxicating, making the well-proportioned Canton Reference 5K an eye-catcher in any living environment. In the slim 3-way speakers, the two ceramic tungsten bass drivers provide unleashed dynamics and enormous low bass. However, thanks to the low-loss wave surrounds that clamp the midrange and woofer and the superbly resolving ceramic tweeter, the Reference 5Ks also impress with their excellent fine dynamics at low volumes. The acoustically optimized enclosures with the curved side walls and rounded edges provide ideal radiation characteristics.
Noble Appearance
Canton develops and manufactures the loudspeaker systems of the Reference K Series in their factory in Weilrod in the Taunus region of Germany. This is the only way to maintain necessary quality standards, minimize tolerances, eliminate defects, and keep the high sound requirements for their top products. The Reference 5K cabinets are made of high-quality, multi-layer laminate and undergo a complex finishing process: the high-gloss "Piano Finish" surface sealant is applied, sanded and elaborately polished in 12 work steps. It gives the Reference 5K cabinet an overwhelming depth effect.
As an alternative, Canton offers the Reference 5K in an even more refined and visually truly impressive variant: the cabinets in cherry real wood veneer with "Piano Finish" are pure craftsmanship and inspire with their lively grain and warm color tone. Acoustically optimized fabric covers, which elegantly hold on the baffle by magnetic fastening, round off the noble appearance sovereign.
Great Sound Art
The Reference 5K benefits immensely in terms of sound from the solid, multi-stiffened cabinets made of multilayer laminate, which keep sound-reducing resonances away from the loudspeaker drivers used. In the low and midrange, Canton used their most technically advanced drivers, taking advantage of the excellent material properties of aluminum-ceramic cones refined with tungsten particles, and all with very low weight and extended frequency range. The excellent 1" dome tweeter with aluminum oxide ceramic diaphragm is used in the high frequency range.
Sound-optimized crossover components and the highly effective base design with Bass Guide ensure the highest possible fidelity. The Reference 5K is equipped with a high-quality biwiring/ biamping connection terminal, allowing the low and mid-high ranges to be driven separately with different amplifiers or with specialized cables. 24 carat gold-plated, stable screw terminals with a capacity for cable cross-sections of up to 10 mm2, ensure optimum signal transmission. The levels for the midrange and treble can be finely adjusted at the connection terminal, depending on personal preferences or room acoustic conditions.

Sound Wonder
Our knowledge from over 50 years of speaker construction combined in compact and acoustically pristine speakers - the Reference 9. Equipped with the technologies of a floorstanding speaker, they offer the potential to fill even larger rooms thanks to the large mid-bass driver. The bass guide, used for the first time in a compact speaker, is an integral part of the speaker base and allows uncomplicated placement on sideboards or freely in the room with the ideally matching speaker stands "Reference LS". Thanks to precise tuning in the laboratory and listening room and the use of high-quality crossover components, the 2-way speakers offer great sound from compact cabinets.
Modern technology
The compact Reference 9 loudspeakers feature one 174 mm BCT cone per loudspeaker, which offers high rigidity and outstanding internal damping at a low dead weight. The BCT cone enables precise and accurate reproduction of the low and midrange. The perfect playing partner for the bass-midrange driver is the 25 mm BC tweeter, which shines with its detailed and transparent reproduction and impressively underpins the excellent sound quality of the Reference 9. A large part of the excellent sound of the speaker is the precisely designed crossover, which is equipped with hand-selected components. The Reference 9 are equipped with WBT nextgen™ connection terminals, which enable a contact-safe and loss-free connection between the speakers and the amplifier. The connection terminal is equipped with our RC technology, which allows for sensitive tweeter adjustment in 1.5 decibel increments. The level adjustment allows the compact speakers to be adapted to listening preferences or to have a corrective effect on the existing room acoustics.
Design
We develop and manufacture our Reference loudspeaker systems at our factory in Weilrod in the Taunus region of Germany. To achieve the best possible sound development from compact cabinets, we have developed the Reference 9 cabinets from scratch. They feature generous radii on the side panels, bottoms and lids, and have a round baffle to realize the greatest possible edge clearance of the cabinet. This design concept reduces diffraction effects at the edges and contributes significantly to optimizing the speaker's sound dispersion. A computer-optimized chamber system and the sophisticated internal stiffening prevent standing waves and sound-damaging cabinet resonances. The high-gloss "Black Piano" surface sealant is applied in twelve layers, sanded and elaborately polished. It gives the Reference 9's cabinet an overwhelming sense of depth. As an alternative, the speakers are available in the "White Satin" finish. Acoustically optimized fabric covers adhere magnetically to the baffle for each chassis individually and round off the noble appearance of the compact Reference 9 sovereign.
Ideal combination
Thanks to their superior technical features, the compact Reference 9s fill even large rooms with music effortlessly. To achieve this perfectly, you should place your speakers on the matching "Reference LS" stands from Canton. The Reference 9 are also ideal as surround and effect speakers in a large Reference home cinema set-up. Together with the visually and acoustically perfectly matched Reference Center, the powerful active subwoofer from the Reference series and a Reference floorstanding speaker of your choice, you can create an impressive multi-channel home cinema system that leaves nothing to be desired.

