Triode have an excellent reputation. One of the oldest Japanese manufacturers of tube amplifiers Run into them at my dealer locations in Japan. Signature red color. Their pricing has increased tremendously, though. Sign of the times.
Jason please do more coverage on these (at least in the USA) lesser known brands. You will find they are really excellent and certainly for triode there is a long history.
Line Magnetic has been around forever with very limited dealer network in the USA, just like Cayin..... I was considering Triode i but it has almost zero dealers in the USA a couple of years ago.
A few years ago I went there and they played their stuff on old timey band limited speakers which I didn't really think was too smart but who knows what their target customer is
