VALVET Amps & Pre: any feedback from Audiogoners?


Does anyone have personal experience with VALVET top of the line Amps (50 W) & Soulshine pre-amp? I have been able to lay hands on some positive reviews but trust fellow Audiogoners' personal experience more than reviewers and so-called audio pundits who often seem to exagerate.
Thanks for your input.

Check out the latest review (June 2010) for the Valvet A3.5/soulshine combo on StereoTimes by Key Kim.

You can find a few customer feedback emails on the manufacturers website: http://www.valvet.de/en/feedback/

Mainly about the "bricks" series and they are all in German language of course.

I'm using them since May in my private setup and in the reference system for the business (L1/E1 and soushine/A3.5). But I guess you may not want to hear my opinion since I'm the US importer of VALVET.
300VA torodial transformer and about 100,000 µF filtering per mono-block is not exactelly what I call "smallish".
