China built tube amps

What is seldom talked about is a conditioner!

where I reside the electric source is a mess and v noisy. I purchased a conditioner

from Furman and it made an audible difference. One of the few “tweaks” that was worthy!

this year I purchased a Streamer, an integrated amp, a turntable, and speakers that were all refurbished from the manufacturer directly! I did not save anything- I just spent less! Many manufacturers offer outlet or b stock items with full warranty. This is probably due to consumers who can decide what to buy and return. If one looks carefully refurbished gear is plentiful from any manufacturer!

I only wish I did this over the years!

But the line conditioner was a good find!

I suggest that all get familiar with what is humanly audible vs what is pushed!

Can we hear the difference between a file that is 44.1 vs 96 vs 320 sample rate?

can we hear the difference between 15, 18 , 24 or 32 bit rates of the same music file ?

it’s time to enjoy the music-

I’ve got a McIntosh Mc275 and all the McIntosh tube are made in China...
I bought it in 2012 and just one week after it worked one of KT88 has burned and one of a 12AX7A of my C220 preamp. wicht it was replaced by a SOVTEK "made in Russia"
All the tubes are McIntosh’s brand but made in china...

Forget China! Member autospec (Will Vincent) builds and sells here on Agon nicely modded Dynaco ST70's. The ST70 holds the record for "most produced and sold" tube amp ever! I own an original along with one of Will's SET 45's. Excellent craftsmanship! 

Many electronic products are made in Asia.  Some are well-made and of extremely high quality.  I think the biggest problem is warranty and service: If something goes wrong, will you be able to get the equipment serviced in the US or will you have to send it to Asia?  Obviously the latter is a problem.
