Hi.

As subject.

I bid twice tonight on Ebay UK for different valve amps.
I left it near the last minute.

I was totally outbid bith times. Prices are outta sight
recently on there, it seems.

Anyone have a cheap, but _modern_ (manufacturing date)
one. I've done the QUAD II thing, and now I wanna try
a shiny new modern one - even if it will be an old
design in a shiny new case.

I will be interested in a power amp (or pair of monoblocs),
or a full integrated amp.

Only interested in fully working ones, with plenty of
valve life left, and in very good cosmetic condition.


I realise it's a long shot, but I thought I'd try.

**Why would you bother buying any piece of audio equipment, without first
listening to it? You don't mention what speakers you have, so I fail to see
how anyone can provide meaningful advice, since tube amps have restricted
impedance operating ranges. Why would you just not go an buy a nice Rotel?
They make some nice products well within your price range. They'll be more
reliable, work with a wider range of speakers and provide far better sound
quality than any cheap tube amp.
