Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it


Looking to buy this amp maybe, it's available on eBay, china hifi, etc.  I'm looking for something that is tubes, a headphone amp, and can play speakers all in one.  I have found one review but the guy seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about.  Love to hear your thoughts or other suggestions.

I'd avoid it first it's an SET amp but it's class AB that's just weird, also at an output of 16wpc they are pushing those two EL34 tubes pretty hard. Not good for tube life or amp life.

Ok thanks, it says single ended class A, but then goes on to say A/B.  Thanks i will stay away.

It s too small and low quality  if you want it to last and sound decent go to 

underwood Wally  youhave to spend at-minimum $1000+ 

for example if it cost$1k you are getting less then $200 in parts  the restoverhead and markup.

 

 

I've enjoyed a Glow One amplifier for several years in my second system and suggest that you give them a look.

A bit more than the one in the link you posted, but they are hand built with end-to-end wiring and no PC boards and can be found on the secondary market.

Enjoy!
