Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Surprise? Monaco 845 use 3rd world country transformer!

The thing is, and Peter Qvortrup pointed this out decades ago - Asian audiophiles have always been in love with tube amps. Some credit should go to the fact that they can hear!

So it strikes me that some of these guys would be hugely passionate about sound - and now they have money in China they are following their passion and trying to take over. Japan did that with cars - or would have if they were not number of sales limited.

I think that the better makers really do care about making quality products. Some don't - but that's true of any market.

And to be blunt - because China has this bad reputation (and maybe not for much longer) now is the time to be able to buy the stuff at a somewhat affordable price. The LM 219IA looks like a $50k amp in person.
