prices of secondhand british audiolab are inflated becouse they are suposed to be far better than the newer china made units. has anybody actually listened to them side by side,becouse some 15 year old kit is selling for 90% of the new price ... mad

In the majority of cases - and certainly this one - the myth of Chinese lack of quality in the hi-fi sector is based on ignorance and/or xenophobia.
I have no problem with the desire to buy British, but I wish it didn't have to be so often accompanied with sweeping generalisations about kit built elsewhere.
