Hi everyone. I've been considering a range of tube amps for a friend. I started with the Reisong A10 but then it will likely need modding, so more expense and stuffing around to get it working properly
This will be his first tube amp. He has some very nice vintage Leak Sandwich speakers that are pretty sensitive, so this amp should drive them easily with its rated power of 6.5wpc. From what I've read so far, this single ended Canadian designed, built in China MP-301 has very good quality components, but what attracts me to it is the ability to roll quite a range of different tubes. It supports 6L6 (6P3P), KT66, 5881, EL34, KT77, KT88 and 6550 and voltage is selectable depending on local power supply. A nice feature too is the headphone jack.
Does anyone have any experience with it? Opinions?

These things have absolute shit for output transformers, that is why it is recommended (in these parts) to buy an A-10 ($400US) and mod it.
