Had a bad experience with a Yaquin hybrid integrated back in the early 2000's.. The second day I had it, it caught fire. If I had not been in the room at the time, I could have lost my house. It was very cheaply made, the output transformers were covered with big impressive covers, but underneath, the transformer was so tiny and no more than a 5 dollar part. Many sharp edges around where the tubes went. Cut my fingers installing the signal tubes.. I paid around 400 + shipping direct from China. Threw it out instead of sending it back. The best part, my home insurance was a 500.00 deductible. Couldn't even claim it. They may be better now but you wouldn't see me near one.