For harmonious integration into your living space, we offer the Reference Center in two different cabinet finishes: White Satin and Black Piano. The satin finish of the white version gives the speakers a modern and timeless appearance. The glossy surface of the "Black Piano" version captivates with an enormous depth effect, which is achieved by applying and polishing twelve layers of lacquer.
Superior technology
In the Reference Center, which is 70 centimeters wide and 27 centimeters high with base, three potent speaker drivers provide immersive sound. Two 174 mm BCT drivers and a 25 mm BC dome tweeter are responsible for the sound in the 3-way design. The black BCT cones of the midrange and woofers provide high rigidity and good internal damping despite their light weight. In addition, the midrange driver, which is installed in its own enclosure, uses a cone with TCC technology. These measures allow for precise and accurate reproduction of the bass and midrange with minimal distortion. The BC tweeter contributes to the center's detailed and transparent reproduction. All speaker drivers use the latest generation Canton Wave surrounds to enable low-distortion reproduction at any volume.
Sound tuning
The Reference Center scores not only with its excellent sound, but also with the use of high-quality components and equipment. For the Reference Center, we use WBT nextgen™ connection terminals made in Germany. They ensure a contact-safe and loss-free transmission of the audio signal. Thanks to our RC technology, the terminals also enable sensitive adjustment of the high and mid tones in 1.5 decibel steps. This level adjustment allows you to tailor the sound reproduction according to your individual preferences or the room acoustics and achieve an optimal listening experience.

Equipment and technology
The Reference Sub is a front-firing subwoofer with the support of a downfire passive radiator. In order to work precisely and confidently at any volume level, the 308 mm drivers are suspended in triple folded wave surrounds of the latest generation. Compared to conventional surrounds, the wave surrounds allow for much greater excursion and reduce sound distortion. The connection to an amplifier or AV receiver is made possible by the high- or low-level inputs. The volume level, crossover frequency and phase can be continuously adjusted on the powerful active module on the back of the subwoofer. The technical equipment of the 37kg Reference Subwoofer is completed by an automatic on/off switch.

