This is a full review of classic JLH 1969 by BrzHiFi - called A100.
Again, this is one of the recommendations from you guys. A lot of you asked me if I heard this one, and how does this Hood compare to Musical Fidelity A1 clone.
I have to admit that I am curious myself, it was one of three small, value amps I wanted to hear.
Do you realize that this is 55 years old invention? It's mind boggling!

So, here it goes - full review video! And yes, it is good. Is it better than MF A1 clone?
That will require another, longer listening session as both of them present great, tube-like sound quality. So, stay tuned, I will definetely compare them.

You can get yours from the same shop I got mine from (so tested as safe and reliable - and has exactly the same units as in review, as very often the same chassis can have more or less different iternals):
