I bet it will be like many of the chinese tube and even solid state amps, for about $10 and the use of a soldering iron, you can make them sound amazing. Usually they are missing stuff like film bypasses and ground loop isolation to bring down the noise floor.

chilofthehornPlus all that pesky UL stuff that keeps them from catching things on fire, because psh who pays for good amps when cheap Chinese amps that can burn your house down for pennies on the dollar exist?

VistanceNot discounting it. Just saying that the Chinese amps typically suffer from p-spice-itus. Which is to say that they build amplifiers based off of basic schematics and modeling of idealized values. They don't design for how electronics work in the real world. Then, they also tend to pair some really nice components with some really crappy ones. Like making a $300+ amplifier with a $0.69 Potentiometer... yet they have gold plated copper RCA inputs.
