Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio?


With the insane prices now being asked for audio equipment from manufacturers around the globe is china going to fill in the gap between the haves and have-nots.? We are already seeing some signs of this with manufacturers like Jays Audio and Denafrips offering product-performance prices below global market value. The only thing I see holding them back is they will always be one leg behind the rest of the world since they copy most of the technology they use and world wide acceptance.

I'm a British audio guy, engineered, designed and made in the UK. Most of what I own is UK made. Yes, some of what I own, the ancillary equipment, is made in China, hard to avoid. 

You judged more than one billion people by anecdotes and ridiculous affirmation..

NO, NO, NO @mahgister.  You jumped to that grossly exaggerated assumption and then go completely off the rails adding "anecdotes" and "ridiculous affirmation".  Did not say China is incapable of innovation in any field, only high end audio. There are very few true innovators worldwide in audio.  

I stated FACT from first hand college experience and discussion with multiple people doing business in China. I will take first hand experience from credible people over studies any day.

You have different FIRST HAND experience to offer not produced by others, let's hear it. 

 

High end audio is a specialized niche and i dont know about it in China...

My point Is about your caricature:

In laboratory work, most Chinese students fell to just average.  Some did not have the common sense to keep their fingers out of live electrical circuits.

I stated FACT from first hand college experience and discussion with multiple people doing business in China. I will take first hand experience from credible people over studies any day.

I will trust more a study done by a serious group in Australia, which is not friend of China AT ALL ,  about chinese leadership in many high tech fieldsover gossip presented as facts..

You speak as someone who could say with the same kind of prejudices that all americans are without tact nor education and  despise  anything  which is non american ... Saying that about ALL americans would be a gross caricature , even if someone add that he learned this in college discussion and with serious people doinf business in America ...Saying that china is unable to became creative even in high end audio is a CARICATURE, not a fact..

Anyway your opinion are yours...me i only know history and studies about China as the australian one...

 There is CREATIVITY in all countries where people can eat and be educated... This is FACT...

@mahgister  Respectfully, you need to read my words again and not bring along your own prejudice and bias.  First hand experience is the foundation of my statements.  Nothing you say has any bearing on my actual face to face experience.  Really presumptuous and arrogant to claim my experience is a caricature. You have a different first hand experience, fine, let's hear it. 

Creativity, that you newly introduce, is different than innovation.  Innovation is a completely different approach to design or manufacturing.  Creativity is a broad brush, ill defined terminology.
