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.

"Being lazy i deduced the meaning of the words often from the context without going much in a dictionary at the times..."

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.

I was just trying to point out that you are not lazy, but that you simply advanced to next level.

  Among those for whom English was not a first language:  Joseph Conrad, Vladimir Nabokov, Anais Nin, Henry Kissinger.  I don't think MG needs to defend himself!   one of the problems with writing in one's 'first language' is that it is a seemingly inexhaustible source of vacuous cliches and expressions.
