hi nice video good information tubes are great.dyanco 70 pas 3 was my first system hard to forget that tube sound take care.

I love this little amp, if you use very efficent speakers (or near field listening) it's unbeatable... amazing SQ!

I have this amp paired with Klipsch RP-600M and Vincent SP-31 preamp. It sounds ridiculously good.

I have been into tubes for a long time.(McIntosh, Heathkit,Pilot,Audio Research,Melos, Counterpoint,etc)....however,they were very expensive.i know! But the low priced Riesling A10 that I took a chance on has impressed me!! Out of the box,the amp looked great,but the tubes that were nicely wrapped,the rectifier tube and an input tube were broken.i happen to have tubes on hand,so I changed out the rectifier tube with a Tungsol(usa). reissued Telefunken EL34's,and nos input tubes.What a difference! Get rid of those chinese tubes asap! Beautiful sounding amp!

Some of these amps have point to point, some slightly cheaper ones are pcb. I made sure I got the p2p wiring. Very neatly wired. A beautiful amp that sounds nice....

Ordered mine today. Really curious how it will sound vs my Mark Levinson solid state that does Class A for the first 8ish watts per channel.

The tubes are quite sensitive to magnetic fields and to a vibration. I would put the cage back on, and put the amplifier on a vibration insulated stand.

I ordered tha A-12 and the only complaint I have is it appears that they included a used rectifier tube. Currently, no pun intended, driving a pair Sonus Faber Venere -S tower speakers rated at 4 ohms and it does a decent job at lower listening levels. I also have it connected to a subwoofer which gives me plenty of low end.

bought this amp a year ago.its absolutely fantastic . it sounds as good as primaluna evo i also own.

also you get after sales support one year warranty in canada got fixed in wi usa i cant say enough highly reccomend buying any amp best price china hifi mr lee

Stupid question anyone help please. What Voltage do I need in California I do not know how to decide this I am going to get this if I can figure out Voltage. Please help.

I have the 300b and it it VERY good

Try the KINKI that’s just been reviewed..power and precision

Great video. Thanks. Can you roll the EL34s with KT88s ?

Try pulling the Chinese tubes like I did.NOS input and rectifier tubes are recommended.i put re issue Telefunken EL34's in and the difference was night and day!!!.detail,soundstage,tonal balance made this amp sound like a 3,000 dollar amp.that is critical!!

Nice turntable i have one muy self only in black.

I love mine also. As far tube rolling I have tried the Tung Sol EL34s and found them to be a bit bright. They may need more burn in though. I am expecting a set of Telefunken EL34TKs this week and am looking forward to hearing those. If you are interested I will report back once those burn in. Telefunken does cryogenically treat the tubes and sells matched pairs. Also, I recommend the Schiit Mani phono pre-amp. It sounds very good. You didn't mention what digital sources you used other than the MAC book. If you use Tidal or Qobuz I highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend you try Audirvana. It can manage both your locally stored media and your streaming media in one interface. The key thing is that it is bit perfect playback and sounds remarkable.

I’m interested in how this amp would work with my klipsch rf62-2 towers at 97db sensitivity. Any thoughts?

Hi there, just like you I listen to tube amps years ago. Now 20 years later I wanted to hear that tube amp again. I bought a Nobsound 6p1to start with. I got it and hooked it up but that 6.5 watt just does not do it. Working in a steel plant for years my hearing just is not there . I have some active speakers that put out 1000 watts and it sounds great. I got on a site that said power + power = destruction so I stopped right there . I got on a site that talked about using a mixer and you can make this happen. The guy showed where to come out of it to the speaker but did not say ant thing about how to hook up the amp. Barenger 802. So do I need the mixer or does the 6.5 watt not matter as much?

I made a mistsake , i bought the PCB instead of the PTP version.But rhe sound is awsome for the price 👍

I have watched 3 videos reviewing this amp; no one yet have turned the damn thing on and played music through it!

Another great thing (unlike other integrateds) is you can run an "External Preamp" into the rear if you so wish.. This is because this amp is technically NOT an Integrated amp. There are no preamp tubes. It is a 'Power Amp with Passive Volume control' same as Audion ( Single ended amps) or a Pro PA amp to cite another example... Normally you would never plug an external preamp into another preamp but this in this case is okay if you have a favourite preamp. Just plug it into the rca's set the Reisong/ Boyuu to 12 o'clock - 3 O'clock and control the level from your preamp.

My assumption based on specs is this would pair fairly well with Klipsch Forte IIIs? I don't run very loud and I have a big SS amp that drives them well. I wanna try a tube amp and this seems very low risk based on the cost.

So you're using the "tape out/ record" output from your receiver that's at line level?

Nice video, i was curious about that amp too but afraid 6w wasn't enough for me. I recommand the Atoll IN30 or IN100 (50w into 8ohm or 80w into 8ohm class AB) for the LS50. Great combo. or the integrated tube/solid state Taga harmony hta 700, only 25W into 8ohm but surprisingly powerfull. Works with 12ax7 (jj electronics ones rocks).

