★★★☆☆

I have actually owned this for l day... Read on... The problem with tubes is that they blow. I just purchased this item via a certain auction site. It looks stunning. Near flawless finish. Solid as. But I plugged in the tubes the first time and low and behold one was faulty (got seriously hot, hummed, crackled and banged through the speakers). The unit is supplied with budget tubes. Search the web and you will find others with this problem from the outset of ownership. I now have to wait to get more tubes before I can listen to this Amp. I don't recommend tube amps for the non technically inclined as you have a higher level of skill required to keep them working. I will review the amp again once I get some new tubes (assuming none of the components are fried)... Have marked sound as a one star as I can't use the amp...

You were unlucky to have a duff tube, the stock tubes are ok, but can be bettered by any other make!
The main problem with this amp is people using them on the wrong voltage, if it's a 220v unit then that's what it needs
to be fed. a 20v overload on the input, results in about a 40 volt overload on the HT rail, it wont take that.
Here in the UK we tend to get 243-251 volts at the socket, so I run my one vir a Variac, I've had it for three year's & it's been a dream, no problems.
I hope you have your's running nicely now.
Best regards Bob.

The stock tubes are not up to much, but to have the problems you've had is very unusual? Maybe your running a 220v unit on 240v? that would explain it.
Also you say you only "gave one star for the sound as you cant use the amp", well on that bases one could say :- You cant write a review as you cant use the amp! secondly why give it four stars for "Value for money" when you cant use it?
To write such a review after only one week of ownership, without giving the supplier a chance to supply the required replacement tubes is very misleading.
Once you have your amp running correctly I'm sure you'll have a much better opinion of it. I've had a 10L for about 6 years now with no problems & a 100B for about 3 years with no problems, All tubes up grades of course.
