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.

I noticed this too. Not being critical, just curious. The style of expression is sometimes very much in keeping with English as a second language, but at other times it's markedly more sophisticated. He always strikes me as very decent too. Not like many of us here. Interested to know more Mahgister...
Do not buy a clone amp they will have low grade parts, circuits, sound and performance. Real is Real for a reason and in this case it would be a big mistake to take the gamble.

People here are very generous with me....

Thanks...

Even if i never spoke English in my life, save for few minutes sometimes, i listened to english everyday....

Being lazy i deduced the meaning of the words often from the context without going much in a dictionary at the times...Now with a computer it is way more easy.... This is particularly easy to read not knowing English much with science litterature which is generally very gross...i dont read novel much in english....Biographies sometimes....Mostly science or maths books...

My first English ectasy apart for Poetry reading like Emily Dickinson for example come from philosopher like George Santayana incisive but magnificent prose... I remember reading his philosophical point in his book about scepticism and faith and gradually losing my grip on his subtle reasoning but going on anyway in awe by his style and his fluid embodied thinking... It was my first conscious english ectasy....I hoped my english would have been better to read him more deeply engaged at the time....

That is how you actually learn it in, let's call it, "second stage". First you go to the dictionary and once you start getting more "involved" there is no time for dictionary.
