REMOTE CONTROLS ARE BAD BECAUSE ........
Question from eBay member in August 2013 = 
Answer = Thank you for your email. I apologise for the delay in replying , because I have been busy 
and I must have "overlooked" the eBay email about your question.
We will NEVER have remote controls fitted to the "main" amplifier because ........
REASON 1  =  I want our amplifier to last 10 years or 20 years or even 30 years.
With the exception of the transformers (the 3 big lumps of metal at the back of the amplifier) ,
we always try to use "standard" ""easily available" parts for our amplifiers.
If our amplifier need spare parts in 10 years time or 20 years time , 
almost anybody can buy "standard" ""easily available" parts , to repair our amplifiers.
You CANNOT do this with the "typical" Remote Control.
There are MANY DOZENS of DIFFERENT TYPES of IC ( Integrated Circuits ) for remote control. 
IF IN 10 YEARS TIME , the remote control breaks down or you lose the remote control 
or a crazy dog chews up your remote control IN 10 YEARS TIME , 
the repairman will PROBABLY have difficulty in finding the CORRECT IC (Integrated Circuit) 
to repair the remote control. 
Usually , the TINY TINY TINY SMT (Surface Mounted Technology) IC (Integrated Circuit) are usually so TINY , 
that it is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAIR "MODERN" REMOTE CONTROLS
So the EXPENSIVE , PRESTIGIOUS "main" amplifier will be "semi useless" because of a cheap USD $ 1 IC (Integrated Circuit).  That is just crazy !
We will NEVER put remote control in the EXPENSIVE "main" amplifier !
Maybe , we MIGHT put "sleeping style" remote control in a CHEAP "passive" preamplifier.
( The remote control will "go to sleep" and stop "thinking" and stop causing RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) , when you are NOT pressing any buttons on the remote control.)
REASON 2 = MANY (but not all) remote control circuits will carry on "thinking" 
EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING THE REMOTE CONTROL. 
This will produce "radio waves" INSIDE THE AMPLIFIER BOX and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). 
The amplifier wires and copper track on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) will behave like TINY AERIALS 
and "pick up" the unwanted radio waves ( like the TINY AERIALS on OLD mobile phones.) 
This problem is acceptable for CHEAP Hi Fi equipment , 
but remote controls are a silly idea for the BEST , NO COMPROMISE AMPLIFIERS !
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE (less shipping cost, during 1 month home trial) that our eBay listing of GBP £1450 and GBP £1588 amplifiers will EASILY EASILY EASILY BEAT any amplifiers with "typical" remote controls , because "typical" remote controls are bad for RFI ( Radio Frequency Interference ) , which will affect the quality of sound !
CAN I VISIT YOUR BRITISH FACTORY
IN MARGATE , ENGLAND ?
Question from America (probably) in September 2013 = 
Answer = . Thank you for your e-mail.
We will be happy to see you, on the days that you do not have to work.
We are doing a research and development programme to PROVE that 
our amplifiers and loudspeakers are the best in the world REGARDLESS OF PRICE , REGARDLESS OF  TECHNOLOGY (e.g. Digital amplifier, metal cones , Diamond dome tweeters, latest fashionable gimmicky technology in Hi Fi magazines)
If you are travelling by car, please bring along your amplifier and 1 (not 2) of your loudspeakers. 
It is easier to hear the difference using 1 (not 2) loudspeakers.
Before Hi Fi reviewers go on and on about "stereo imaging" , "staging" , etc ,
they should GO BACK TO THE BASICS and check that
1 (not 2) loudspeaker is enough to 
TRICK  THEIR  EARS INTO BELIEVING THAT THEIR FAVOURITE SINGERS AND MUSICIANS (NOT 16 FOOT PIPE ORGANS) ARE IN THEIR LIVING ROOM.
What is the point of going on and on about "stereo imaging" , 
when over priced amplifiers + over priced loudspeakers CANNOT trick their ears into believing that the favourite singers and musicians are in their living room ?
The "typical" 6 inch British loudspeakers will be hopelessly OVERLOADED
in a 20 foot room , if you sit 10 feet from the loudspeakers
and listen to music WITH LOUD BASS AND HUMAN VOICE , 
at a realistic life size volume.
SOMETIMES , IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO 
BUY BIGGER , BETTER , MORE POWERFUL LOUDSPEAKERS 
THAN CHANGE THE AMPLIFIER. 
COME AND LISTEN TO OUR AMPLIFIERS AND LOUDSPEAKERS, AND LET YOUR EARS DECIDE. 
Please tell us ... HOW MUCH YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEND , SO THAT WE CAN SET UP THE EQUIPMENT SPECIALLY FOR YOU. 
Please allow us 2 weeks, set up the equipment specially for you.
We will be happy to see you, when you do not have to work.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely, 
Lim Aik Leong from Margate, England
DO YOUR FACTORY MAKE 
"CUSTOM BUILT" TUBE AMPLIFIERS ?
Question by email in October 2013  =  Hello
Do you make custom amps? Im looking for a PP UL stereo amp with EL156 (not Chinese) output tubes.
Kind regards
Mr H B
Answer = . Yes , we do make custom amplifiers ,
but before you spend your HARD EARNED CASH on
a Push Pull Ultra Linear EL156 amplifier ,
please THINK ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF MY EMAIL ........
