Hey, guys.
In the past year-plus, I've watched a few videos discussing various Chinese clones of famous amplifiers whose patents have ended. I think it's time for me to try one or two. Have any of you heard any of the clones?
I think I'll try the NHB-108 D9pro first, and <perhaps> later try one of the Accuphase clones.
I hop on a flight to the US tomorrow night, so I'll be home in ~48 hours.

Welcome back, Michael. Clones have fascinated me a bit. I am wondering if the parts are mediocre or if they have some high quality parts. I will be interested in your thoughts.

The models cloned are very old designs where patents have expired. For me I cannot support that or any Chinese product as an American. No offense meant Michael.