Canton Townus Series: Timeless and Elegant
Canton's Townus speaker series was created for the urban lifestyle, from the heart of the 'Taunus.' They are proud to present the "Townus", with which we would like to appeal to all people for whom timeless design and high-quality appeal are important. In reference to the roots and the location of our company headquarters, in the middle of the Hessian Taunus, we have created the same sounding name Townus for the new loudspeaker models. The newly created Townus series impresses with its timeless, elegant design and its high-quality materials - ideal for urban people who value design and quality. In the word creation Townus, we also refer to the connection between the modern and pulsating life in a town and the rather quiet and rural Taunus, where the creators of this timeless and modern speaker series have their origins.
Clear Design
Restrainedly elegant, with harmonious proportions and rounded cabinet edges, the 2.5-way Townus 30 speaker catches the eye. The elaborately finished surfaces and the screwless integration of the drivers into the baffle make the Townus 30 centre speaker a jewel in any living room. Its rounded cabinet edges not only give the Townus 50 an elegant look - they also improve the centre's sound dispersion. Flawless surfaces in silk-matt or high-gloss lacquers, as well as fine real-wood veneers with a perfect finish, underline the premium claim of the new Townus speaker series. Further visual highlights are the high-quality aluminium rings of the loudspeaker chassis, which are manufactured in the steamless diamond-cut process, and the fabric panels, rounded at the corners, which adhere magnetically to the baffles.
Always in the spotlight
The Townus 30 bass-reflex speaker features a timeless, elegant design and excellent sound characteristics that make it the centerpiece of a powerful home theatre system. Powerful, deep bass, well-balanced tuning and great dynamics make it the perfect centre speaker - with crystal-clear dialogue. Townus 30 is equipped with high-quality technical components: Guarantees for the well-known good Canton sound and an enormously high reliability. A 154 mm bass-midrange driver with titanium cone, suspended in the long-stroke, low-distortion wave surrounds, and a 25 mm dome tweeter made of Aluminium oxide ceramic with precisely calculated waveguide deliver ideal sound dispersion up to 40,000 Hertz.
A Strong Team
You can expand the Townus 30 with other models from the Townus series to create a powerful multi-channel home cinema system. The main speakers are our flagship Townus 90s, and the Townus 50 centre to complete a surround system. For depth and pressure in the bass, as well as an increase in overall dynamics, the Townus Sub 12 subwoofer is added. Here, the high power amplifier output and 300 mm titanium subwoofer chassis ensure impressive performance for movies and music. The smart electronic component Smart Amp 5.1 harmonises ideally with our Townus loudspeaker models, allowing you to take off into the wireless world of music streaming.

In the word creation Townus, we also refer to the connection between the modern and pulsating life in a town and the rather quiet and rural Taunus, where the creators of this timeless and modern speaker series have their origins.
Townus 90: Perfect in Form
Our Townus 90 3-way floor-standing loudspeakers captivate with timeless elegance thanks to their discreetly elegant enclosures and fine surfaces. Harmonious proportions, rounded cabinet edges and the screwless integration of the drivers into the slim baffle make our Townus 90 a jewel in any living ambience. The rounded cabinet edges not only give the Townus 90 an elegant look - they also improve the sound dispersion of the speakers. Flawless surfaces in silk matt or high-gloss lacquers as well as fine real wood veneers with a perfect finish underline the premium claim of the new Townus speaker series. Further visual highlights are the high-quality aluminium rings of the loudspeaker chassis, which are manufactured using the Seamless Diamond Cut process, and the fabric panels, rounded at the corners, which adhere magnetically to the baffles. Last but not least, the beautifully shaped wooden base with four metal feet serves as a solid foundation for the slim floorstanding speakers. Hidden from the listener's view, the large bass reflex port in the cabinet base extends the frequency response downwards. The downfire arrangement of the bass reflex port acoustically stimulates the room evenly - precise, deep bass without any tendency to boom is the desired result.
Design and Technology
The solidly built cabinets of the Townus 90 three-way floor-standing loudspeakers are reinforced several times on the inside and equipped with high-quality internal cabling. Strategically placed damping material inside the cabinets and selected crossover components of the best quality optimise the sound of the speakers, which weigh about 24 kilograms. The four drivers in the slim Townus 90 loudspeakers are state of the art and provide the renowned good Canton sound. Three 174 mm drivers, with titanium diaphragms, enable dynamic bass and detailed, powerful mids. Thanks to the bass drivers with stiff and low-distortion double cones and Wave Beading technology, the Townus 90 still play precisely and calmly even at high sound levels. In combination with our patented DC technology, the 174 mm bass duo in the downfire bass reflex cabinet reproduces powerful and precise bass without the cones of the bass speakers deflecting uncontrollably at low tones. The tried-and-tested 25 mm dome tweeter made of Aluminium oxide ceramic shines with its detailed and accurate sound. A precisely calculated waveguide for ideal sound radiation and coupling optimizes the speaker's reproduction, up to 40,000 Hertz.

