So I hate valve amps (erm...'toob' amps). I don't like their sound. I don't like their performance. I don't like the fact that you have to spend a relative fortune to get a half-decent-sounding one.
Now you may disagree with any or all of that, but let's leave that to one side for the moment, because you can still help me out, even if you totally disagree. Isn't that a breath of fresh air.
I also think they look fantastic. I'm sure they're not everyone's cup of tea, but for me they look quite wonderful.
So I want one. But I'm not going to use it, at least not to power any speakers or headphones. I just want a set of massive, juicy glowing valves on my desktop.
And I want them to cost next to nothing.
Over to you for recommendations.
Many thanks.
