Yaqin valve amps?

[Ned664]

I find myself strangely drawn to replace my MF X A1 to a valve amp. Yaqin amps seem to offer a competitive entry price for valve amps. Anyone had any experience? My main source is Roksan Radius5 TT.

Yes I have used the mc 100b it is a very very good amp

Thank you James, did you have a solid state amp before at all. If so is there a significant difference?

Hi Nick

I have a perfect condition Yaqin MC100B sitting on my shelf, loved but now unused.
I was planning to use it as a spare/backup amp - but if you'd like to buy it ..... ;)

Lovely amp. :)

Shown here when I took both the valve amps I had then round to Phil (aka The Count) to try on his Snell A speakers ....

Oh yes. It made it sound even more colourful, and the imaging now floats nicely between the speakers. :)

Nick, I did have SS mono blocs but they were BADLY damaged in the post. I didn't really have the money to get them fixed, so I spent £40 on a Mini T amp and successfully used that for 4-5 months, it is from here that I got a great deal on the Yaqin.
The difference from the Mini T to the Yaqin was massive, definitely night and day. The Yaqin gives a very big, full bodied, spacious sound with lovely tonal accuracies.
I would highly recommend you bight Jerry's arm off.
