My understanding was that AN had some issues with a run of their caps having early failures (but that they fixed them for free with a better cap). I've had no problem with my OTO Phono SE bought back in 2003. I would not say they're exactly battleship build quality.
Chinese labor may be better - if they make a defective part they're probably taken out back and beaten. In the UK if you tell the employee he made a mistake you'll probably get sued for making them feel bad. I'm being facetious.

It seemed to be issues regarding caps circa 2006-2007 where caps were failing. Peter was on this forum and Bottlehead taking them back and replacing them for free even well out of warranty. They were copper oil caps. I can't find it but Peter had a page dedicated to cap issues from that time period and that they would be replaced with newer models - Possibly why there are no AN M3 MKIII versus MKII.
