The Nutube 6P1, developed by KORG with Noritake Itron in 2015, is a flattened double directly heated triode built like a vacuum fluorescent display: compact, energy-efficient and long-lived, but very prone to microphonics. Cayin brought it to portable audio with the N8 player in 2018, used a balanced pair in the original C9 in 2021, and added Classic and Modern timbres in the N30LE in 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/cayin-c9ii-flagship-portable-headphone-amplifier-photo-gen5.jpg?v=1791379609\" alt=\"Gen5 Nutube circuit of the Cayin C9ii\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/cayin-c9ii-flagship-portable-headphone-amplifier-photo-nutube.jpg?v=1791379615\" alt=\"The KORG Nutube 6P1 double triode\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/cayin-c9ii-flagship-portable-headphone-amplifier-photo-history.jpg?v=1791379621\" alt=\"Cayin’s Nutube players and amplifiers\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo tame microphonics, each Nutube sits in Cayin’s suspended installation: a custom silicone housing, a spring-loaded or vertically suspended shock-absorbing mount and a flexible circuit board.
