Sophia Electric is not honest


Sophia Electric tries to portray itself as an American company. As far as I know everything is made in China including their amps and tubes. Be careful in dealing with Sue as she often is less than truthful. Has anyone else had bad dealings with these people?

@koh_i_noor it is from 2020, get a grip. Not the first time these claims have been made. 

My interpretation.Having knowledge of international trade laws I can stipulate that if a manufacturer declares that the product is “Made in USA” then it has to have been constructed in that country.Conversely if it the logo says “Product of or Assembled in the USA” then the parts therein can be from any other country.

Would be interesting to see how Sophia Electric gets around this.

A whole lot of xenophobia in this thread mixed with a fair amount of racism. The complaint about a broken tube made me laugh though. People do know tubes are made of glass? Never pull a tube from the glass envelope. Grab the base.
Sophia Electric is a American company from the beginning that was funded by a Chinese investor. Not sure whether he is an immigrant of not but the products are made in USA in Virginia. Some things are manufactured in China, just like products made by Marantz, and a whole host of other "American" products. They make very good triode tubes. That I can attest to. Good luck starting a vacuum tube manufacturing business on US soil.

Personally  I have bought from them four times. Everything  Everything has come quickly. Each time has been sets of tubes. Personally  I wish they made  more tubes as I have found them musicality  satisfying.  I like the fact that I can order from on brand new tubes that sound very good. I cannot say that about other companies  products.  I have bought s pair of 274 rectifier  tubes from them a quad of kt88s a pair of 6sn7 and a pair of 6sl7  tubes been very pleased with each purchase.  I need to buy two octets  of EL34's  from them at some point.
