First of all some other amps, then some dacs, some headphones, cables, EQ device and even (good) CD players...Never mind some speakers, but then, there're others who can speak about studio monitors (active or passive)
I will try to make a small list this weekend en post in a separate thread, if you like.

Not necessarily for me (though the Sound-Per-Pound-Value is appealing) but it could very useful for some people - I'm thinking a Behringer A500 fed by a Caiman, with a cheap transport (or PC) for instance could be a giant-killer... A nice set of value speakers (monitors) on the end...First of all some other amps, then some dacs, some headphones, cables, EQ device and even (good) CD players...

Cayin A88-T is a brilliant one!
Cayin A88-T is a pretty good one, just under 30k, so shipping is not a problem. I paid £750 for my one and sold it for £1k. It is £3000 in Germany and regarded as something better than the Macintosh MC275Preferably a valve one!
I'm looking at cheap Chinese jobs on ebay, inevitably, and wondered if anyone has experience of any good ones?
I'm aware of the potential pitfalls of this approach and I'm going in with my eyes open having owned a Mr Liang 845 before. Shame I sold it really!
At the moment I'm favouring an 'Audoromy FU13' like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUDIOROMY-FU13...item3ca7798fae
But there are loads of different options about, any recommendations?
It may well be only an interim solution as I've hankered after a certain 300B pp amp ever since hearing one last year at the 'Chester fest'. If I can find one for sale, or the bits to build a clone then that's the way I'd like to go.
But 'for now'?
