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.

Will62. You came to a forum where people without blinking will spend $10,000 on an amp. Then you want their opinion on a $300 piece of junk amp from China? Seriously, what did you really expect?

And you are completely wrong on why it cost so little. It costs so little because quality is so low.
Btw, i looked at the tube cube 7; 3.5 watts. I think you could have done better with low power with an amp from Cary, VAC, audio note or wavac.

@simao first of all, this hobby is not dying out. Not sure why you would even say that.

Second, Will62 was treated fairly. He was treated equally just like everyone else that posts here. When anyone asks a question like his, the forum members will speak in the context of audiophilia (is this a word? sounds creepy). It’s not reasonable to come in here and expect that people are going to have great things to say about a $50 amp from China. It’s just not going to happen. And then to chastise those members for acting like an audiophiliac? That’s like my wife who yells at our dog for barking, digging holes and chasing cats.

Sounds like the only way Will62 would be happy is if everyone said, yeah, great amp! But since he didn't hear that, he's upset. Surprise! nobnody here's going to say that.
Hey, i can totally relate to the OP. I had to cash out of my system 10 years ago and just now have been able to afford to get back in the hobby. Obviously i kept my account open here but while away  just stayed out of here because this was a different league. I don't think anyone  is trying to be rude to the OP because of his financial constraints.
