Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

It's time to put the old dog case of AN-Japan vs AN-UK to rest. Kondo is dead and both companies seem to be doing just fine. It makes no sense to bring it back all over again since we'll never know what really happened doesn't matter what both sides claim. There is only small percentage of people who really can afford the prices and a handful who can claim that they made valid comparisons , I would not trust any of them nor any "insider" story to form opinion. I respect Peter Q. a lot. He seemed to be available 24/7 for years to offer support and help and was promoting DIY all along. Yes , prices are rather high and inflated but if he was not competitive , he'd be out of market in no time. He was the one who admitted on this very forum that it is relatively easy (if not cheap) to diy better sounding amp than factory built. Some things cannot be done commercially for various reasons. He may be a shrewd businessman but he also appears to be genuinely passionate about music unlike some burned out pompous pricks in this business and unlike many he has really good taste in music too
Back to the topic I have no problem with cheap Chinese amps . It's fair proposition and nobody should expect miracles for equivalent of a dinner for two in a nice restaurant and a bottle of wine. However I do have a problem with 500% of importers markup and will NEVER buy Chinese amp from local dealer ,thanks! I can "import" myself.
