Pros & Cons
Pros
Verry happy with this product. All good. May order another one. After changing the bulbs it’s a 5 star!
Highlights
Quality
This amplifier is well made and sounds excellent
The switches and knobs are all metal and seem very well built
Cons remote the battery compartment is poorly executed
Unfortunately after four days the input switching board on the r8 failed
Price
Base on the price it deserves five stars
For the money this amplifier is a great buy
They are not cheap 795 with a 40 discount
Very special tube amp for the price
Shipping
They were quick to send a replacement to fix and my enlightened music journey into the tube world started from there
Got mine directly from china hifi and audio and saved 700 even including shipping
Amazon have asked me to give it a full 30 days as apparently this can happen with returns
Apparently stuck in vancouver for weeks unable to unload due to covid or some similar reasons for any delays
