It gets daily use and has performed flawlessly. They are no longer in production, but occasionally they turn up on the used market for less than $1000., including on Audiogon.

Inexpensive can be good and almost everything is made in China anyway. Just be careful not to spend too much on gear with no solid back up, return, or repair policy.
