Chinese Class A SS

Your concern WAS valid years ago when the influx of chinese gear started but the bad guys where quickly weeded out..I have owned several pieces from Cayin and Yaqin and they where all well built and the parts genuine...

So after spending 2 GLORIOUS weeks with a Sugden A21 Signature(23wpc.version)while a friend was away on business I was so ABSOLUTELY gobsmacked by the performance I ordered the 15wpc.Douk Audio Class A integrated for $275.00 delivered out of the USA warehouse...I have a $4500.00 custom ordered Class A Single Ended KT150 integrated just came in,sitting in the box because I believe now that the path to my audio nirvana is down this road..I'll demo the Douk Audio a few days,maybe a week & if it is close to the A21's performance I'll upgrade to the 30wpc.Pass version for $700.00 & be done with amps...

Cayin CS-55..I am so totally dieing to set up the KT150 amp but the weight is killa on my wracked back/neck,no good place to set up right now & I'm looking at a cross country move in 14months..After the time with the A21 I believe I can get 99.9% of what that heavy tube amp offers in a 30lb.amp..The 1 BIG factor is the incredible low volume performance.Even the good tube amps I've had didn't compare to the weight & definition at REALLY low listening levels..
