Please do not flame me, this is only my thoughts formed over the last month and a half.
I was not like this before, but now I do think about things like the following: the Meitner audio gear is designed and manufactured by our Canadian brothers and sisters. Many of the other DACs that are being discussed as fantastic are designed and manufactured in China and it would probably not be an exaggeration are one more thing ultimately funding the Communist Party.
I realize that half of what we buy is from China, but maybe we need to start thinking differently when purchasing big ticket items from Communist countries. I think we are seeing a vivid demonstration of ultimately what they would love to do to us.
If anyone objects to this post I will gladly delete it, maybe I am the only one who is thinking this way.
