Btw, I wouldn't have a clue about Chinese amplifiers ... both of my
amps are "designed and made in England"!



Which are what - just out of 'noseyosity'...??

Arcam Alpha 3 (early 90s vintage)
Audiolab 8000S (only made between 1996 - 1998)

The Alpha 3 is now in storage, as the 8000S has replaced it in my system.




OK, interesting - so we've got an Englishman with a Chinese amp 'talking'
to......

:-)


Bingo!



From what I know about Chinese amps, they seem to concentrate on valves or
valve-SS hybrids.

No 'wire with gain' amp types among the Chinese manufacturers.


Refreshing departure from the usual (and physically impossible) bull****
isn't it? :-)

Contrary to what you might see posted here, at the end of the day, in a
given price range cosmetics and appearance will usually be the ultimate
deciding factor in choosing amps, speakers, any other AV/audio gadget,
curtains, cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers, wives, girlfriends...... ;-)
