i dont know what the heck it is, but its worth more that what you paid on looks alone.

Charivari- 02-20-2007
That looks like one of the new Chinese tube amps entering the market. They appear to offer very good performance for the price and you've just managed to knock a zero or more off that price. Very nice going.

I'm assuming that's a 6BQ5/EL84 PP integrated? If so, figure ~15wpc with a very sweet midrange and treble. However, you'll want to pair it up with speakers that have a smaller than 10" woofer -- the 6BQ5s don't do well at all controlling larger cones.

I can't help but take another look at the picture and say that is a great looking amp. I look forward to reading your impressions of it when it arrives.

wow Alvaro, that's gotta be about $30US, no?? Seems like a great deal!! soundt/action-smiley-035.gif

Wow, what a great deal, Alvaro, congrats. soundt/action-smiley-035.gif

Now, I´m thinking your Rogers LS-55 ST´s could use that for the tweeters, the power amp section of your NAD for the woofers, both driven by the BK Electronic crossover you have.

I´d say you´re on your way to "The Active Way" biggrin.gif

Jorge.

P.S. - If you can get another one of those for something like that price, please buy it for me. Up to 3 times that price is still a good deal for me.

It's just a clone ( or is it the original...?! ) of the Sophia Byby Tube Amp. with 6P1 Chineese tubes similar to 6P1N russian with nine pins and with a little higher heater, not seven like 6AQ5 tubes.

for $30bux Alvaro?? Nice!! soundt/action-smiley-035.gif

tony3d- 03-15-2007
Ok, Now even I'll admit that's a damn good deal. Will you be taking any pics of the inside? How did you win it off eBay? Best of luck with it.

dingus- 03-15-2007
oh man, nice going Alvaro!

Charivari- 03-15-2007
Wow. Very nice and very surprising that it was let go for that low of price.
