I think some of the people here who are 'not UK based' have no idea what
a toughie it would be for most people to even get to *hear* a valve amp,
never mind buy one at the prices of up to a year or so ago!

Oh Keith, I thought no-one understood.

But listen, don't pick on our mascot. Patrick suffers from chronic Davy
Crockett Syndrome, and you really shouldn't make fun.

He can recite RDH4 backwards, and often does.

UK audiophiles have no need to resort to Oriental imports of inferior
quality.


???

What makes you think they are inferior? I'm prepared to concede that Pat
will/may have seen a lot more dodgy Chinese amps than we have in the UK, but
I believe you live in the UK - what *bad* Chinese amps have you seen?

It's this 'it's Chinese so it's inferior' bigotry that gets me - I have
spent money to *find out* for myself, I suspect a lot of the 'knockers' have
never even heard a Chinese amplifier....

(Kills me - it's a fair bet that most/nearly all of the people knocking
Chinese gear on Usenet do so on Chinese-built computers!! :-)



I'll make you something really good that works.


OK if it sounds better than this:

and looks as good, I'll order one - 400 quid OK with you (with valves)...???
