I would be most happy to have somebody give the name of Mapleleafs3 and address, e-mail etc. He just recently posted a negative review on the PrimaLuna Pro 2 saying it looked cheap sounded horrible, etc. Also made the same statement about the Ah! Tjoeb CD player. They were so blatant they were pulled by audioreview.com
For him to say it uses cheap parts flys in the face of every word from owners and reviewers alike. It's finish and build was compared to an Aston Martin by a reviewer that had done a photo shoot on the cars for publication. This mapleleafs3 fellow pumps Rogue Audio real hard in most every post, and I consider Mark O'brien of Rogue a friend. But there assembly is quite different than ours.
PrimaLuna is the only brand that makes a point of taking apart every model in high resolution photos of the inside. Who else will do that? We don't say we use "Alps Potetiometers" but the Alps Blue Velvet which is much more costly.
Forgive me for being defensive so I will step down now. But something is smelly here.
One last thing on "sweat shops". Some of the most American names in audio get their circuit boards stuffed overseas. The PrimaLuna product is designed in Holland and all production is overseen by our people their. I would be most happy to compare service records to any brand tube or solid state.
I would be most happy to have a discussion with mapleleafs3 privately. But even more grateful for this persons identity.
