Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
There are a lot clones coming out of China and power amplifiers seem to be along for the ride.
Mark Levinson, Goldmund, and Accuphase are some of the big names I see replica’s being advertised for sale. These replica’s range in price from $500-$2000. My curiosity every time I see these always is do they even sound like the brand they are trying copy? Another thought that comes to my mind when I see them is, are they even safe or reliable. I myself wouldn’t touch one of these, but that’s me. Has anybody heard one? If so it would be interesting to hear some opinions regarding these amplifiers.

yogiboy, funny, thanks Mashugana Ike mentioned here (spelled wrong sometimes) https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/17130-the-death-of-the-home-stereo-system/page/6/ OP, sorry to wander from your discussion. |
Until China ends this illegal trade in knock-offs and stealing IP rights, Trump is correct. China is not fit to trade with other nations. A friend of mine bought a fake Rolex years ago. He showed it to me while we were sitting by the pool in Thailand. I could see it was fake (watch out, they're a lot better now although cost a lot more than $20. Anyhow, I wanted him to admit it was fake. So I waited til we got up to go in the pool. He started to take it off. I said: no Graham, that's waterproof to 2000 feet. He said, no not this one. |
Guys, I think your anger is misdirected here. You should go and discuss it here... World Trade Organization - Home page - Global trade (wto.org) |
