Some time ago I bough a Chinese clone of a very expensive Swiss amp. The clone is claimed to perform 99% as the original one and it costed about 15 times less than the cheapest amp I had before…According to the info I have, the parts are not cheap, however the amp is cheap. Does Aurender use extra super expensive parts to charge so much for their streamers, or does it have an exceptional design/patent that makes their streamers so expensive?
Well, good for you. How can you confirm the internal parts aren’t cheap crap and will hold up over time? You’re just gonna trust the word of some Chinese knockoff product company? If something goes wrong how will you get the amp serviced? Aurender has an excellent reputation and makes some of the best-performing streamers extant, which speaks for itself. I suppose you can maybe try to buy a cheap clone of an Aurender as well, but good luck with that and with your cheap Swiss-clone amp. You roll the dice and you take your chances. To each his own.