Most EXPERIENCED tube enthusiast USUALLY prefer the sound of
"Triode Connection" to "Ultra Linear"
for MORE REALISTIC HUMAN VOICES AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
( especially when using CD )
( It is a waste of time testing "High End" tube amplifiers with  )
( worn out 50 year old vinyl record , where the needle / stylus has ground away half of the treble )
Technically , the tube characteristic of "Triode Connection" tube will have ........
more EVENLY SPACED lines (means LESS DISTORTION)
and
line are MORE VERTICAL (meaning much lower output impedance = BETTER CONTROLLED BASS )
Most sane people , without damaged hearing, will listen at LESS 1 WATT
Most BIG DOMESTIC loudspeakers ( 12 inch or 15 inch )
and most BIG STUDIO MONITORS ( 12 inch or 15 inch ) will
OVERLOAD VERY BADLY , WITH A LOT OF DISTORTION
for 20 watts of LOUD DEEP BASS.
"Triode Connected" EL34 tubes or "Triode Connected" KT88 tubes
with fixed / adjustable bias + BIG output transformers
will EASILY EASILY EASILY produce 20 watts of LOUD DEEP BASS
and EASILY OVERLOAD most BIG DOMESTIC loudspeaker ( 12 inch or 15 inch )
and most BIG STUDIO MONITORS ( 12 inch or 15 inch ).
After reading all of the above ,
are you 100 percent sure that
a custom built Push Pull E156 ULTRA LINEAR amplifier
is going to sound better than
a EL156 TRIODE CONNECTION amplifier
or
our BEST KT88 TRIODE CONNECTION amplifier with HUGE POWERFUL OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS
and GUARANTEED LOW DISTORTION (with an PHOTOGRAPHS of EACH INDIVIDUAL amplifier on top of 2 different distortion meters )
Unlike the "typical;" salesman who want to make a profit from a sale,
we try to do WHAT IS BEST FOR THE CUSTOMER !
My suggestion is TALK TO ME.
Let us correspond with a few emails BEFORE YOU SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED CASH !
Will a CUSTOM BUILD EL156 TRIODE CONNECTION AMPLIFIER
sound better than a CUSTOM BUILD EL156 ULTRA LINEAR AMPLIFIER ?
If you have your heart set on your own CUSTOM BUILD EL156 ULTRA LINEAR AMPLIFIER,
we will more than happy to build one for you !
Yours sincerely,
Lim Aik Leong from England , probably the best LIVING tube amplifier designer ,
because many tube amplifier designers have retired or pass away.
Which valve amplifer for BIG POWERFUKL LOUDSPEAKERS ?
AS-3iENGLAND triode connect amp or KT88 Triode Connection ?
Question from eBay member in October 2013 = 
I've a set of Kef 104/2 reference speakers 
would I be better with the as-3iengland triode connect amp or the kt88 triode connect 
to run with these 4 ohm 200w speakers
Answer = . Our eBay listing of our MORE POWERFUL "KT88 Triode Connection" with BIG OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS will be MUCH BETTER , and will EASILY EASILY EASILY 'drive" BIG POWERFUL speaker like Kef 104/2 (with 2 pieces of 8 inch woofer hidden inside the cabinet) + my old "Research & DEvelopment" Kef Concerto (with odd shaped 13 inch by 9 inch woofer) + B&W Nautilus 802 (with 2 pieces of 8 inch woofers) + PMC MB2 studio monitor (with 12 inch woofers) + my old "reference speakers" of Yamaha NS-1000M monitors (with 12 inch woofers) + etc.
The amplifier will EASILY EASILY EASILY "DRIVE" 4 ohms or 8 ohms speaker because ........
The amplifier has
SEPARATE connection for 4 ohms speaker
AND
SEPARATE connection for 8 ohms speaker
The UNBELIEVABLE 200 watt claim is MISLEADING.
The loudest sound on most recording is the bass instruments.
If you pump 200 watts into the speakers ........
MOST of the 200 watts will be WASTED AS HEAT ,
and the CENTER of the 2 piece of 8 inch speaker (hidden inside the cabinet)
will get ALMOST AS HOT as 2 pieces of VERY HOT 100 watt light bulb.
I predict that the CENTER of the 8 inch speaker MIGHT start GLOWING RED HOT , MIGHT start SMOKING and MIGHT CATCH FIRE !
I dare you to pump 200 watts of LOUD BASS into your 200 watt speaker !
The watts that we use for loudspeakers is the SAME as the watts we use for light bulbs , electric heaters , etc
Please make use of your PRACTICAL EVERYDAY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
and do NOT believe the UNBELIEVABLE 200 watt claim !
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ( less shipping charges, during 1 month home trial ) that
our eBay listing of our POWERFUL "KT88 Triode Connection" with BIG OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS will
and produces AS GOOD BASS AS 500 WATTS TRANSISTOR amplifiers ,
sound AS LOUD AS 500 WATTS TRANSISTOR amplifiers ,
because MOST speaker (of ANY SIZE , ANY PRICE)
will STRUGGLE WITH 20 WATTS OF LOUD SEEP BASS !
Your sincerely,
Lim Aik Leong from Margate , Kent
