[QUOTE="Moog, post: 99685, member: 418"] By careful selection and auditioning, i believe one can unearth good sound out there without spending a fortune. For example, on page 58 of the Hifi-News magazine, the January 2011 edition, there is a review of a Chinese-built valve amplifier, a Yarland FV-34B with a retail price of 499 pounds sterling(Yes, 499). In the February 2011 edition of the same magazine, on page 56, there is a review of an Italian-built valve amplifier, a Unison Research S. The statistics are as follows: Yarland FV-34 B Unison Research S6 Continuous Power (<3% THD, 8/4 ohms ) 40w/40w 30w/10w Dynamic power(<3% THD, 8/4/2/1 ohms ) 63w/61w/67w/45w 40w/19w/8w/4w Overall sound quality rating 82% 80% Price 499 pounds 3,000 pounds It would appear that , the Unison Research is a high-end in price and (arguably) in looks but not in sound quality.
