What current China import sounds like a CJ??

Agree with others here support the chinese at your own peril........or make that job. Nothing sounds like cj and if thats what you seek than save for a little longer. Your ears and in the long run your pocket book will thank you and maybe even your significant other if you have one. I have owned and supported cj for a while now and simply would not consider anything else.

Guys thanks for your feedback. I agree that with any new company U.S. or overseas you run the risk of support in the future. We all have seen some old names go down for the count the last few years. I know that Cayin and Prima Luna were copying designs but hoped that someone could give some comparsion to the older CJ premiere series. A used 11A and 14 will run 3k together. I loved the way that combination handled the female voice. If I could fine something new or nearly new for much less that had a similiar signature I would like to give it a try. Or a MV55 and PL14 might be a consideration. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

I'm with you. I just don't like the way amps made by adults sound. The highs are so much more extended, with a filagree lightness, when children make them. Is it their small hands, their lack of concentration, the fourteen hour days? Who knows, but I know what sounds good, and child labor is the way to go. For a really great experience, I prefer putting my oriental rug in front of my Chinese rig, while wearing my Brazilian loafers; there is a synergy with child-made products that can't be beat.

With child slave labor making all of the junk products coming out of China, what do all the adults do there?

Man, what a load of crap! I could run one of those new hybrid cars across country on the amount of natural gas ( or perhaps it's merely a political stew) supplied in the above replies.

Thanks for the laugh, but you gents need a reality check! While the Chinese are busy working around the clock and refining their products (some of which I've found to offer great bang-for-the-buck) we're here sitting on our hands and griping. It's no wonder they're catching up so fast...
