Strength:
Not a syrupy tube sound, but extreemly natural and transparent.
Weakness:
22 kg!!!!! And BIG. So not rack friendly. Although the unit is so visually stunning it does deserve its own setting.
Without doubt a giant killer. Friends with $10k tube pre amps go very quiet when the Ming is up to heat and strutting its stuff. Tube rolled to reduce hum with matched 6922 from the Tubestore in Canada - which they sent to Auckland, New Zealand (my home) with no fuss.

Strength:
Sound quality!! I am a tube afficionado for the most part, but many use a tube preamplifier with a solid state amplifier, i.e. Pass Labs. My amplifiers are 300B monobloc's with about 7-8 watt output each. Also use efficient vintage Tannoy speakers. Low price.
Weakness:
Size and weight could be problem for some. Without doubt the best tube (or solid state) preamplifier I have ever heard! Initally somewhat skeptical because of the relatively low price and Chinese origin. What a pleasant surprise to hear such a glorious , energetic, effortless, truly natural sound- - unlike other tube preamps I have listened to. Not muddy or "overly tubey", but very lifelike without coloration. There are nine vacuum tubes, including (2) 2A3's, (1) EL34, (3) 6SN7's, and (3)6922's. Has point to point wiring and high build quality -- and more than adequate gain.Weighs 47 lbs. Comes with a remote with volume control and muting. Overall, a fantastic value for the nominal price.
Customer Service Quick shipping with secure packaging.
