In the world of pursuing the ultimate listening experience, every sound should resonate with the soul. Drawing on the expertise of a master tuner with 30 years of experience, the Oilily brand proudly presents the A88 MK Stereo Tube Integrated Amplifier. It is not merely a precision audio device, but a bridge connecting you to the true emotions of music.
Pure Craftsmanship, A Masterpiece of Artistry
The A88 MK adheres to a pure vacuum tube design philosophy, employing point-to-point hand-wiring throughout the entire assembly process. For its core components, we have developed a custom power transformer specifically for this model, and the output stage features two high-quality EI-core output transformers. Thick gold-plated signal wiring is used internally, ensuring the utmost purity and stability of signal transmission from the very source.
Classic Tubes and Dual Listening Modes
In terms of tube configuration, the A88 MK employs two 6SL7 and two 6SN7 tubes for the voltage amplification and push-pull stages, respectively. For power amplification, the default setup features four factory-matched Noble Voice KT88/6550/EL34 tubes, delivering Class AB1 push-pull power amplification.
To accommodate the appreciation of different musical genres, we provide quick switching between two operating modes: Triode and Ultra-Linear:
Triode Mode: The sound is gentle, pure, and smooth, making it ideal for listening to delicate musical genres such as vocals and string instruments.
Ultra-Linear Mode: The sound is more open and expansive, with outstanding presence and dynamic range, making it suitable for enjoying grand soundstages and energetic tracks.
The Joy of Customization for Audiophiles
True audiophiles are always exploring their own unique sound. The A88 MK features a dedicated external EL34/KT88 tube selection function, allowing you to easily swap out different tube models and enjoy the endless fun of “tube rolling.” Additionally, the front panel is equipped with a vintage dual-meter display. Combined with the external bias adjustment function, you can easily monitor and adjust the bias current to keep the power output tubes operating at their optimal state.
Modern Convenience and Comprehensive Protection
While paying homage to classic analog sound, the A88 MK also seamlessly integrates the convenience and safety of modern daily use:
Pure Preamp Bypass: Equipped with a preamp input (Pre-In), allowing you to conveniently connect your favorite standalone preamplifier.
Private Listening: The front panel features a 6.5mm headphone output jack; plugging in headphones automatically mutes the speaker output, providing you with a private, immersive listening experience.
Safety Protection: Built-in power-on protection with a mute delay function provides a 30-second buffer after startup to effectively prevent inrush current, protecting your unit and speakers.
Effortless Control: Equipped with a Japanese ALPS motorized potentiometer and a full-featured infrared remote control, you can easily adjust volume and select modes from the comfort of your sofa.
The Oilily A88 MK, with its exquisite craftsmanship, premium materials, and exceptional versatility, brings the golden age of high-fidelity music back to life for you.
