I got sucked into Youtube hype and bought a stupid chip amp from Amazon with a tube pre section and f me its good. Not just at its price point, but just good period. Its really ugly, it has a stupid novelty VU meter, its small and has a huge power brick, but it sounds very good. I guess I still have pointless reservations rooted in snobbery about buying a cheap amp to power expensive speakers and feel like I should have a similarly expensive amplifier but this is just really good.
I don't remember enjoying my speakers as much as I am right now, even when powered by my Rogue Sphinx which was 10x the price of this. I don't know if that says more about this amp or the Rogue, but I think its really worth checking out if you need an amp - not just a budget amp - but an amp full stop.
Oh - looks like Amazon UK aren't stocking it yet but its the Aiyima T9 Pro.
