"BEIJING -- A quiet revolution is shaking up the rarified world of high fidelity." -- Boston Globe

General Asylum

General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

[Tendentiously it continues:]
A new generation of Chinese audio manufacturers offers consumers a radical value proposition by the industry's standards: great sound at great prices.
For years, hi-fi manufacturers in Europe, the United States, and Japan have alternately impressed and alienated music lovers with their tall claims and extravagant prices. After all, the world of hi-fi is one where $6,000 speaker wires receive the best-buy award from specialty audio magazines. That's despite the fact that sound engineers can't even agree on whether fancy speaker wire is measurably better than the ordinary electric copper wire sold in the corner hardware store for $10.
