| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Glupson, “How many people here have bought a knock-off amplifier from North Korea?” Is not an argument.

| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? And interestingly, I can’t stand dealers and find them to be the dial telephones of the new century.
