-
The mounting is on one big PCB - not good for tuning, but guess what - It needs very minimal works, it is good as it is.
-
It is MUCH BETTER than stock Angel, but a little bit worse than tweaked Angel KT88.
-
The tube choice is first class - best Russian 6550C's in power section, just like in Manley and VTL amps. Very good octal tubes in the front, good parts, good layout, some silkscreen descriptions, etc.
-
Generally - it gets my seal of approval in the mid price category
-
A very safe buy, a good entry into tube world.
-
And it is very powerful too.
-
For all perfectionists out there, in my sample nothing rattled, buzzed, or hissed whatsoever. The amp is stable, runs cool, and plays well.
-
I even liked it in tetrode mode not only triode (strange, I usually hate tetrode)
-
Lampized Nakamichi player (TDA1541A) and P17 speakers based on Saba and Lansing drivers.
-
This system has serious pretensions to be high end and even top league.
