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.

dweller,

I beg your pardon...
BTW, It’s Math not Maths... (even my spellchecker flagged this one).
Now about that slave labor...
And " killing all spirit by the "noble" british empire" -Better work on your Hate as well, bub...


Is "It’s" after a comma really a capital letter?

Would there be a comma after "Math"?

Would the sentence be better if it did not start with "And" in that example?

Is space between quotation and Killing needed?

Should there be a space between the dash and "Better" as it is between "empire" and the dash?

A number of posts earlier in the thread discuss mahgister’s language skills. If your French is better than his English, you may try to tell him how you feel again.

Questions above are true questions. We all want to learn.

.......Back on topic, if you look at the way Chinese counterfeits are made and sold you will realise they are not meant to replace the real thing and are also not meant to fool a buyer.........
That might be true for some items, for others, the exact opposite is the case. There are multitudes of counterfeit Chinese goods on the market that have every last detail of the original, every marking, including the brand name. This extends to the packaging, as well. Ebay is full of items like this, the auctions/sellers are located in China.
A shame he doesn’t have a grammarchecker.
But, when one replies with such a weak retort, grammar may not be a priority.
I lived in Shanghai for 5.5 years from 2009 to 2014. The knockoff bags, shoes, backpack, watches, etc etc all looked very good! But they were total and complete s**t! All of it. 
Some of the larger established Chinese brands are actually pretty good. Shengya, Cayin, etc are pretty good and very well priced, especially bought in China. I would be very wary of these look a like knockoff amplifiers being any good and would also be concerned about the safety of the product. No free lunch. 
Think you said you are a reader of biographies. I doubt there is a more fascinating subject than Rimbaud.
One of the most extraordinary bio is about one of the most extraordinary man...

RIchard Francis Burton, the only genius, on par with Freud and Lévy-Strauss, in their fields, whom was a linguist speaking perfectly at least 45 or 55 languages, one of the greatest translator of English Litterature, one great Poet and Writers on hiw own, One of the greatest explorer of the British Empire, and a man among men, who beat 7 times the greatest french swordsman...


But the most incredible one is not this one...

Try William James Sidis, an easy man to evaluate... We can consult his conference at Harvard at 11 years old about the projection of 4 dimensional body in Euclidean 3 -d space... At this age he was speaking almost all main European languages and has already create an artificial language of his own, apparently better than Esperanto.... The list of his feats is too incredible to be believe... His I.Q. has no way to be measured by apes... He lived vouching to remain unknown but cannnot be successful....He discovered black Hole by theoretical reflexion like Laplace in his only physic book at 17 years old and published it on his name at 20... Norbert Wiener himself a prodigious genius speak of him in his autobiography and even Wiener seems less talented when we compared the speed of childhood development...


Some life are too extraordinary to be believe.... And so turn the earth....

Archimedes was so intelligent that if enough people on earth had understood him rightly at his times, humanity may have been able to travel to the moon one thousand years ago.... He created the infinitesimal calculus and the infinite concept before Newton did... But it was a greek who let few pages....Probably with Tesla, Ramanujan. Gauss and Goethe, and Leonardo, one of the greatest soul to live...

Imagine the genius of Goethe, a poet that use more words than Shakespeare and Rabelais, and a first order biologist, contradicting Newton and refutating it about the physics of colors....Goethe was so intelligent that the philosophy of his time has no appeal to him and he founded the philosophical phenomenology on more secure ground than even Husserl after him....
