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?


See Serge's reply.....


Unless the chassis is gold-plated,
or it's hand-built by a Swiss craftsman. Neither of which make any
difference to the performance.


How do you know that?
