I deal with Sophia semi-regularly. I don't think they are dishonest. Communication leaves something to be desired in that they can be out-of-stock and not tell you till after you order.
They are a marketing company. I don't think it is a secret that their tubes are made by Shuguang and TJ Fullmusic.
I have not heard their amps are produced in China. If that is the case, their margins must be spectacular since they are charging western prices and explicitly say their amps are made in Virginia. Who told you or what evidence do you have that their amps are made in China?
