sorry not sure why my last post never came through

I ordered an Avalon 737 a few months ago only to find out it wasn’t working, so I retuned it and got my replacement today yet again to find out it too wasn’t working properly . I’m guessing this is from a faulty batch and I having waited 3 months for a replacement has really pee’d me off. So I think I’ll cut my losses and ask for a refund, but I really require a good quality amp, so what are the alternatives to the Avalon 737? I only have £1400 to spend, by the way. I need a good pre that’s suitable for recording Rap and r&b, thanks for any help given..

In case any one asks what the problem was with both pre's... well i kept getting this humming sound and some static sound whenever I turned the knobs, I did remove the ground link but that made no difference and my cables were fine as they worked perfectly with my older pre.
