Inexpensive Tube Amps


Anyone have any experience with the following?  I want to try one just to see how the sound compares to my Yamaha and Denon solid states.  Since the Denon is living on borrowed time I will likely have to replace it this year anyway.  Looking at the Nubsound and noted a Germtune that is identical to the Nubsound but costs a bit more.  Reviews are largely good including those on other forums.

I don’t know anything about those, but like my father always said "if you buy cheap, you get cheap". I would save your money and pick up a used pair of mono blocks from a reputable dealer. Look into american made QuickSilver. www.quicksilveraudio.com I have circa 1990’s M60’s - 60 Watt Mono blocks that I love. Bought them a few years back. good luck.  If you are in NJ, go see (or call) Johnny at Audio Connection.  http://www.audioconnect.com/   He is a wealth of knowledge
@will62 no need to get angry with people trying to help you.  I went back and re-read all the posts and pretty great consensus on Quicksilver as well as some awesome advice that you should heed.  Not seeing anyone really recommending that stuff, but you seem hell-bent on probably spending the same that you would on a quality used pair to buy some new Chinese junk.  Have at it brother.  They'll probably be back on here for sale at some point.  Listen to @tonydennison.  he knows what he's talking about
