Vladas Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Further Information: Current Canary Audio model. Srajan Ebaen – 6moons, Canary CA-339 (discontinued inferior model): “If you asked me to name another 50-watt 300B amp, I don't think I could” Key Kim – Stereo Times, Canary M350 (current inferior model): “The M350 put me in a hypnotic state. It has an uncanny ability to transport music in an ethereal way. I was stunned by the intense level of purity, immediacy, and solidity of her voice. I felt as though she was in the room. After reviewing many tube amplifiers in the past few years, I decided I like the Canary Audio M350 so much that I'm keeping these” Renowned audiophile guru Arthur Salvatore has described Canary CA-339 (M600 is a direct upgraded successor) as the second best tube power amplifier they EVER had in the audio shop. And Salvatore has tested virtually all the very best iconic hi-end audio brands: Lamm, Wavac, VAC, CAT, Wytech Labs, Jadis – you name it. I have to agree with Salvatore. In my house, I have compared Canary M600 with several iconic tube power monoblocks. M600 just trashed them all by a huge margin. I personally would define M600 as “Jaw Dropping” class tube power amplifier. The sound is stunningly natural, relaxing, unbelievable vocals AND extremely, shockingly detailed at the same time - something almost impossible to achieve. I can think only of a couple tube audio brands in “that” class, with cost exceeding cost of average brand new car. Recently ALL TUBES have been replaced by the very best brands available: 300B: 8 brand new JJ Audio Slovakia 6SN7: 2 NOS Sylvania military grade JAN 6SN7WGT VT-229 USA 2 NOS Philips ECG military grade JAN 6SN7WGTA USA 5UG4: 2 NOS Raytheon 5UG4GB USA 2 NOS General Electric 5UG4GB USA I have installed quality German made 8 Hi-Fi isolation feet (4 on each amp) costing $360. Beautiful huge blue display. Comes with genuine printed user manual and Australian power cords. M600 is USA power supply version. Unit comes with industry best powerful 1010 W Australian Tortech step-down ISOLATION transformer. Local pick-up. You may arrange shipping with “Pack-and-Send” at your cost. M600 Monoblock Amplifiers Built around 300B Triode Tubes: The M600 is a class A triode mode, push-pull parallel monoblock power amplifiers with 300B output tubes. It is the upgraded version of the M500 with the use of highest quality parts and components such as Amtrans AMRG premium carbon film resistors. It has a newly designed integrated power circuit with time-delay relay to eliminate turn-on thump. The M600 features a modified circuitry that guarantees a more dynamic soundstage with deeper bass tone. Like all other Canary products, only highest quality parts and components are used in critical applications. The oversize custom wound power and output transformers are specially designed to handle twice of its power rating, ensuring durability. Two independent chokes are employed for rectifier filtering on each channel. The Muscular Canary: The M600 monoblock power amplifiers are specially designed for optimum sound quality. Deliver high power music at wide dynamic range with ultra low distortion, the M600 is simply the finest amplifier one could desire. Maybe the muscular canary doesn't exist in nature, but if one existed, it might sound something like this amplifier. Special Features: Amtrans AMRG premium carbon film resistors with gold-plated leads. Integrated power circuit with time-delay relay to eliminate turn-on thump. Newly designed high voltage power supply. Rectifier with double choke filtering (two chokes are employed per channel). The input circuit has been redesigned to be faster and more dynamic. Custom EI power transformers. Exclusive machined Delrin 300B tube sockets with gold plated pin receptacles. Specially designed power meter with a custom backlite LED display. 100% handcrafted in California, USA. SPECIFICATIONS Rated Power Output: 50 Watts RMS Input Sensitivity: 0.75 Volts for full output Input Impedance: 150,000 Ohms Frequency Response: +/- 1dB from 10 Hz to 80,000 Hz Total Harmonic Distortion: < 0.2% Signal-to-Noise Ratio: -81 dB below 1 Watt Damping Factor: 14 Power Consumption: 350 Watts (true RMS) Output Impedance: 4, 8 Ohm Tube Complement (per monoblock): 4 x 300B 2 x 6SN7GTB 2 x 5U4GB Dimensions (per monoblock): 12" W x 25.5" D x 9" H Net Weight (per monoblock): 75 lbs
