Ordered a Willsenton R300

Everything I have read about this 300b tube amp has been very positive, particularly Steve Huff's review on his website.  I have always thought I would love the sound of 300b tubes and this is my chance to get one for a very modest price.  It ought to drive my Spatial Audio M4 Triode Masters very nicely.  I will report back my impressions of the amp when it is fully revealed to me.

You might want to go straight to the hard stuff.

I ordered the R8 from China Hifi and received it in 4 days. The units are here in the states. It was shipped from the same place that is listed on Amazon. They just hit you with the shipping charge from China. I still saved close to 400.00 dollars.

Good for you.  Shocking how inexpensively China can produce these amps.

I don't see any shipping date for my unit yet. The other thing that swung my decision to buy the amp was that repairs are available domestically.

That is what Don Sachs suggested.
