In Reply to: 8 watt 300B I would probably get the Audio Note Kit One... posted by RGA on November 27, 2014 at 21:23:17:
Hey, RGA,
I was kind of hoping you'd chime in since I know you've listened to a lot of gear and like the Audio Note / SET approach.
Are you saying that you've actually handled/heard this amp, or that you are comparing its build/parts quality based upon the photos?
"Ugly..." well, I'd have to see it in person. I could live without the "AN" logos on the knobs, and it would look prettier with those big transformer (?) boxes on top being a matching, shiny metallic, but beyond that - geez! - for $1500 what do you want? ;-)
I do suspect that it's substantially bigger than it appears in the photos; the base is almost the size of a US Legal sheet of paper, and that sucker weights over 50 pounds.
