Has anyone any info on the Chinese valve amps floating around on e -bay?
I
am thinking of going to valve amplification as I am predominately
listening
to more mellow stuff and the hardest thing I listen to is the doors.
It would be powering a set of B&W CDM1 SE's and getting its IP from a
systemdek IIV and a NAD HDCD - currently amped with a NAD C320BEE.

Any advice/info much appreciated - there are no hi fi shops in N Wales
with
any valve amps so auditioning is out of the question.

Why do you think you need a valve amp ?

What difference do you think it will make compared to what you have ?

and prefers the advice of those who will **** in his pocket.

Like many deluded listeners, he under the misapprehension that a *all* valve
amplifiers are good and *all* SS amplifier are bad. The reality is quite
different, of course. There are a staggeringly large number of crappy valve
amps and a goodly number of crappy SS amps on the market. Assuming that all
valve amps are good, is just dumb.
