Soon-to-be Newbie from Australia
« on: 14 Jun 2026, 11:07 pm »
Hello all, this is Steven from Sydney. Nice to meet you all.
I own a SET amp which is just about 8Wpc and ordered the SAM to hope for a nice match and happy listening  :D

Hi FullRangeMan :D I have a 300B SET (8WPC).  :roll:
It's made in Hong Kong and I found it more affordable than those I could find in the market in Australia.
The tube is EH300B (not gold plated). TBH, I'm a newbie to tube audio too since last year :)

Hi seikosha, I've retired my JM Lab Chrous 707S (bought in 2008) with the maggie LRS+ last year.
However I want a pair of SAM dedicated for mucic :)

All of a sudden, 'Sam' doesn't arrive today and I have to pass a lonely weekend myself till Monday.  :popcorn:
I did a few of my research that some owners found 'Sam' wakes up to be a better 'person' after 100hrs.
I hope I don't have to run that long or otherwise cover it with a quilt and play overnight with a SS amp :)

I would suggest not leaving this amp(or any other audio equipment) power on for long periods.
Especially if the weather looks like rain.
