hiendmmoe I must respond: Yes, China is beginning to sends rovers to extraterrestrial bodies. There are no parts available to US (or British, etc) designers that the Chinese cannot get, especially since they manufacture for many American companies. You would have to be racist to think they cannot do this. Admittedly, at one time I fell in this category by thinking Japanese cars and racers would ever compare to AMURRIKUN, but we live and learn. We should not wonder if the Chinese can, bur why they do what they do. When a Chinese product is truly good, the company will proudly market it. If it is a POS, it will have someones else's brand on it.
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.

cid194532 posts02-05-2021 4:46pmI’ve never heard of well known brands like Luxman or Accuphase knockoffs. Seems they would be easy to spot or the price would be the tipoff. The Chinese are making some excellent amps at very good prices. Their designs look old school and nostalgic.The price is always the 'tip-off', but only when new. After the piece reaches the secondary market, all bets are off. This is when unscrupulous resellers crank up the selling price to that level at which an unknowing buyer can't believe his 'good fortune'. |
here is a copy dartzeel, for some reason they do like to copy this brand, https://www.ebay.com/itm/123084929570 |
