Cheap Neve clones at Beijing Palm Expo

Well, I assume they're cheap! Couldn't get a price on them. And I probably shouldn't say clones. Anyway...

Right, I emailed John Ma for more info, looks like I didn't need to.

Here's me thinking I've discovered something new and there's already a 20 page thread!

Too late, you said it, & they have those magical numbers, 73, 81.. They must be clones, if not the real thing.. I read it on the internets..

John Ma sent me this attachment this morning.

Apologies if this has already been shared in the mega-thread, but at least this one is concise.

Check out the Golden age Pre73 thread on another chines 73 style pre (minus eq section),
I'm sure it wont be long before these guys will produce a discrete 2520 opamp based clone.

I wonder who will be the first to jump on the MOD train and offer transformers and high quality components upgrade for these...

Could we have pdf´s for 81 & 84 also?
Modell mp81 faceplate markings are somewhat confusing,
it would be nice see a better picture (or have it corrected if needed ) as I orderd those.

Cheers

It's kind of weird because the next thing will be the comparison between this (a Chinese knock-off) and the Chameleon Labs (a Chinese knock-off). It's just kind of funny that we'll all be clamoring to find out WHICH cheaper knock-off is more of the "Real Neve."

However.....I wanna know......
