"Cough!!! snort!!! coffee back up through my nose. Please US or to be more fair the typical western consumer generally could not give a rats arse about fit 'n' finish for the most part. Why do you all think Wal Mart is the largest discount super store in the world?"

I don't believe that audiophiles who buy "high-end" gear should be in your camp of typical western consumers. Those typical folks shop the discount stores for Emerson, Eton, Sound Storm, Coby, Trutech, Axion, Starlight, and other brands of unknown origin and quality.

"I have nothing against made in China. I have some good stuff from there. They are where Made in Japan was 30-40 years ago and will move forward like Japan did."

True. And exactly why one might be concerned and cautious about buying Chinese "high-end" audio today.
