an in depth article on the 10L is here.

I used to own the 10T, which is essentially the same but with some slight changes to run the 12AT7 instead of the 6N1P. Sonically speaking, it was a good - but not great - amplifier. However it was reliable and I logged a few hundred hours on it before selling.

The qinpu is a hybrid i.e. Tube front end but solid state output. The Yaqin is all tube, I have owned mine for many years without any problems. Most owners will tell you to exchange the front end 6N1's for other makes as the sonic improvement is very noticeable. If you get the MC-10T then this would appear to be an even better choice, my friend bought one and as a consequence of hearing it, I am in the process of converting my MC-10L into a MC-10T. Like all Tube amplifiers, you have to be prepared to check it over as you clock up running hours, the qinpu would probably not require as much periodic checking.

Thanks for the feed back. I'm still reading some of the reviews of yaqin and qinpu.

Thanks again

I bought the Yaqin MC-10L and am quite happy with it, the build is pretty good and the quality is above its price. I did some mods that you can see on my website but the amp by itself is quite good. I recommend the Canadian seller tabnac or something like that if interested, great experience.
