Ok, so I decided to try something - probably crazy. I have been looking at some of the tube amp offerings on Ebay and Amazon from China for over a year. Chi-Fi, or something like that. Prices seemed ok, shipping, and who knows- customs. I found this, or it found me, so after some thought, I pulled the trigger. So this thread will be about my experience with this, good - or bad.
I am starting with something economical to get a feel. I was fascinated with this amp, just a power amp, not much of an earth thumper, but should be adequate for my desk in my office, and maybe a conversation piece. I ordered a Doukaudio single ended amplifier kit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251524336031?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT
Looks like it uses a European type output and voltage amp tube, kind of like a 6L6G and 6SN7GT.
I could have paid the extra $30 or so and gotten it already built, but (I think) I kind of wanted the kit building experience on one of these. So, I guess now I wait and see what, if anything shows up, and if so, what condition it arrives.
