according to Glow's web site they will no longer sell amplifiers after stock on hand is exhausted. they want to focus on the speakers..... :(
Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it
Looking to buy this amp maybe, it's available on eBay, china hifi, etc. I'm looking for something that is tubes, a headphone amp, and can play speakers all in one. I have found one review but the guy seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about. Love to hear your thoughts or other suggestions.

@audiomike33 I looked at all the pictures on the link you sent and got a kick out of their picture of the speaker taps and their unique spelling of Right and Left--If you go for it hope their quality is better than their spelling! |
With your wish list, I suggest looking at the Willsenton R8 (the improved later version) or the Muzishare X7. Both are push-pull AB and will deliver 45WPC in ultralinear mode, enough to power average speakers and will have a headphone jack also. The $400 SET EL34 will not be able to do nearly as much for you. If you go with the Willsenton, you might want to upgrade the tubes to Psvane tubes, they are better. If I were buying now, I would get the Muzishare. I have the Willsenton R8, and it sounds wonderful, especially for the money, but I also did the DIY internal upgrades which adds costs but is exchanging the generic components for high-grade audio components and takes some time and basic soldering to do. (There is a upgrade mod series on YT at "Skunkie Does Electronics"’ channel which documents the process well. I found it worth the cost and trouble. The cost will be $1400 (AMZ) not $400, though, before tube upgrades. |
