Doge 9 listening experience...

I too am very interested in these amps. I imagine that the Doge 9 is not as popular because they are sold from China and not through a US importer such as Pacific Valve.

They have a very similar configuration to the Jolida amps with the 211 tubes and a 200w output, but with nicer looking chassis.

If they are as good as the other Doge units they are a sure winner.

now who is going to take their chances and order them?

How long did it take to get your amps? Are you in the US? Can you recommend who to buy them from?

Thanks Thinman. I have seen timaudio on ebay. He has a turntable motor I think I want. Have you any experience with that?
As for the Doge 9,they look very nice and I love their preamp.
I like the idea of a high powered tube amp that doesn't break the bank to own or to retube.
I have Acoustat 2 speakers and they require lots of power to sing. They also have a pretty serious load swing, especially in the high frequencies. Do you see this amp as having the ability to handle difficult loads?

thanks for the correspondence.

Does the Doge 9 have balanced inputs?

that is surprising that they don't have balanced inputs since the Doge 8 has balanced outputs.
thanks for the info.
