One word on the Mac gear, re-sale. They are not classics for no reason. That said, the new 275 is superior to the vintage in the sonics department. This is the opinion of Terry De Wicke who repairs old Macs. But if you want a 225 you will have to go vintage. Go to www.audiokama.com and check out the Mac forum.

The Chinese stuff is cheaper, so are the parts used, think transformers. Especially in the SET's. There are few of these amps that do not need tweaking before they see service. It is just economics. Labor is cheaper there and they are killing themselves with pollution because of no environmental controls. Unbridled Capitalism. We did the same thing here 100 years ago.