How did you go "out" of the Receiver into the Reisong? Does the mitsubishi have a pre out or something? I have an Onkyo 5 channel and can't figure out how to use as a pre amp. Maybe I can't...?

Could I plonk it onto my big solid state amp to basically....... Amplyfy the warm tube sound??

Would this work with Tannoys that have a 88db sensitivity rating?

Forgive my ignorance but what type of connectors are this on your speaker wires?

Consider Emotiva BasX A300 for LS50 😎

I'm new to this and wanted to understand how you connect your Mac to the A10. Does it go directly into the amp o do you run the signal through another device prior? For example, could I hook up my cellphone to the amp with a regular aux cable?

Is it high current?

Birthday gifts for oneself are cool.. And let's be honest, they are often the best.. Karma

...uhhhhh.... China High Fi Audio ....they have a choice of 100vac, 110vac, 115vac and 120vac...???.... what do you pick for USA use????

does this amp have a preamp in it as well?..so can i set it up as turntable to this to speakers?...and keep everything analog?

What valves does it use

Those KEFs want tons of solid-state power.

Thanks for your video great work. I now have one of these and love it. Try these Albums from Tidal if possible (MQA) Blue Moon / Dean Martin 'Dream with Dean' 1964 (Amazing) and Leonard Cohen 'Ten New Songs' / My Secret Life (Also amazing).

I owned these amp since 4 month and share to all of you whose have plan to rolling tube that dont waste money to change pre tube to russian tube, replace 6550 or kt66 88 the same situation cause of this amp designed to use EL34. Both Chinese 6n2j and el34 stock tobe are good. Only one tube you need to replace its voltage tube, i recomment use gz3r or 5u4g from USA. For anybody need more bass, change both interstage cap Philip 0.22 to Mondorf 0.47mf will satisfy your target.

I have a Pioneer SA 8500II amplifier. Could I use the A10 with this? I'm a newbie to this tube gear stuff.

Would have been nice to hear it

hehe. What is it with this amp? It has received 3 reviews this year. I have Reisong/Boyuu's 300B and 2a3 amps. Both are just a tiny bit better than my First Watt SIT3 which I just sold. I just DO NOT LIKE SS anymore. These are my studio amps, not my 'real' amps, but hey. If i had never purchased a First Watt amp, and had it sitting next to a Reisong amp, for the cost....Reisong wins hands down. Oh....ONLY after tube and cap changes. I put Dueland caps in mine and some fantastic tubes. Hashimoto's prices have gone up due to the virus, if not, I would put some Hashimoto output trans. in both of these amps (but these transformers are more than the amp itself) :D. My others already have full Hashi stock :D Oh, if you get flea watt amps any time soon, Omega speakers are great. Getting a very HI-FI quality sound with my Triod Lab and Finale gear with Omegas. If your tube amp is on the newer sound (bright/lean) don't do the Omegas.

IT'S NOT ALL GOOD. I have to chime in on the A10. I bought one ( $575 canadian), delivered from Amazon / March '23) after seeing several reviews - all pretty positive. My first impressions were NOT good. I found the pros to be 1) its build quality and design and 2) a midrange that has a nice immediacy and almost physical presence like you could scoop up the voice in a butterfly net. It was a new and enjoyable presentation of sound. I planned on using my DAC with it, so put it inline for my assessment. BUT the cons were many. The lower midrange rise in the unit's voicing is simply too much. It clouds and blurs most elements in this range neutralizing its pro of midrange texture and presence. It's like bad food on a pretty plate. Yes, speakers play an obvious role ( I have M.A. Bronze 7's) but the highs I used to enjoy were rolled off so badly that I questioned if I had blown my tweeters somehow. Occasionally a little sheen would poke through but it felt restrained. I found the bass embarrassing. Loose, sloppy, some notes resolved and others vanished. It felt incredibly incompetent in this region. Once in a while it was interesting depending on the source but as for THIS bass being THE bass I wanted to live with til I die... not a chance. It had NONE of the grip or punch or even consistency of a solid state. THE GOOD NEWS.... The A10 makes a GREAT POWER AMP. It would be ideal if the preamp section could be bypassed but I simply run it full open and use the preamp for control. So I use a DAC between my CD player and AMC amp. The AMC has wonderfully clean and musical tone controls and shows little difference in the tone-bypass mode in terms of cleanliness. I listen most times around 85-90 db and have tone pots set at about 2 O'clock. This combination is STELLAR. I have the bass grip and tone sweetening (and input switching) from the AMC and the A10 adds back the tactile lead vocals and realistic timbre of the instruments. Detail, air, texture and all the performance subtleties are brought to life. There's no denying the effect of tube-related harmonics. This set up really accents the PEOPLE and TALENT behind the music. Dynamics, tonal balance and realistic timbre are all there. So in the end I can't say the A10 is a great integrated amp. I think it has considerable deficiencies. I CAN say it can be a STELLAR power amp. 12 total watts or not... it's the closest thing to "musicians in the room" as I've experienced. I think my only future HiFi purchases will be tubes, just to experiment with different sound signatures.
