Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

I was trying to not buy Chinese but then I needed some underwear and a new coat . Gets cold here in Minnesota.
All jokes aside , Chinese CP is terrible ,but the Chinese people are NOT !I have about 20 good Chinese friends in Twin Cites , all Chinese born,am elderly and live alone in a Condo
Almost every day one of them is bringing real Chinese food, fixing whats broke and doing anything I need etc.Their culture is to honor the elderly and ,boy, do they ever.


About half of them are 19-20 old students at U of MN.

I have had a PL HP power amp for about 4 years now, purchased used for 3-4K.   I enjoyed tube rolling and auto bias, settling in on various combinations with three different speakers over that time.  Had lots of fun doing so.  Driving Maggies now and am very happy.  I did not consider where the amp was made when I purchased it, and frankly gave it almost no thought afterwards.  at that price point, I have no complaints and would buy it again.
As I have upgraded speakers, pre, DAC, cables, in the past 3 years, everything happened to be American made, and, all things being equal, I would pick the American product.  Next in line for upgrade is the amp, sometime in 2021. Will I look only at American made? Not by choice, but thinking my budget will be 8-10k, I suspect there won’t be any Chinese candidate. 

I own a PL Dialog Premium preamp and really like it.  When I plugged it in it for the first time, I finally understood what reviews and listeners referred to as "holographic".  Well made, solidly built.  Recommended if this fits someone's budget.

I can understand some buyers' reluctance to purchase Chinese made products, whether for political reasons or past stigma, but they are doing themselves a disservice by not giving them a try or listening.

I also wouldn't mind giving Line Magnetic a listen.

I have to say that I love my PL DiaLogue Premier HP with the stock tubes. It is pared with my Focal Utopia Diablo III's and it is a great combination.  Really makes them sound fantastic.  Other things that I like about it are the hassle-free tube maintenance, auto-biasing, the lights to show a tube failure, switching from Pentode to triode from the remote.  at 75 wpc, it has  enough to drive the Focal's.  I listen to a lost of jazz and classic rock and it handles everything and sounds great.  So there is definitely love going around.  I've even thought of getting another one and switching to monoblock on the back, which put out 150 wpc!

This really goes for their output transformers very much so.
 I posted up on page two a graph where the output transformer rings like a bell in the vhf this can sometimes be band-aid fixed (settled a little) by using a **** load of feedback, but doing that is not good.

 Because global feedback is not a good thing and should only be used in small doses as a clean up tool, better off to use local feedback anyway, but that would not have an effect on curing this vhf output ringing.
