One day a DHL box showed at my door, from China. The outside read "tube amplifier sample". When opened I found the above mentioned "Nobsound MS-10d" in it, it felt light for a "tube amplifier" so I opened it up (it's a sample, right?). The transformer cage in the back is empty, that's right - no transformers at all. The tubes have only filaments connected to 8V secondary of the power transformer inside the main chassis - for nice warm glow I suppose. The actual amplification is handled by 4 FET transistors attached to aluminum heatsink on the bottom. Headphone output is handled by OpAmp chip.
It's a total and complete scam.
