Anyone tried or tested one?

Link?

'Tonewinner', a name that could have been used for a Dansette or Binatone product.

I was looking at these and the possibility of testing one crossed my mind because those VU meters are awesome while also keeping AGAIK some originality.

Tonewinner makes the Emotiva stuff. I'd love to see the AT-300 pre/pro tested. https://summithifiusa.com/collections/tonewinner

They've been mentioned a few times in other threads as the likely OEM for several manufacturers.

I want to see the two channel amp with VU meter.

 

[pras1011]

But are Emotiva amps any good?

Mixed bag. The ones tested here weren't very good, but fairly cheap. What are you looking at specifically?

 

[pras1011]

I wanted to get nord class d but they are very expensive. The xpa gen 3 looks good but the specs are not as good as the hypex nc502mp.

None of the Chinese brands seem to be using Hypex or Purifi. Some Emotivas (I know, not a Chinese brand) use IcePower. I might accept IcePower performance to get a nice meter, depending on price. At some point you can just put Hypex modules in one of the really nice Chinese Accuphase clone cases, which I have also considered. I don't really like amps without meters. If I were to get some, it would probably be a pair of Schiit Vidars, or Benchmark, but I don't see the point if they lack good meters. Might as well keep running my tube gear or Marantz 22XX series stuff since it looks cooler.

Anyone bought one yet?

 

[Helicopter]

Nope. I ended up going with dual Hypex NC500MP in a nice Chinese case, but it is still a work in progress.

Seems like any Chinese gear has a preconceived bad perception probably based on the early days when everything was actually pretty cheaply made. I think Chinese manufacturers have a wider range of quality these days. I’ve had my AD-2500 for over a year now and it has been great.
