No - given that it seems you've got to spend about £3.5K to match a 300
quid Chinese valve amp, it's my pocket that exludes them from casual
investigation...


How on earth can an amplifier cost £3.5K? Unless the chassis is gold-plated,
or it's hand-built by a Swiss craftsman. Neither of which make any
difference to the performance.