Modern Look, Sublime Sound
Canton has redesigned the look and technology of their Vento premium speaker series. Thanks to the modern design with discreetly curved side panels, rounded cabinet edges, and high-quality surfaces with a perfect finish, the new Vento speakers have a very self-assured appearance. The harmoniously proportioned premium speakers offer a perfect balance between timeless elegance and powerful performance. This makes the Vento models universally applicable - they are an enrichment for the most diverse living spaces.
The flagship speaker in the series, the Vento 100, looks elegant and refined, despite its impressive cabinet size. Thanks to its excellent technical components, the large 3-way bass reflex floor-standing speaker inspires with its stupendous dynamics and makes the hearts of audiophile music fans beat faster. The Canton Vento 100 impresses with its incomparably good Canton sound, maximum durability, and finest workmanship.
Titanium Graphite: Technology That Makes the Music
Canton's flagship Vento 100 speakers are equipped with newly developed midrange and woofer range drivers. They are visibly distinctive and have an understated elegance due to their matte, shimmering titanium-graphite diaphragms of which give Canton's Vento speakers a noble appearance. They nestle seamlessly into the high-gloss lacquered baffles without any visible screw connections. The double-cone technology along with the wave surrounds ensure impressive dynamic capabilities.
The new driver technology is based on the previous titanium drivers: their surface is treated in a complex chemical process and acoustically brought to a new level. The aim was to minimize or completely eliminate the partial vibrations that damage the sound. With less weight, the new titanium-graphite chassis are stiffer and have better damping. Particularly impressive is the fact that these drivers do not exhibit any partial vibrations in the entire useful range and crossover range. In addition, the new drivers work as perfect piston transducers and thus offer ideal conditions for reproducing acoustic signals one-to-one, without losses.
Result: the speakers sound tremendously dynamic and wonderfully relaxed simultaneously.
Noble Enclosures for the Best Sound
The new cabinets not only look high quality, they also have to meet Canton's rigid technical requirements. The revised design ensures that more interior volume is available to tune the speakers with more bandwidth in the low frequency range. As a result, the new Vento speakers perform with even more contour and cleanliness. In addition, the sharp-edged cabinet radii, the modified base, and the new basic shape ensure less sound interference from the cabinet itself. The newly designed plinth makes the Vento 100 appear to "float", giving the stately floorstanding speaker a light and elegant appearance. In addition, the base design ensures that the speaker is particularly uncritical in its placement.
Thanks to the different cabinet finishes available, the modernly designed and timelessly elegant Vento loudspeaker models feel at home in many interior design styles while meeting the highest standards of workmanship and touch quality.

Titanium Graphite: High-quality Technology
The Vento 20 relies on the outstanding technical properties of Canton's developed drivers with titanium-graphite diaphragms. Due to the matte, shimmering titanium-graphite diaphragms, the speakers are characterized by their restrained elegance. The drivers nestle seamlessly into the high-gloss lacquered baffles without any visible screw connections.

At the same time, the cabinets of the new Ventos meet the highest standards of workmanship. The premium speakers are available in white and black "high gloss" lacquers.
Eyes on the Details
The speaker terminals in the new Ventos have been redesigned visually and technically to ensure maximum conductivity. The solid screw terminals, in single or bi-wiring design, hold cable cross-sections of up to 10mm² and offer both banana plug or fork bridge speaker connections. The upgraded terminals have a special high-quality and conductive material with new terminals and a finer thread. As a result, reference-worthy contacting is achieved in the Vento series for perfect sound development and long-term stable contact to connected amps.
The innovations of the Vento series continue with the high-quality fabric covers. The straight panels at the top and discreetly curved panels at the bottom provide an unobtrusive, calm appearance. Thanks to the flat design, the acoustically neutral fabric panels nestle harmoniously on the baffles. All Vento speakers are equipped with inconspicuous black fabric covers that do not affect the sound of the premium speakers.

