I recently was thinking about a cheap tube amp. Caveat emptor. Design is a very loose term. One was wired as such that the tubes lit up but thats it. Not sure where the sound came from. As near as I can tell, there are a few good sounding ones Yakim and Cayin for example. But their prices are high as others. 1000 to 1500 range. Then lots of choices. I thought about trying one from Amazon. Some highly rated ones were basically mix and match parts.warranty service. What's that.
Need help picking my first tube amp
Hey guys i want to get into tubes, i have heard wayyyyyyy to much and am dying to try a tube amp. I have a budget of 650 us dollars, not sure if i want a pre amp, or full tube amp. Im thinking pre amp cause i would really like it to drive headphones and then run it into a amp and then to speakers.
Been reading alot about Chineese tube amps and not sure what to think. I have my eye on Xduoo TA-26 gets rave reviews has anybody used it ? anyways looking for any input i can get, thanks.
