Do chinese tube preamp/amp clones interest you?


Hi all,

looks like there a quite a few clones of almost iconic gear available, e.g. this is an example

Have you ever wondered how they sound, are tempted to try them out, maybe even get it as a kit?

Or better even, got them and can report back?

Inquiring minds would like to know,

cheers

I think the "clones" that China produces are a theft of intellectual property at best, and are crap in a nice looking case at worst.

China has proven they are capable of producing good equipment AND good brands.  Line Magnetic is a perfect example of a Chinese owned brand that was developed in China that people love. 

This kind of stuff is what makes people angry and harms all Chinese manufacturing IMO.  


I like their guarantee. If there is anything wrong, you must pay the return shipping. They could ship you a bag of rocks and you need to pay to return it.
Looks like a great kit! You have the option to either put an Audio Research label on it make your own! I would use....ACME!

That culture has no boundaries.
