Well written!
The new amp you describe looks like a real winner. It appears the web site is not quite up and running for sales yet.
I may dip my toe in the Nobsound dealy just to see if I like anything about this combination. My first of many tube amps was the Fisher 400 receiver (EL84's?, I don't remember) in about 1964. Beautiful in every way.
The reason I brought up SET is that there is always so much hi-fi chatter about it that I thought maybe it was finally time to investigate. To do it right may not be an option given the budget.
Thank you very much for your sage advice.

Unfortunately - you would have to e-mail King to order anything. He's new to this online sales world. I did tell him to try and get his site up and running but he is basically a one man operation. So on the one hand you get a superior product for less than half the price of virtually anything else (because his costs are minimal) but on the other hand the consumer takes more risk buying from a one man operation and over the net. So it's one of those risk reward deals.
For me I live in Hong Kong and I can drop by his shop. So it's in a sense far easier for me to buy in.
Several forumers have taken the leap of faith on the KingKo and their comments are on the linked Forum.
I come from the age where I like to hear everything before I buy. And as a reviewer I was able to do that. I am not generally a risk taker on audio. So the best advice is to be patient. There are ton of tube amps out there and buying a second hand amp can also afford many benefits. Most $2k amps that were new can be found now for $500-$800 as well. And chances are if you buy one of the used ones - the depreciation is already done. In other words if it is now $600 second hand then chances are in three years it will still be $600 so you don't really lose anything on them.
Great info and lots to think about. Thanks once again.
The forum was an interesting read coupled with the video to watch.
Wow!
