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.

If they can do that they can easily clone and Amp


I agree that they could and sometimes do,but they rarely (if at all) clone an amp perfectly.


As there is nowhere near as much reward in copying an amplifier ....as there is in copying even the most mundane of computer cards and/or computer technology.
