The Cyber880 is an extremely potent amplifier with power, superb
definition, and great control. Using eight KT88/6550 output tubes and
a low-mu octal driver, this amplifier possesses an uncanny ability to
reveal every nuance in a recording, while preserve the emotion and feel
necessary for a truly musical performance. In addition to finesse, it
has great power, impact, control, and a low electrical noise floor.
This remarkable overall character makes it suitable for use with
speakers ranging from high efficiency to the most difficult and
demanding. The aluminium front panel and top cover are finished in
hand rubbed silver metallic lacquer. Output matching taps are
provided for 4, and 8 ohm speakers.

The Cyber880A uses four 2A3 triodes per channel in push/pull configuration and low-mu drivers, this amplifier has a amazing amount of musical clarity
while at the same time possessing enough power to drive most speakers.
You no longer need to worry if your already existing speakers can be
driven by a tube amplifier, this eight tubed 2A3 amp can handle
virtually anything. In addition to the power it has finesse, impact, control, and a
low electrical noise floor. This remarkable overall character makes it
suitable for almost any music fan. It contains a solid 30 watts per
channel (with low impedance) but with the charm of tubes. The aluminum
front panel and top cover are finished in hand rubbed silver metalic
lacquer, with a bias meter and tube adjustors that make it easy to
maintain and adjust. Output matching taps are provided for 4, and 8 ohm
speakers.
