Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com

I ordered once from China-Hifi-Audio.com, and it worked just fine. It was power amp and preamp. Fast response, fast and secure shipping, and yes, the shipping was very expensive. But I think it will cost at least as much if I ship an item with the same weight to China from US.

A few other audio items (a tube amp, cables, ...) from different merchants from China worked fine too. However, I had some problems with non-audio items purchased from China -- items never arrived or different items arrived, and ended up losing money.

A posting like this from a new user raises the questions though. 

Lots of xenophobia and racism evident in some of these comments. For those "America First" parrots, look at your iPhone, look at every appliance in your home, look under the hood of your car: "Made in China." And hey, guess what, it's great quality. The reason there's so little anything still made in the US is you and I want our stuff cheap, and aren't willing to pay high US wages. Yes, there's still lots of high-quality audio gear made here, so feel free to buy it if you can afford it. Will it sound better than the much less expensive "Chi-Fi" gear? Maybe, maybe not. Just don't let ignorance and prejudice guide your decision.

And it would be ignorant not to believe that the horribly repressive government of China has its finger in every pie in the country.

A lot of folks posting on here are making the point that they do not care to, as much as possible, subsidize labor camps, repression of basic freedoms and genocide.

But hey, if you do, be glad you live in a country that allows you that freedom.
