Valve experiences (1976 to 1987) The golden years? Err no, not necessarily!

Thanks I have tried several Chinese amps and to frank found then to be absolute c**p. Prone to hum, poor build quality and components and in one case electrically unsafe!!

I'm not disputing your experiences, especially the last bit, but in the interests of balance can I ask what Chinese valve amps you've tried?

I've heard and used quite a few, including the one I'm currently using, and sonically they've all been superb - far better than examples from so called 'hi-end' manufacturers.

Marco.
