Another high quality manufacturer of tube amps all made in north America is Finale Audio - Triode Labs. i've mentioned them a few times here and there on the forms and after owning one of their integrateds for two years now I can't say enough good things. defiantly not too shiny or bling, all the money goes to the parts and transformers. I believe they have units starting from $1500'ish and up.
Is this an excellent value?

I happened to come across this listing by chance!
This appears to be an excellent value.
Two mono SET 845 25W amplifiers and Pre amplifier at 2551$.
It also can be wired for 120V power.
But I had never heard of company called "Yaqin "before.
