So after spending 2 GLORIOUS weeks with a Sugden A21 Signature(23wpc.version)while a friend was away on business I was so ABSOLUTELY gobsmacked by the performance I ordered the 15wpc.Douk Audio Class A integrated for $275.00 delivered out of the USA warehouse...I have a $4500.00 custom ordered Class A Single Ended KT150 integrated just came in,sitting in the box because I believe now that the path to my audio nirvana is down this road..I'll demo the Douk Audio a few days,maybe a week & if it is close to the A21's performance I'll upgrade to the 30wpc.Pass version for $700.00 & be done with amps...

Owned many fantastic Chinese pieces, from Denafrips to Line Magnetic, all top notch quality.

@freediver Am I remembering correctly that you were running the Line Magnetic 805?

Cayin CS-55..I am so totally dieing to set up the KT150 amp but the weight is killa on my wracked back/neck,no good place to set up right now & I'm looking at a cross country move in 14months..After the time with the A21 I believe I can get 99.9% of what that heavy tube amp offers in a 30lb.amp..The 1 BIG factor is the incredible low volume performance.Even the good tube amps I've had didn't compare to the weight & definition at REALLY low listening levels..
