OK, but surely fake transistors and diodes would soon fail or show-up in poor performance. The manufacturer says the pcb is Chinese, but, and perhaps I'm wrong here, he doesn't state that the populace of the board is.

Has anyone any evidence that there are errors in these pcb boards...as someone has opined?

I find it somewhat amusing that, having just been interested in another forum on £90 audiophile fuses...where subjectivity seems to be key....that here SQ seems to be marginalised.

Thanks


Again, has anyone either hard evidence of poor Chinese workmanship on this kit, and/or actually listened to this amp?
