| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? Chinese history aside, I think that we can agree that most manufacturers will purchase parts and assemble components based upon price. The better companies will carefully verify that all is per spec and that the end product is of high quality. Aud... | |
| seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget) @audiocanada The Nova 3 seems like a great suggestion. It was on my top three list when I was auditioning speakers with the MA-12000 integrated. I haven’t heard the other speakers that you were considering. | |
| Listen to a CD or LP in showroom? @trackmoe Like most threads, this one was all over the place, and I’m just curious as to what you got out of the thread? Hopefully it was something positive that would help you find some new speakers. | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @mahgister Did you watch the video? It simply demonstrates how quality control is a distant second to appearing modern and progressive. China is a total mess. Their system is rotten top to bottom. I agree that the US has serious issues, but Chi... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? It is not a question of quality. The Apple seems good enough. China just sent a rocket into space employing methane. This is a challenge NASA is still trying to master, as well as the Russians. NASA is no longer in the space business. They are... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @mahgister This video shows recent events in China and how they differ from how China represents itself. I’ve read news reports of studies showing how China leads the west in this or that. This video shows how the current Chinese culture trades ... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @mahgister And china technological advances begin to eclipse US in many fields ... China makes many claims, but there isn’t anything claimed by the CCP that can be believed. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @emergingsoul Your idea counters what I value. I value posting systems in reference to questions and advice given. I don’t want there to be an elite and I don’t care to see your stable of cars. I posted this question because I had thought tha... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? One day made in China may have the same cachet as made in Japan. Possible, but right now China under Xi is turning to Mao. Japanese and Chinese work and business ethics are quite different. Very different cultures. Currently, China assembles th... | |
| "Can You Lift Yours?" I wish that my home theater, two channel listening room, and gym we’re all on the first floor. All of it was installed by others and none of it can I lift. I use the gym daily and I am strong for my age. It is the “for my age” part that is importa... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @mc1969 It is archaic, but posting your system does not require the webmaster’s help and if you need help, see first page of this thread. | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? Just for the record, high end audio has always consisted of high priced items. Also, China’s place in this world is changing. Labor cost in China have soared. The business environment has soured. It is difficult to predict the future, but the h... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? I don't want to be robbed. Now the bad guys know that you are a good target. Best be safe and delete your post. | |
| Listen to a CD or LP in showroom? @grislybutter His questions are valid, but the tone was harsh. | |
| Listen to a CD or LP in showroom? @trackmoe I auditioned speakers with dealers that carried my integrated amp. The dealer wanted to make their speakers sound as good as possible and I controlled amplification. I wanted to hear the best possible through the speakers, so I was qui... |
