Features
Inspired by HOOD 1969, adopting single-ended output circuit, low harmonic distortion, large static current of Class A, and equipped with active electronic filtering, the background is very quiet without any noise.
Gold-sealed high-power transistors are used as electronic filters and power output, the sound quality is warmer and more charming, delicate and full, which is a ideal choice to replace vacuum tube amplifier.
Pure class A output, each channel can output 10W, equivalent to 40W of class AB and 80W of digital amplifier. Enough to drive most home desktop/bookshelf/indoor/floor-standing speakers.
High-end components and material are used:
Adopting 130W A-core non-breakpoint toroidal transformer, oxygen-free copper enameled wire winding to ensure low magnetic flux leakage, high efficiency and strong power.
Japan ALPS27 sealed volume potentiometer, Siemens high-end series capacitors and German ROE capacitors
Pure copper input and output terminals, reliable contact and ultra-low loss for better transmission, resistant to oxidation and durable.
CNC machined all-aluminum external heat-dissipating chassis, laser laser engraving font, not easy to aging or deformation.

I built a pair of the Linsley Hood Class A 10W designs as published in Wireless World magazine, whilst at University in 1970. They sounded very good.

The cosmetics of the Chinese-built items you are selling look to have been influenced by darTZeel.

Does the amp have a volume control?

Does the amp have a volume control?

Sure does, it's the knob between the VU meters, I used it with a phono stage connected. If I'd been a bit cleverer with my photos it says volume just below the knob.

I've just added a pic.
