Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

Words from the original post...

"Point to point wiring, auto bias, protection circuits, easy tube rolling, good parts and build quality."

Words from one of the responses...

"Sadly, the Orwellian tactics (ie. "ignorant Republican") and barbarity some people will rationalize or "blur" for their "cause" is still a necessary cautionary tale for those unwilling to close their eyes...."

Time to get back on course?

It’s like trying to make a u-turn in a container ship here sometimes. Good luck Glupson!

This year I am upgrading all my equipment.

I am trying to buy from North America and support the smaller audio companies.

I just received a Raven Blackhawk Mk.3.1 Integrated (2020 update) which I am using to power some Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers w/RAAL.

I only have to use 1/4 turn to drive the Towers. The speakers are even more holographic now that I have added the Blackhawk. 

My cables are all Raven Audio and I was shocked at how extremely well built all the cables were. The amp is extremely well built, with excellent parts from all over the world. Raven is a class act.

I am glad to see great equipment from Asia at a good prices like the Doge 10 or the Willsenton R8.  Can you listen to them before you buy, or do they offer a period of time to decide if you want to keep them?

There are many North American companies that don't get the press Asia is starting to get now. Many of them do offer a 30 or 45 day return policy.

I love my Raven. Thanks Dave, James and Bryant for your excellent products and support.

From what I have read online, most people seem pretty happy with their Prima Luna gear. Seems to be well made and supported by the US distributor.
Prima Luna is made in the Cayin/Spark factory. Cayin/Spark is a subsidiary of Zhuhai Spark Electronic Equipment Co, LTD. which is owned by China National Aero-technology Import and Export Corporation (CATIC). CATIC is owned by the Chinese government. CATIC is also a manufacturer of military aviation products and supplies both China and abroad.In other words, Prima Luna is made in direct partnership with the Chinese government. There is a very good chance that at least some of the parts have been made by slave labor. I know there are lots of ways of rationalizing buying things like this but there are too many other good alternatives from countries that don’t have slave work forces. I would hate to find out one day that my pleasure came from another person’s misery.This is just my choice. In the end it is a personal decision based on my experience in the world.

Pretty sure MC started this, bringing everything down a notch by linking “stop the steal” and freedom of expression.  WTF?  Audiogon does rhyme with QAnon, but maybe we should resist the politics.
