Quasi-Higi end from China
I recently a vacuum-tube power amplifier from Yahoo! Auctions in Japan. The spec is obviously high-end one, Yaquin MS-88B, KT88 pp 70W/ch.
It was definitely cheap, but it came with one cracked tube out of 10.
I wrote to them that I had problem, along with clear picture for a week ago. There is no response yet.
China is great, but it may be very far a way that light-speed e-mail takes more than a week.
