A recent post on Chinese tube amps jogged my memory of this brand.  I'm a SS guy, so all I know about them is that they created a minor sensation 20+? years ago with an 8 watt tube monoblock amp for $99.  They seemed pretty prolific, with an array of amps using a variety of tubes.

Did they survive their brush with tube world fame (hah!) and the resulting demand for product?  Are they still around in a meaningful way?  Any opinions out there on their gear and place in the market?

I have 4 of their Hurricane mono blocks here I use frequently with no problems.

This amp was reviewed favorably by absolute sound and author slavador

This amp was highly modifiable and those new caps DO make a difference.

If you see a good working unit for a great price I see no reason why not to at least give a listen.

Beware of our .fed-ex and Ups guys they destroy amplifiers
