Ha yes Chinese advances in 1920's technology are more of a niche sector. 😂
SET Shootout China VS The USA
2A3 SET from china arrives any day now.
The tech who loaned me his UX250 (aka 50 Tube) amp, with a 12AU7 in front + a 6BH7 (??) , has incredible pure Cobalt out trans. ($1k+ each back in 2000, now no longer in production). . he will help me set up the 2A3.
Has a AX+AU my 2 fav front tubes anda quad of 2A3's.
My speakers are pure neutrality, no coloration, no distortion,.
So whatever amp/ source you plug in, will register the nuances inherent in the circuit.
Will be very interesting.
USA has pure cobalt out trans which gives the edge in power, but the china 2A3 has a 2 tubes per channel.
Gonna be interesting and will post a YT upload with comments,
AFTER TESTING IS COMPLETEED.
Hand on to your horses at the OK Corral.
Grab a beer at the saloon,
sundown shootout at the edge of town.

@laoman Then go find a forum like this in the PRC. Where you can speak your mind for the most part and not have to worry about having your front door kicked in.

Look when China techs can put out a 2A3 PP and now I see a 300B PP just out, which most likely i will order as well, as it has a Pre Out for my Jadis DPL,, might sell the 2A3,,, but look when techs can put out a SET amp like in this vid below,, there is no way the old KT designs can compete. I have no idea what this amp lists at, bet its over $15 grand. Jadis KT170 vs this SET? Both at $16 grand No brainer.

just revisited the KU 307 video,, love at 1st hearing Its something I can't even comprehend, the fidelity,, its like its not even real. Like a dream or even a fantasy. By sheerrrr luck I hit on KU's page,,I've seen his YT months ago ona used amp he was selling...but I was very interested ina brand new chinese 300B PP amp with PRE IN,,and very confident I would add a 3rd amp,,, so I can use my Jadis DPL with Mundorf caps,,,but hit on this KU 307, What I really should do, is list my Defy with $1600 mods (never recoop, all lost), and sell the Yaqin 2A3. What pain and suffering.....
