snip wise words - except the bit about the Sinophobic RATs


One cannot even buy a proper UK built 300B output transformer
for the price of a complete Chinky amplifier.. Caveat emptor:-)

It's good that people are interested in thermionic audio, but sadly
they may get the wrong impression regarding reliability from a
Chinese-built product.

Tube amps can and should be reliable. I have a friend in Sweden
who is a bespoke amp builder. He offers a ten year warranty on
his work. He has been in business some twenty years, and has never
had amp returned for more than routine service.


It's the old ''the Chinky Cheepy you can afford sounds better than the
*audio bling* you can't afford (or don't want to spend the money on)"
argument again, isn't it?

(How long it may *sound* is another matter and the luck of the draw, of
course...! ;-)
