BOYUURANGE MT-34 MKII

1-year update: everything is still working completely without problems. Still impressed with the sound quality and value. Don’t hesitate if you’re on the fence! Unless you have inefficient speakers, say under 90 db, that require lots of power, this will do the job. Original review: Very pleased with this amp! There was a noticeable improvement in detail, sound stage and tonality over my solid state amp. I am pleasantly surprised at how satisfying the overall performance is on a wide range of music. Some cuts that were previously edgy and harsh were smooth as glass with the MT-34 along with improvement in clarity. I’m thinking of the louder section Adele’s “Hello”. The unit was double boxed with the tubes lettered to match their individual sockets and well protected in cartons packed into the tube cage. Nice job. Everything was clean, fingerprint free and showed a high build quality. Switches all have a nice functional feel, but not luxurious. You won’t mistake it for a Luxman but it is gorgeous to look at in its own right. The Amazon pictures don’t quite do it justice. I don’t have any downsides to mention. At the moment there is a faint 120hz ground loop to sort out, even though it’s not detectable during playback. I don’t know the cause, so I’ll withhold blaming it on the MT-34. Edit: Update! The hum I experienced was from a nearby PC. Moved the PC, the noise disappeared. It also puts out more heat than I expected. I suppose all tube amps do. I have no reservations recommending the MT-34 if you have moderately efficient speakers. I’m using them with very efficient Crites Cornscalas similar to Klipsch Cornwalls and the amp is more than powerful enough to listen at live performance levels on most recordings including orchestral, rock, jazz, country. It’s also a great match sonically with horn midrange and highs like the Klipsch while delivering full, tight bass in the bargain. If you’re on the fence deciding, I’d say go for it! Excellent product.

This tube amp is as solid a design as you can get. The first thing I noticed was that this thing is heavy! Upon a very close inspection I couldn't find a single imperfection and this baby was packed tight for shipping. I only have listened to the amp for about 30 hours, and if the sound didn't improve with more time to break it in that would be fine by me. I have only a single note of caution and that wound be to check the sensitivity of your speakers. my speakers are rated at 90db, and this gets so loud that I can't raise the volume past 30% without the SWAT team busting down my front door. It has 2 modes, ultra linear and triode mode, and it is not difficult to hear the difference The triode mode has a lush, laid back sound stage, while the ultra linear mode does some rock and roll justice. After contacting the seller about a tube cage, which is $15, they sent me one free of charge. I really can't find anything I don't like about this amp, so all I can say is that this amp is highly recommended. Update- I now have about 100 hours break in time and I am just floored by how good this amp sounds. The amp is whisper quiet and the dynamic range is stunning. If you look up my other reviews you will find I am not a all "sunshine and roses" reviewer but this amp is just an exceptional value.

I have owned this amp for three years (in May 2024). The sound quality great I decided about 5 years ago to get back into vinyl records. I up graded my turntable to analog, and only run the vinyl through my old Fisher tower (4" tall) (duel 10" woofers, single 6" mid, single 3" tweeter) speakers from the mid 80's. Some will say these are terrible speakers, but every individual has their own listening preferences. Todays smaller speakers are too harsh for me, and I tire of the sound easily. My Fisher speakers I can listen to for days on end, and because of this amplifier, I close my eyes, and just get lost in the artist and music. And if we are truthful, isn't that what it is all about? The sounds blends in so well that you hear the music, not the speakers. Live albums you can hear the fingers moving across the frets of the guitar neck, and the faint inhale before the next line is sung... Listening to Coltrane, Davis, or Patterson give new life to old recordings. I get lost in the music no matter who the artist is. It is a moving experience. I have not had any issues with the amp or the tubes. It took around 100 hours for the tubes to really break-in, and I now have close to 500 hours on the amp, and the sound quality only gets better with time. I would buy this amp again without question.

Excellent! Paired this with Klipsh RP600m bookshelf speakers and the sound is awesome! Best receiver I have ever had. The stock tubes sounded very good, no issue, but I rolled new ones to open it up. The vendor helped me identify which tubes are supported. Build quality is top notch, the unit is super heavy and well made and the packaging was well done. Music is crystal clear. I listen to all genres and the tubes and push/pull match well for any genre from Jazz, country, blues, R&B to hard rock or heavy metal. No regrets. Get good cables, Worlds Best Cables on Amazon are very good.

This is great tube amp. The sound stage is wide and deep, the highs are airy, mids is rich and warm, and the bass is defined. I had this amp for about three months when the right channel started to crack and the volume was soft and unequal the the left. I contacted the seller and they emailed a few solutions with tube swapping to see if the sound changed. No luck there. So the seller had me box it back up for repair and replacement. The Tube store is very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Now my amp is going strong again and beautiful see and hear. Kudos to the seller

I was so disappointed. I wanted to love this amp as my entry into the world of tube technology. Unfortunately from day one, some defect in the electronics caused this unit to buzz. I could hear it faintly from the amp itself by putting my ear up close to the transformers, and from the speakers, it was distractingly loud. I tried everything a vast forum of tube amp aficionados in my facebook group suggested, and nothing helped. So back to Amazon it goes. Bummer.

I had recently become curious about tube amps and began doing a bit of research. After watching audiofile videos and reading reviews, it seemed that these chinese amps were gaining respect and were seen as good value. I had been quite happy with my Marantz SR 5013 AV Receiver. Especially the features and connectivity it provides. The Marantz now serves as pre-amp to the tube amp. I am powering a pair of Klipsch RP-600M speakers and an old Teledyne sub-woofer. I recieved my amp yesterday. The packaging was very solid with double boxes and great protection of the amp and tubes. Setup was easy as the tubes were hand labeled with their respective sockets. Once I got it up and running, I could not make myself go to bed until 1 am! I am told that the tube sound improves over a burn-in period of about 100 hours. It is fine now. We'll see. What is most striking is the sound stage. Vocals seem to be coming from a very distinct location between the speakers. Some instruments sound like they are coming from beyond the width of the speakers. The speakers sonically disappear and I find myself emerged like never before. As expected, the tubes provide a warmer, rounded-off sound in comparison to the Marantz solid state, which has much more defined high end. Both are wonderful to listen to but the tube amp is not as fatiguing as the solid state amp can be sometimes. All in all, a wonderful product that has eliminated my concern over its manufacturing orgins.

Just got this unit in today and wow what an upgrade. Just a summary of my current setup. -Project debut carbon black turntable (ortofon blue cart) -yaqin ms23b preamp with AMERICAN MADE TUBES (very important) -this current amp. -2x cerwin vega 240se Me and my fiance' are blown away at the dynamics and sheer volume this unit can reach. We had an old gentube tube amp that was a class a amp. Our old tube needed to be turned up to 40-50% volume to be content. This new unit with Russian made el34 tubes is nothing short of an audiophiles dream. We can't crank the volume knob past 20% before the cops are called in by my neighbors. 12/27/24Well... I guess all good things come to an end. This thing took a crap on me after about 4 years and $600+ dollars...ugh...

Super nice and the sound is amazing

Excelente

Had tube equipment years ago but moved to solid state because we didn't want to risk the little ones burning themselves. The little ones are big now so no more worries. Purchased this amp after reading all of the positive reviews. I was skeptical and had a hard time believing that at the listed price it could sound good. Well I'm a believer now. For the price you get a very musical integrated amplifier. Great purchase. Will still use the solid state but can't wait to start rolling tubes again.

Parfait pour écoute modérée , avec des meilleurs tubes a l'étage d'amplification ça va devenir très intéressant,😀

Good sound. Plenty of volume for me. Makes good recordings sound great. Plenty of amp for the price.
