You had me going there for second.  :rofl:

I think I want mine to say "Mark Levinson" or "Goldmund" instead. Anyone care to try what this thing actually sounds like?

There are pics of the internals.

Yes it uses "Main power tube:2N2955*4PCS+2N395592PCS" and in another place calls them "PNP power tubes".

It is really hard to give even the slightest amount of credibility to an electronics seller who does not know the difference between a vaccum tube and an output transistor.  :roll:

And what the hell is this supposed to mean???? "Metal sealing tube MOTOROLA to shut down now, machine match from the good board removed pipe pass strict test, the rest of the original are all brand new."

Scary ad.

Lost in translation? Used Google translate?

This honestly looks like a dressed up Tim Rawson DIY amp effort to me.

I think this is a krell clone chassis housing a chinese John Lindsey Hood 1969 full class A speaker amp..  my other forum, sbaf says it's actually pretty good for a low power class a solid state amp!
"based on John Lindsey Hood's Class A design from Wireless World April 1969, but with modern parts." explanation courtesy of Marv/purrin

Uncola, you are right. A user on another forum bought one and says it is competitive with a Hegel H2 provided you don't push it past its power level!
