Reliability of Golden Tube amps....


Are golden tube still in business? My local dealer mentioned reliability problems when they carried the line...any thoughts? I have seen a number of their low-watt intergrated amps going for cheap on this site...

I'm not 100% sure but I think they are long out of business. They did have a reputation for poor reliability but they had a lot of happy customers too. I personally purchased a new one and within a week it broke exchanged it for something else.

I recall they had a lovely, somewhat classic tubelike sound. You are rolling the dice though.
