Unlikely. I think I can proudly state that I am likely the only one in this thread that does not actually own a Chinese amp.

Neither do I.

It has been ages since I heard one so I best let someone else answer this. I would look for one but my work day starts in five minutes.

....does @bcowen ’s ever start?....

He has a new job so he has to be on his best behavior for at least two weeks I would think. If he starts getting on his cell phone responding to threads here they will think they hired a 19 year old in a much older body.

Very true, now Bill will have to look that up to know he has been insulted. I did a fairly respectable translation of the Aeneid as well as other works so I can still get by.

Actually, he may see it as high praise given his penchant for Marilyn Manson...

You mean Bill is still not done with his morning paper route!?

 

[Paladin79]

Neither do I.

I own a Darkvoice but it is Bill's fault, then I have one I bought for $10 and repaired just because it had magic eye tubes, and I ended up with one because the time it took to repair far exceeded the amps value.

Can you imagine the trouble he has fitting himself on the banana seat on the bicycle????

Does he know that he should face the basket?

Shuguang Black Treasure and what kind of 6080?

 

[DeweyCH]

I put together a little foam stand for the tubes I like the most to roll in and out. Here's my "in-use" collection:

In the Darkvoice:
Mullard 6080
CBS/Hytron brown-base 5692 (which I like very much @HTSkywalker , it's a really nice tube, second only to the metal-base Sylvania among 6SN7s I have)

In the Crack:
Tung-Sol 6080
Sylvania 6SN7W

Lying Sadly On Its Side:
Foton 6N8S

Stuffed In The Foam, Left Side (Back to Front):
2x GEC CV4079s in an adapter
Mullard 6080
Tung-Sol 5998
2x more GEC CV4079s in another adapter

Stuffed In The Foam, Right Side (Back to Front):
US-made Tung-Sol 6SN7
Sylvania VT-99 in adapter
Philips ECC82/12AU7 (can't really see it... sorry)
2x Sylvania 6L5G in adapter
Mullard ECC82
RCA cleartop 12AU7

I want to say my favorite combo all-in is one of the CV4079/A2293 pairs with the 6L5G pair. The separation and soundstage are insane. But I need to give that VT-99 some more opportunities to shine; it was reeeeeally nice when I first listened to it, I just rolled out the adapter and haven't had the chance to roll it back in. I'm a little leery of putting that adapter into the 12AU7-6SN7 adapter to try it with the Crack, but I'll probably do it anyhoos.

What would your combo be, given your druthers?