Cayin engineers meticulously designed the gain circuit, independently adjusting the working current of each stage of the vacuum tubes, to allow the Soul 170HA to fully display the unique rich tones of single-ended Class A design.
The Soul 170HA provides users with an immersive audio experience, maximizing musicality without scarifying on technicality.
Single-ended Voltage Amplification
After carefully evaluating different alternatives, Cayin decided to use two indirectly heated dual triode 6SN7 to take care of the voltage amplification given its medium (amplification factor) and low internal resistance.
The JJ 6SN7 is impressive for its low noise and balanced tonal balance across the audible frequency ranges. The sound performance is dynamic, with rich details, and offers excellent musical expressiveness.
Outboard Power Supply Design Empowering with Ample Energy
Physically separated 2 box design, the outboard power supply delivers clean, low-noise electrical power to the amplification circuit in a separated chassis independently. It also provides better heat dissipation even when stacked up, allowing the users to place the amplifiers with flexibility.
Dual power supply transformers deliver high and low voltage separately, minimize electrical interference, and safeguard clean power to the amplifier.
Multi-stage tube-regulated power supply circuit feeds power to different amplification stages independently. It can minimize ripple effect, eliminate circuit interference, and enhance circuit performance of both the voltage and current amplification.
The separated high-rigidity chassis and damping mounts absorb shock and vibrations effectively, isolating noise interference caused by transformer vibrations and magnetic leakage to achieve a higher SNR.
The Indispensable Power Supply Link
Heavy-weighted Umbilical Cable
Custom designed silver-plated 6N copper wire to connect between the outboard power supply and main amplification chassis. Separate high and low voltage transmission, with a total of two cables.

Fool-proof Quick Release Connection
Quick-release connectors from the aviation industry are used at both ends of the cables for connection.
8-pin for high voltage power transmission, and 12-pin for low voltage, making sure the output from multi-stage power supply will feed to different amplification stages independently.
Connect and disconnect in seconds, and you'll always get it right.
Tube Regulated Power Supply
Multi-stage tube-regulated power supply circuit feeds power to different amplification stages independently.
Soul 170HA employs 2x GZ34S rectifier tube from JJ to handle the driver stage high-voltage supply, providing a tube presentation that is more euphonic and nuanced.
The rectifier tube converts the incoming power source to DC, providing clean power with minimum interference for the circuit.
Unlike output tubes or driver tubes, the rectifier tubes convert signals without a heavy lifted load and can last for years without deterioration.
Since they are not involved in audio amplification directly, there are no matching requirements and they can be replaced on a per-piece basis.
The Flesh and Blood of Tube Amplifier
Transformer Coupled Balance Driven
Soul 170HA is a transformer-coupled single-ended Class A amplifier. The output from the KT170 will drive a pair of output transformers that support both headphone and speaker outputs.
The vacuum tube amplification circuit of Soul 170HA is operated in a single-ended, the output transformers provide an alternative phase and compose a balanced output, enabling a balanced driven from a single-ended vacuum tube circuit.
Custom Designed Audio Grade Transformers
Transformers play a vital role in Cayin's amplifiers. The choice of transformer core, specification of copper wire in different parts of winding, and the winding instruction affect the performance and sound signature of their amplifiers.
Cayin designs and winds all the power supply and output transformers in-house. This becomes their critical core competence and it allows the engineers to have total freedom in specifying the transformers for the circuitry they developed.
They consistently use high-purity copper enameled wire in the design of toroidal power supply transformers to reduce magnetic noise effectively.
The custom-designed wide-frequency response EI-type output transformer uses a high-quality Z11 silicon steel core, to minimize signal loss and enhance fidelity.
Cayin's shielding packaging technology and circuit protection measures further protect the machine from noise interference and extend the product's lifespan.

