I got one clone like the Acuphase A60 and it will blow your mind away once you listen to it (4 massive caps, 2 large toridial transformer). Remember many high end amps, turntables, and speakers are made in China. Brands like Emotiva, Schiit, Outlaw have used parts from China to put together their preamps and amplifiers. High End brand name Yamaha is built in China with many of their parts made there. Those Aluminum knobs are definately from a a Chinese plant in Guangzhou.
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.
