I have some decent tube gear. MC240, 275 and MC75s. Fisher 30A monoblocks. A Lance Cochrane scratch built amp. And a Mingda MC34-AB integrated tube amp. The quality, even when I had the original tubes in it was spectacular. I A/B'd it with some audiophile friends against the LC and the MC240, and it held its own. Point to point wiring underneath. Quality components. I'm sure there's crap out there. But not all of the Chinese made products are crap.
