Hi-Fi tube amp kit from China
#42

Ok, here is the real test. How does this little amp really sound? Icon_e_smile I decided against connecting the Dyna preamp since I haven't had it powered on for at least 10 years, and I am sure it is due for a recap. So, I stuck with the EQ and CD player.
   
I dragged down the Sanyo 12" speakers that I have had since tech school. Pretty much filled up my small radio room!
   
I used these since I know how they sounded with the Fisher and Dyna setup, so I had something to kinda compare to. I grabbed a few 'pet' CDs and powered up. I must say, I was surprised Icon_razz , and in a good way! I started bringing it up and that little amp stayed right with it! I kept thinking the next 'click' on the level control would start clipping, but it just came up another notch and kept on. It will definitely thump. Way more than I really expected. It's clean across the board. Now, I didn't get out the scope and audio generator to see just how good or not it is, but my ears say it is strong for a "one lunger". It seems to have plenty of reserve. I didn't know how well those China 6L6 tubes would do, but they seem strong. I had a stash of USA tubes if I needed to try, but after the test, I didn't bother.

I wish I had a nicer set of speakers to try, but all my better speakers have rotten foam edges. So, I use what I have. More to come...

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
