R800i Series

Integrated Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier

The R-800i series uses two 300B tubes to drive various vacuum tubes for single-ended class A amplification. It comprises a dual triode ECC83S and two 6SN7 signal amplification and driving tubes. The pre-stage part employs a 274B tube for rectification, allowing each channel to achieve an output power of 15W/30W/50W.

R800i – 211

The R-800i – 211 uses two 300B tubes to drive 211 vacuum tubes for single-ended class A amplification. It comprises a dual triode ECC83S and two 6SN7 signal amplification and driving tubes. The pre-stage part employs a 274B tube for rectification, allowing each channel to achieve an output power of 15W.

R800i – 845

The R-800i – 845 uses two 300B tubes to drive 845 vacuum tubes for single-ended class A amplification. It comprises a dual triode ECC83S and two 6SN7 signal amplification and driving tubes. The pre-stage part employs a 274B tube for rectification, allowing each channel to achieve an output power of 30W.

R800i – 805

The R-800i – 805 uses two 300B tubes to drive 805 vacuum tubes for single-ended class A amplification. It comprises a dual triode ECC83S and two 6SN7 signal amplification and driving tubes. The pre-stage part employs a 274B tube for rectification, allowing each channel to achieve an output power of 50W.

This series features a dual power transformer design, with the filament using an EI-type transformer and the high voltage employing a toroidal transformer design. The output transformers use two wide-frequency EI types to achieve a sweet sound. It incorporates a dual protection circuit design, an all-aluminum alloy body for the utmost refinement, handcrafted point-to-point soldering, an external, independent BIAS ADJ current monitoring meter, a 30-second mute delay function, ALPS motorized potentiometers, an all-aluminum alloy remote control, and balanced pure post-stage input functionality, allowing for independent pre-stage signal input.

Vacuum Tube of R800i Series

We use only high-quality vacuum tubes for our products!

In the preamp part of this R800i series, we use a Czech made ECC83S and two Soviet-made 6SN7 vacuum tubes; for the rectification part, we use our specially customized 274B vacuum tubes with a filament design mimicking the mold screen hook of Western Electric; for the driving and power amp parts, we utilize two of our specially customized 300B vacuum tubes, also mimicking the Western Electric mold screen, and two 805/845/211 vacuum tubes for Class A single-ended power amplification. Every component is meticulously hand-wired and soldered, offering effective isolation and shielding, and the body is finished with full aluminum alloy body. This way, perfection is more fully achieved.
