Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?

I was the owner of a company that made work over rigs (like a mini oil derrick on wheels for fixing wells).  We had a supplier in China who manufactured certain parts for us.  Had QC problems that we helped them through.

Ton”reward us”, they would make 100 parts for us (a part they was largely consumable) and 100 parts for them they would sell with our name on it.  Identical stuff.  Realized there is zero way to stop the theft.  They straight up thought it was fine to do.  No concept of personal property rights.

So we stopped using them and changed our specs arbitrarily so their part wouldn’t fit.  They went broke.

This is 100% true of anything made in China.  

There is a tube, class a/b with dac I am trying to get my hands on to review. USD $1900. Should be interesting…

@glupson "...buy American so your home don’t burn down.” I am guilty, :-), I am buying “made in China” Apple iphones, computers and many other things.. as of HiFi related cables, typically China’s brands require some additional work to do to make them good! I have personal Audio Lab with all tools/test to make sure everything I use is up to spec.
