I think for the total price of close to $700 shipped to the US (remember, exchange rate is going down the toilet these days, 7.5:1 the last time I checked), SXT-2 is not much of a deal. opamp design..yikes. I think you can do better for $700. For a little more you can get a used Dynahi or basic beta22, which is infinitely better than those of opamp designs.
If you must have balanced operation, then SXT-2 is probably the least expensive solution, otherwise you can do better sound-wise.
Oh the price is different than earlier stated in 05. Hmmm, I would personally hold off since it would be next to impossible to get support if anything went wrong. It still looks nice. That thing is a beast .

Do you really think, if something was going to be wrong, it couldn't be fixed near your place?!
Unless you burn the whole amp, repairs wouldn't be that mayor. Could be just as much, or less(depends on how you look at it) as shipping the amps back to china.

I agree and think we need to adjust to global thinking. I have shipped many items back and forth from China with no incident. I would prefer to have the designer repair something like the SXT unless it was something simple that I could repair without a schematic.
Last week I had a tube preamp leave China on Thursday, it was on my doorstep on Tuesday via EMS. I just ordered the Denon D5000's. It will take 7 days to get to me shipped in the US.

i don't understand the headphone jacks. why are they 1/4 instead of XLR.
Here are some info, maybe you want to know.
2X6.35mm headphone out.
Left side:L out+, R out +, Ground. Right side:L out-, Rout-, Ground.
Two 6.35mm headphone out become 4-pin balanced out via the conversion cable, wire definien are: 1--L out+;2--L out-;3---R out+;4--R out-.
================================================== =
Original in Chinese.
6.35mm耳机输出口2个。
左侧为Lout+、Rout+、地。右侧为Lout-Rout-、地。
2个6.35mm耳机输出口通过转接线转接成四芯平衡输出口，线芯分别为：1--Lout+；2--Lout-；3--Rout+；4--Rout-。
================================================== =
The conversion cable is easy to made, just 2x 6.3mm plugs 1x 4-pin female XLR plug and some wires.
I've mod. my HD650's cable w/ 4pin XLR plugs for SXT2. And I'll make conversion cable, too.
also found out that, for those dont have a balanced cable for their headphone, if for an extra $90 RMB, he will make you one.
