Default Why cheap Chinese amps are not the chopping block for high-end tube amps

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)...???


I don't think Ian could buy the parts and materials for less than 400quid,
or about usd $700.



*Ding!!*


I doubt Sowter could do the 2 OPTs and PT and a choke for less than the
400
quid.



*Ding!!*


But unless otherwise proven, the OPTs and power trannys are probably not
great
quality.



Probably?

If 'ifs' and 'ands' were pots and pans...??

(Pat, *if* you were a bird you would probably fly backwards to keep the sand
outta yer eyes....!! ;-)


Nice paint on the outside though.



(Didn't hear Ian mention throwing in a paint job, did you?)



Ppl in the know would chuck away the chinese valves and use WE
300B........



No, they would throw away the 'Chinese valves' and fit, er, 'Golden
Dragons'.....!!! :-)



Send a thankyou note to the Chinese Communist Party who
controls worker wages and conditions.



Gawd....

China is the FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY in the entire bloody world!! (Learn to
like Chow Mein Patrick.... ;-)


rest snipped - the sums didn't add up...
