Sounds like a $5000 Integrated amp but only $1600


Has anyone listened to the Dussun V8i Integated amp yet? http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=28946.0

I haven't heard it, but I own a Kavent A-210 that I like quite a bit -- it's also from China, so it's probably the same amp with a little different sheet metal and cheaper connecters for only $999.

Some of the Chinese electronics sound surprisingly good.
I auditioned it, and I returned it. Big, warm sound with overemphasis in the lower frequencies and grain in the upper midgrange. It has an "Oh Wow!" factor upon first listen because it sounds big and balsy, but extended listening reveals its flaws and lack of refinement.

It's a $1600 integrated that performs in keeping with its price, IMO.
Here's the hubub regarding this amp:

Cw,
why would you attack the author if this link is already too well-known to the most of our community?

These guys are in business long time ago and simply do the straight forward marketting...
I feel that Cwlondon is completely out of line with his attack. In the future however, Hifisoundguy, I would advise you to use a question mark in the heading of your post rather than within your post. The Dussun V8i is a very good integrated amplifier. I auditioned it and it is definitely one of the best buys in audio. It is a little to the warm and smooth side but definitely a bargain for it's power and build quality. If it had separate pre-outs to connect a subwoofer I would have kept it.
