Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com

We're not talking cars here. So, are you going to buy a car made in China? Yeah, I thought so...

I remember when this forum DIDN'T have people talking out of their a$$es.

RE: Junk from China. This just isn't the case any longer. Understand and embrace the retail price point vs comparable gear from US manufacturers and its a quick study to determine that the value is there, hands down. Be smart about your purchase with a bail out plan in advance so you can unwind with minimal pain (this is called Amazon lol) in the event things so south (or east in these cases).
Far as product performance, I gave the R100 805 a very in depth sonic review in my current system (which uses a Theta Dreadnaught I SS Amp) and after many many hours and three or four configuration changes, I can't make it sound better than my SS amp. This is of no fault to China, or the design, or the parts quality, or topology, or the glued on face plate (which would likely lasted quite a while if it was handled appropriately during shipping)....
Its because (IMO) its a tube amp, with all its non-linearities, just like every tube amp I've tried to replace SS with over the last 30+ years.
I intend to post a full review in the coming weeks.
For what it is, its OUTSTANDING for the money when compared to the multiples (Like 15K-30K) one could spend for esoteric gear that has near zero (if any) sonic difference.

Sorry you had a bad experience and good warning for everyone.

However its a bit irksome that a comment like "Never order anything no matter how it looks from China." made it into the replies.

Making broad-sweeping statements like that is what turns an informative thread into something less useful.

I am a proud owner of various Topping and Denafrips gear, hasn't broken once, came with 3-5 year warranties and is primarily serviced out of Singapore.
