    Yes, mine sounded good, until one channel started to get noisy

    Did you get it sorted?

    No I didn't! The guy never delivered either mine or the other guy's. He gave me a Korato KTA100 in exchange so I wasn't out of pocket! He was a distributor for them at the time. It turned out there was a fault on the Korato but Colin at Chevron Audio fixed it quite easily. Anyway, that was the end of my valve career and I have used solid state ever since.

    Shame. Little beats a good valve amp IMHO. Must say, I've had quite a few valve amps through my hands, kits, secondhand and new, some Kits I've built myself. Never had any real problems. Only real failure was as secondhand Chinese jobbie - the mains trannie let go - and that was the end of that. Lasted several years before it did though, and it was secondhand when I bought it.

    If you really want a good valve amp, save yer pennies and ask Nick to build you one.
