Things to Know
Aiyima A07 Max
- ⚠Vents are located on the bottom/sides, which is better than the original but still relies on passive convection.
- ⚠Some users report 'sparking' at the DC input jack when connecting power (connect brick to wall last).
- ⚠Aux output is not a true variable pre-out.
Willsenton R8
- ⚠Bias drift is common; owners need to check and adjust bias frequently during the first few months.
- ⚠Stock preamp tubes (6SN7/6SL7) are often noisy or microphonic; immediate replacement is recommended.
- ⚠Extreme weight makes shipping it back to China for warranty claims financially impossible.
