Yep, that was my absolute last worry. besides, my EAR 834P has gold lettering on it so it won't be so lonely now.

Some years ago I came across a Ming-Da CD player which looked suspiciously similar to MHZS CD88G (please see the link below). I even wrote a letter to the Meixing factory but they told me they are not the same...

Yeah, that one looks really similar except for the dimensions of the player and the number of access panels on the top.
It's all a mystery. When you Google MHZS, you get the products, but nothing on the company. I have no idea who makes it. That's what makes this whole thing kind of a fun experiment.
The player arrived at the Phoenix FedEx center early this morning. I live up the hill in Flagstaff, so I should see it shortly.
Interesting.
Based on your research via Google, what made you purchase this CDP vs a Yaqin?
FWIW, it looks good.

Hi Dynobot,
It was several things:
1) Looks
2) 4 tubes vs 2
3) Main tubes are 12AX7 of which I have a good supply of good ones
4) Optical and Coax outputs if I need them in the future
5) I couldn't figure out the difference between the Yaqin 33 and 35 models aside from the transport closure
Sounds good to me.
More tubes should = more tubey flavor
Apparently Lampizator had some very good things to say about the CDP, lots of good Audiophile-grade features.
Enjoy!!

...I was about to purchase a Bada HD-26 CD player from China Hi-fi audio and also contacted Bada's dealer in Holland. He told me that Bada and MHZS CD players are manufactured by the same plant (though sound different)...
Please share your impressions.
Even Lampizator admitted that the MHZS player sounded "not bad".
I have the older version of the MHZS player (CD88F with silver buttons)and also have a more than 10-year old Cary CD-308T which was much more expensive. They are just different and I can't say which one is better...
Good to know. I hadn't really found much on the "H" version. Almost every report I found was on the older versions like yours. A lot of people have compared it to much more expensive units and found them quite comparable.
I figured it was worth the gamble.
A piece of advice: don't replace the stock tubes with their NOS equivalents (if you have them) too soon - I tried Telefunken 12AX7 (and did not like the sound at all), short plate Mullard 12AX (did not like the sound either - very pretentious, with very smooth and silky midrange (while this player benefits from punchy tubes) but with unnatural highs and exaggerated sibilants) and ended up with stock tubes (for more consistent sound). I liked vintage Brimar 12AX7 tubes, though...
Thanks for the tube rolling advice.
I guess the "H" version should be more refined.
