You might as well ask if a Hundai is 90% of a Mercedes or an outfit off the rack at Walmart is the same as a coture outfit from Europe. No doubt the rig from China sounds good, the Hundai gets you there and the Walmart garb looks fine. The democratization of premium goods is a fiction that has been promoted by the Costcos of the world. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.....unless of course you find a fly in your soup.
Jadis JP200 and Marantz 7 clones from Hong Kong
Hello,
Does anybody know much, or having experience, with all those Marantz, Matisse and Jadis preamp clones that apparently being marketed by several eBay sellers from Hong Kong?
Surely one could not possibly expect paying USD $500 to match the original $27K JD200. But if it's like 85%-90% of the sound, and the preamp is reliable, that may be something to consider.
They do look like being manufactured in China.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
