TasDom Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Read this on another forum. Looks like Monoprice is jumping into the tube arena. I know nothing about tubes but how cheap can these get? http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13194&AID=11051853&PID=3747368&ref=cj&utm_source=cj&utm_medium=11051853&utm_term=VigLink-2470763#description http://www.soundandvision.com/content/tubes-all-monoprice-shows-hybrid-tube-amp#rAt6lzIW1TEVhjD6.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 This Amp (Design) has been around for awile, different cosmetics. China made and nothing worng with these. My Amp supplier for the last 15+ years is on the Bay as "Primeamp" check out his stuff. shipping sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tube fanatic Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 With tube amps the main cost is the output tubes and transformers. So, by going with a solid state output stage price can be kept very low. That, combined with the ability of the Chinese companies to turn out stuff inexpensively, is why products like this are available. As to reliability, I have no idea...

totalcomfort Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I have a version of this amp I got off ebay, sounds good and has been playing for a while with no problems. My only gripe is the volume pot is way to touchy. Hard to get it to play at low volume for background music when I sleep at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
