Sorry, couldn't resist. I assume you mean mass market clones? If someone is willing to steal a design why would you trust them for quality? Correct me if I'm reading you the wrong way.

There are plenty of well respected commercial designs currently produced that are "stolen" from engineering books from the last century.
Old designs with new parts and meticulous layout sound better than old designs with crappy parts and layout.
Older designs laid out and build by the designer of the original circuit may sure sound a lot better than someone in another country rehashing a design that they may not completely understand.
A good way to mask that is to sprinkle in some fancy parts...
I suppose I jumped the gun and assumed that he mean clone of an existing, in production product. My bad.....possibly.
It's a blurry line. I bet you could find a current product that's a copy of an established historical circuit, only to find that there's also a Chinese knockoff (is it really a knockoff at this point?).

That "question" could be answered many ways because it has no point of reference. Perhaps the OP will indulge us with an example.
of how clones are perceived generally; reputation in other words in the audiophile world.

My concern, as a customer, is that some clone builders (or sellers) claim about the genuine product's reputation to rise their priceSome attempt to dissimulate the fact that it is a clone
