to @charles1dad ’s point, looks like op is looking at lower end ’value’ tube amps (which can sound quite nice, so no value judgement on that)
if this is the course needed, i would strongly suggest buying a jolida/black ice from wally or from a reputable us-based retailer - it is a china sourced amp but at least wally will stand behind it
issue with direct-buy chi-fi tube amps of course is the lack of stateside service and followup if needed, and the fact that this is not a 5 pound dac that can be easily reshipped in a little box to address any issues arising
...that willsenton r8 bought on ebay is a wonderful, screaming deal... until something isn't right and you need help... :)
