    I found it posted that Ali has/had one for headphones - but he gets commission from Mr Liang now

    Good reviews. Certainly unique things are possible if power is not an issue and most people wouldn't get to hear a headphone amp with Sachikos!
    May be unfair to compare mass production from China with a lifetime's dedication to designing and producing valve amps with bespoke iron, where sound quality is the prime driver.

    I have actually tried a Mr. Liang on the Sachikos. I had one for a couple of weeks that belonged to the late, great Dave Hewitt who let me try it out. i thought it was a very good amp but for some reason I went back to using the Decware and / or Trends TA10.1 I had at the time.

    I do indeed have one of those Glow Audio amps. Very good it is too.

    As for commission-I wish!

    Thanks Toby - but nostalgic? This is the second golden Age of Tubes!
