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 heard Glow amp running Audio Note speakers at a show a number of years back.   Glad to see they are still around.   Have almost pulled the trigger on several occasions just to have a nice good sounding and affordable tube amp to play around with.  I am a Glow fan!

I love DIY I would love to build my own I've heard of those kits before I'll have to take a look at that and do some research on that.

 

Does the R8 have a headphone jack?

I can't see ebay from work but ignore the unformed comments about too small.  

I am currently using a 2 wpc SE84 tube amp to drive my 140 lb floor standers.  It is all about the sensitivity of your speakers.

how about the Dayton Audio HTA200 amp? I've read much about it and seen much praise for it.

You know Steve Guttenberg the audiophiliac did a review on the Dayton audio hta200 and the emotiva a2m the side by side he said the date and audio was pretty good but the emotiva was better but he did like the date and audio and he did listen to the headphone jack.
