HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES?

audio2design   What part of the news programs that reported on catch bets being placed on the ground below multi-floor factories in China did you miss?  I can't imagine that workers are jumping out of windows to end their lives if their labor is not forced.  

andysf  You might check to see if you should I believe you need to dismantle your system and return most of the innards to China.  Still, all of my electronic were made in North America, and since the 1970's I have only used British (also English Speaking) British.  I do have Japanese tuners (3 of 4) and a Japanese CD player, but that country is not full of CPF's, of which I am one.

My golden, metered Phase Linear 400 was much more fun to watch than my Black, three LED (ON, Clip left, Clip Right) Audire amps, but for fun, I can turn the power way up on system 2, and watch the old B&W's  light up the LED's as it diminishes the sound to save the drivers from drunken fools.

     Just like many Walmart shoppers, of which I am certainly not,  if an audio product from China were good enough and the right price, I might try it, but so far, all of my electronics are American or Canadian, and my speakers are British, with only American ones before  that.  Does that mean I am prejudiced against non-English speaking people.  No:  Even though I prefer blonds, I certainly have not restricted myself to them.
     As far as the politics of China,  At least here in America, we can rest in peace knowing that our corporate rulers would never pay low wages and deny basic human benefits simply to buy a bigger jet or yacht, huh?  Or, in Melania's case, the  $50,000 purse from her collection, that she was recently carrying in news clips.
