Anyone familiar with these amps and how good they are/aren't?

Happened to be skimming through some amp reviews and saw someone put a link to the website that had these on it:

http://detail.china.alibaba.com/buyer/offerdetail/595327870.html?domainId=meixingmingda

 

Anyone familiar with either of these brands (?) or the website itself? Are these any good or just a waste of money? And does anyone have a Chinese-American dictionary?

The first link is an amp that has got many favourable reviews here on head-fi.

 

I dunno about the second amp.

 

Its ranked 9th in Skylabs list of 25 tube amps. Not too shabby.

However since you are in the US, consider a Woo WA3 instead as you will get better support and an arguably better build amp.

It means the site could attempt to install software without your consent that could potentially damage your computer.

 

I suggest you stick with the Woo W3 since you are in the US. If you wish to spend less and are willing to wait for 2 - 3 weeks, there is a new Schitt Valhalla tube amp thats also made in the US. It comes with a cool 5 year warranty.
