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.

Glupson - " While you are at stealing inventions, be ashamed of using some of the China’s."....... Actually, most adults realize that many nations have been "appropriating" technology from others since Adam. I sense that the real issue for the aversion to Chinese products has to do with their government’s current slave labor camps in its western provinces and the overnight "liquidation" of pro-democracy forces in Hong Kong these past months. And I’m ignoring the 10’s of millions who were silenced during the Cultural Revolution within our lifetimes. Call me a sentimentalist......Hard to "wrap" my head around your repeated attempts to draw moral equivalence.
Somebody broke into my house and replaced everything with exact replicas (Steven Wright joke).
mikeydred,

I understand that. How about Japanese? Any sentiment about Germans? Italians? French? Spaniards? Portugese? Turkish? Some of them make well-respected audio products, too.

Not to pound on moral equivalence, but another food for thought while being clear about China...
