See this eBay auction 5725646743

If I read it right it's not much over a hundred quid atm with only 10 hours
to go! OK, postage'll be about £40+ but, feck me, how can you knock these
prices??

OK, they could be ****e and this one's positively boasting about its
(claimed) 5% THD at 28W figure but all I'll say is that since Tuesday
night's sesh, one poster here has bid and won a chinky amp like mine and me
mate Shiny Nigel's work colleague (audio shop, no less) was on the phone
earlier today quizzing me about them and says he's going to get one. (Like
SN didn't go rushing back to slag it off!!)

And this one: 5725720783 (although I've been advised that these are a teensy
bit *lethal*.. !!! :-)


Yes, but at 400 squids, even I am having a think! I doubt I could even
build that pretty a chassis for that money.................

This one's not cheap at about £2K but there's a link to a review of one of
them at USD12,500...!!

(If nothing else, they shore do look *purrty* don't they?? :-)

There's a *river* of cheap Chinese valve stuff on eBay atm - at this rate,
soon the only people *not* on valves will *all* be in this group, banging on
about how *bad* they are, while the rest of the world guzzles them up before
the prices go up!!! :-)


You sound like a classic Bitch Wife From Hell! "I know it's rubbish,
darling, but look how *cheap* it is!"
