Valves have been an expensive rarety and quite out of the reach of
ordinary audio enthusiasts in the UK until fairly recently, all I have
done is explore them (at no small cost to myself, all in all), share
my findings for free and have thrown my door open to more than dozen
different people (half of them 'ukranians') to come and hear them -
also for free, I don't charge admission! (Eau contreau - it has
usually *cost* me money to do it - dishing out freebie records, 5
course lunches etc.)

Noted...a good dinner would go down nicely with my cup of tea :-)

I've heard all but one of Keith's amps and to me they are all better
than anything I could afford for the same price or sound in the UK
shops.

I like the valve sound and without the Chinese effect I wouldn't have
been able to afford a valve amp at all, but having said that I've
currently got a German Dynavox amp and an American Bellari phono stage.
I'm happy with these at the moment but they've certainly started me on
the long path to "greater" things.
