Dared amps

I am seeing this amps more and more. I'm curious about there reliability. There was one on ebay and the auction was canceled becuase the power supply went bad before the auction could close.

Are they of high quality? If they do have problems are there repair shops in the U.S. can warranty/repair them?

For the price they are offered at, I'd say Dared is a good amp for a low budget.
I certainly wouldn't pay too much for one.
China offers much better stuff than Dared.

I had the VP-300B's for about a week. I didn't like them and now they are gone.

Johnk,

Can you give the link for the EL34 amp.

Bartokfan,
I too am looking for a cheap tube integrated for my 2nd sys. Can you recommend some other chinese brands you know of.

Thanks

I bought the SL2000a a few months back. The sound with the stock tubes was just a touch too subdued for my taste. I replaced the tubes with Siemens (another $60 for a pair in addition to the preamp) and I am liking the sound more and more. Very transparent, excellent soundstage. For the money, I don't think there's a better buy.
