Yaqin MS-34D Power Amplifier Yaqin Push Pull EL34 MS-34D tube amplifier. Very solid build, and very nice looking too. Specs: Power: 2 x 42 W Frequency: 16 Hz - 35 kHz ± 2 dB THD: 1.8% S/N: > 80 dB, Class A Input Frequency:
At A$900, this Yaqin MS-34D is a strong deal compared to buying new, which typically costs AUD$1,050–AUD$1,450, and it sits well below the rare used listings that have hovered near AUD$1,200. For a push-pull EL34 integrated with Bluetooth 5.0 and a remote, this price is a genuine bargain in the current Australian market.
The MS-34D is well-regarded for its rich midrange and solid build, delivering 32W per channel with four EL34s and a 12AX7 gain stage. It’s a favorite among budget tube enthusiasts who want real tube sound without the high cost of boutique gear. Since the listing includes original tubes, remote, and instructions, and the price is aggressively low, this is a buying opportunity for anyone seeking an entry-level push-pull amp with modern connectivity.

Yaqin is a Chinese audio brand that appears to have been founded in 1994, with its manufacturing rooted in southern China, often associated with Foshan/Shenzhen-area production. Publicly available information suggests it began as a small family-run operation and was later built out into a more formal factory brand. The company’s exact founding story is not especially well documented in English, so details beyond the 1994 origin should be treated cautiously.
The brand is best known for vacuum-tube hi-fi components, especially integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, tube preamps, and phono stages. Models such as the MC-10L, MC-13S, MC-84L, MC-100B, and MS-23B are frequently referenced by enthusiasts. Yaqin has also claimed broader production capabilities, including transformers and related audio electronics, though its core identity is clearly centered on tube amplification rather than loudspeakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
In the market, Yaqin sits in the value-oriented to mid-tier tube-audio segment rather than the true high-end. Its appeal is strong among listeners who want classic valve sound, straightforward serviceability, and a relatively affordable path into tubes. It is not generally regarded as a luxury boutique marque, but it has earned a reputation for delivering decent performance for the money, especially for buyers comfortable with a more traditional, component-driven approach to hi-fi.
