High-end audio rep business?

Besides watches I’m also very occupied with high-end audio equipment. I’ve seen a lot of Chinese amps that are cheap and sound ok-ish but I’m curious if there is a serious rep business in this space too?

And I’m talking about seriously good high-end reps of audio brands like Boulder, Dartzeel, Audio Research, d’ Agostino, Lamm, Esoteric, Puccini, Chord, etc.

Any experiences?

I'd be curious too, but I don't think it exists. There is just too big of a difference in the build quality.

I know that there are reps of interconnect and speaker cables. Maybe there are different grades of them, like super-reps, ok reps etc. But the ones I listened to were inferior to originals.

I don't think there is a market for it, otherwise they probably would have.

There are good quality Chinese amps (esp monoblocks) but not sure if any actual reps.

Rep audio would be a little odd. It may look like gen but when you turn it on.......

there are great quality smaller name brands out there that give you more bang for your buck.

Check out the av forums and it will give you a good starting point