Ultralinear Mode A tap is added to the primary winding of the output transformers and connected to the KT170 screen grid, providing higher voltage and changing the operating state of the power tubes. Open, bold, with great momentum. The soundstage will open up, suitable for orchestral, OST, and music with wide dynamic range.
Dual Tonality
Adjust the operating current of the two KT170 tubes synchronously
Dynamic Dense, fast and authoritative, prominent dynamic with contrast. Forceful and exciting quality.
Soft Relaxing, delicate and peaceful, revealing low-level details. Engaging and involving quality.
Impedance Matched Headphone Output
In-house designed output transformers provides three sets of impedance matched outputs to handle different headphone loadings accordingly:
Low (L): 8Ω-64Ω Mid (M): 65Ω-250Ω High (H): 251Ω-600Ω
Matching headphone impedance should produce a natural sound with well-defined bass reproduction. Planar headphones are more sensitive to impedance matching than dynamic headphones. Users can try out different settings after they are familiar with the sound signature of properly matched output.
A higher impedance setting will deliver higher output power because they are driving a harder load. It is completely different from gain control of a solid-state amplifier.
Application Oriented Output
The 4-pin XLR output is a full-fetched balanced output but the 4.4mm headphone output is optimized for wider range of applications, including high-sensitivity portable headphones and IEMs:
The 4.4mm phone out optimization has taken low-impedance high-sensitive headphones and IEMs into consideration. Cayin reduced the output and improved the S/N ratio, making sure the Soul 170HA is relevant to a very wide range of personal audio applications.
The lower output of 4.4mm phone out can also serve as a fallback when the system suffers from unidentified hum and interference.
Dynamic Auto Bias
The Soul 170HA adopts an integrated bias servo circuit design. When replacing vacuum tubes, there is no need for manual adjustment, as the Dynamic Auto Bias servo circuit handles it.
It precisely controls the power tubes, ensuring better compatibility with the amplifier. The innovative circuit design enhances safety and prolongs the lifespan of the vacuum tubes.
0dB Gain Difference
The volume control circuit comprises a custom ALPS carbon film potentiometer and a JRC MUSES72320V electronic volume chips.
The ALPS volume potentiometer acts as a physical motion sampler, and the MCU controls the two low-noise low-distortion electronic controlled resistor ladder analogue volume chips to achieve 128 levels of high precision volume control, making it more stable and reliable than traditional potentiometers. The 170HA's high-precision volume control circuit ensures a 0dB gain difference between the two channels.
Comprehensive Protection for Ideal Performance
The Soul 170HA uses an MCU to manage the entire headphone amplifier, incorporating multiple protection circuits and startup sequences to provide comprehensive protection from power on, playback, to power off. This safeguards the vacuum tubes while ensuring the amplifier always operates in an optimal state.
Performance Driven Design, Top of the Line Configuration
Hand-matched Vacuum Tubes
The vacuum tubes used in the Soul 170HA are manually tested and matched. They undergo strict performance testing, a 48-hour aging process, final measurements after installed on amplifier, and listening test to ensure high standards of channel uniformity.
Classic Point-to-Point Wielding
The entire circuitry is hand-wired using point-to-point wielding, this is time-consuming but ensures the shortest signal path with low signal loss. It also isolates audio signal, grounding, and high voltage power from cross-infecting each other, preventing mutual interference and ensuring the performance and reliability of the Soul 170HA.
High-end AudioCapX PPFXS Coupling Capacitors effectively isolate DC, improve the accuracy and stability of audio transmission, and enhance overall sound quality.

2yu is a Digital Interface that Connects with 2go to create a Network Bridge for Use with a DAC, DAC-equipped Device, or the Hugo M Scaler
Compact size, ideal for multi-room home installations
Micro USB powered
From Chord Electronics
2yu is an advanced designed-for-2go digital interface enabling 2go as a fully-fledged standalone streamer, ready to be used with external DACs and devices, including the 768-kHz upscaling Hugo M Scaler. 2yu connects directly to 2go to add TOSLINK optical S/PDIF, coaxial and BNC (both 75 ohms) digital outputs, plus a cleverly integrated USB-A output.
2yu boasts 2,000 MIPS (million instructions per second) of processing power, an integrated sample rate converter, plus a low-jitter audio phase lock loop. Highly flexible in its potential applications, 2go with 2yu is also ideal for installers wishing to create a discreet remote Roon streaming solution: the duo can be wired into an Ethernet port to provide streaming to a system in any room. 2yu alone can also be used with PCs and Macs via USB to create a high-quality USB-to-digital-audio convertor for audio.
Like 2go, 2yu is also hand-made in the UK using aircraft-grade aluminum and the same high-quality manufacturing processes inherent in all Chord Electronics products. Like the Hugo 2, 2yu features four polychromatic spherical controls governing output selection, power, mute and dim functions.
