If the idea is that one should not buy products from a country that ranks lower than one's own, based on whatever social metric, this would be problematic for those countries that rank high. You could scarcely buy anything non-domestic if you lived in Denmark or Finland, for example, but the world is your oyster if you lived in Nigeria or Myanmar.
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.

@pesky_wabbit Yes, something very similar to that although the CCS is our own design. There's a 'steering diode' so the cathode voltage can't fall below -0.7 Volts; this protects the tube from developing cathode/filament shorts during warmup. |
well my dream of owning this amp via my selling the Defy, , I just canceled the Defy 7 ad , all for 3 hours,, had 50 hits,,, ad canceled, after i RE-visited the KU 307,, I did not let vid finsih BEFORE,, so i just went back and Beethoven was playing,,, hummm, SET's are #1 for jazz, blues, light chamber,,, sym orch,, forget it. DHT PP will respond to full orch, but NOT their lil brother the Single DHT. Defy ad canceled. Going with a 3rd amp the 300B PP, contary to my techs advice to stay away from anything *300B*.

@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.
