What bugs me is the descriptions, the volume control looks like an alps blue, they cost about £8 per unit in singles (much less in bulk) and are found even in entry level NADs, "Gold plated circuit boards silver soldered" micron gold plating is cheap and silver solder is too, isn't silver only there to replace the lead which is now banned?
Thing is the amp is made in yorkshire, living in the UK ain't cheap (i've seen chinese mocking western made amps on forums because they don't have enough components inside etc, easy for them to say that aye?) so they will have to charge somewhat to even contemplate building these things in the first place, otherwise you might as well be a cleaner and make more money than you would commercially building amps, and then nobody has the amplifiers, speakers, or whatever, and suddenly you can only buy things from china.
