We might assume they are GENIUSES at making amps, as they are SO bad at translating. I can't even figure out what they WERE trying to say...

I'm interested in your opening statement:
"The Chinese are making a lot of great looking (and excellent sounding) tube amps for home HIFI use. One is by YAOIN"
Are you saying that the YAOIN amps are also excellent sounding? I've not heard one but I see them for sale sometimes but can't find any info on them on the web, my usual trick of searching for reviews of stuff before purchasing is not working.
What do you know of these amps in particular the YAOIN VK-2100?

If you do some online research, there is a HiFi movement for vintage style tube/valve amps.
(There always has been - since they were new, only now the price of manufacturing is down and the cost of the old gear has gotten excessive.)
Yaoin is just one of several manufacturers on the web/ebay with interesting designs. I have another recent Chinese amp here, amazing to look at, and it has SIMPLE, clean wiring paths (based on older designs from the 50s). The Chinese are really getting some style points, as well as making some good gear...
