In Reply to: "Clone" amplifiers - can they be trusted? . . . posted by wangmr on June 25, 2015 at 06:46:01:
When I lived in China I went to a 5 star hotel with other colleagues and we all got food poisoning - you see they look at the picture of what a hamburger is supposed to look like but they don't actually learn how to cook at a proper school and get food safe certificates and because NONE of the restaurants in Whenzhou actually use soap to clean anything then it's a place where a proper bowel movement is as rare as finding the dodo bird. It's pretty sad that the safest thing to drink there is a can of coke and the safest food is at McDonalds. Gaining 25 lbs over the year was bad but the only way to survive.
Abrahamsen was the founder of the company and apparently left to form his own company selling the same looking products for a lot less money. Some feel they actually sound better too. Is that considered a clone? Perhaps not but it's probably better than buying a copy.
Companies that use quality parts and know how to do a proper job testing and reverse engineering could come up with their own products. If they need to copy they have no interest in audio and conversely no interest in you as a customer - they only have interest in taking your money.
