Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
asiaaudiosoc4 posts02-05-2021 4:10am.......Back on topic, if you look at the way Chinese counterfeits are made and sold you will realise they are not meant to replace the real thing and are also not meant to fool a buyer......... That might be tr...

ieales, interesting link, thanks 
Killer used integrated for <$500?
mcondo, I'll add one thing. My son bought that same integrated. The way he talked, it was pretty sterile sounding out of the box. Sound improved the longer it was run. Take care

What a bunch of BS, mahgister.  Poor people from poor countries can work. The governments that control those countries can actually design and build products that haven't been pirated from others. But that won't happen when others turn a blind eye...

What did your system look like 30 years ago?
Pioneer SX-750 receiver, Rotel turntable, Sharp cassette player, HPM100's.  Pieces were all about 13-14 years old, then.

People that produce counterfeit anything are thieves. It's no more complicated than that. People that buy things from thieves are either ignorant, or amoral.

question for Luxman L-590AX owners
One problem for me, like any other internet forum, is evaluating the answers that are offered. If it was my area of expertise, that would be great, but it's not. Are there differences in the design requirements for transformers between Class A, AB... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
Lot of this has been covered. This exact integrated amp has been dead quiet since I've owned it, which has been 3-4 years, up until a couple of months ago, when the hum started. It's been plugged into the same outlet since day one. I just now chec...

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts, jjss49. 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
snapoli, thanks. I've came to the same conclusion, although certainly nothing that I can prove. Mine's quiet enough that I can't hear it from a couple feet away, and certainly not when there's music playing. It still peeves me, because it's a rece... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
I'll add this post, for anyone that's interested. This afternoon I disconnected everything from the amp, my intent being to test it on another circuit. First, I took it downstairs and plugged it in there, mostly because it was on the way to where ... 
question for Luxman L-590AX owners
I know, kren, hard to keep everything straight, lol. I read about the DC line blocker a bit, sounds like a coin toss. If the transformer has an issue, it's not going to magically eliminate the problem. I'm not looking for Luxman to come clean on w...
