The overall tenor of this thread has become offensive. Where was all the indignation when offshore stereo gear came from Western Europe? There were a number of full crap products that came out of England.
If you are an American and offended that jobs are being shipped offshore- - try looking in the mirror! The 1% is always looking to increase profit by paying workers near-slave wages.
The Chinese didn't come here and at gunpoint take our jobs. They were willingly sent away for overt greed. A lot of the tycoons don't give a damn about you having a living wage.
I try to buy American when I can if it is not at a rip-off price, but it is becoming increasingly hard to do. All too many American manufactures have moved offshore and the name, logo, and bean counters are the only things that remain here. Caveat Emptor!
You have the right to spend your money where and how you want, but to dismiss a product just because it is made in China is bigoted at best. This forum is about audio and not geopolitical whining. Keep your narrow jingoistic opinions to yourself. There are plenty of sites on the Internet where your views may be welcomed.
I am sure most of the readers of this forum appreciate genuine objective/subjective product reviews or critiques. The rest of us here want to just hear the music and not your whining.
