I recently had a post deleted for trying to start a discussion on a particular headphone amplifier, claiming to be a clone of a well-known product. Should we be allowed to discuss such amps, or should we accept being censored/protect the companies, who invest time and money developing the products?

Seriously......... I think it's a bit silly to call just about any amp a "Clone" unless you can POSITIVELY say all the parts used & the skill of whoever it is putting the amps together are the exactly the same
on every possible level . (Yeah....I'm fairly sure those calling these amps clones really can't confirm this info)

Everyone through history , knowingly or unknowingly, has borrowed things from others........ It's called life !

That is certainly true, in my eyes at least. And another good argument for why we should be allowed to discuss whatever we want on this board.
