Hello from Beijing
Hello everyone,
This is Julian from Beijing, China. I am an audiophile since the 80’s. I am also a music lover, especially the classical music. Looking forward to enjoying all discussions in this forum.
Thanks!

Re: Hello from Beijing
Many thanks to you all! To answer some of your questions: I have listed most of my gears in my signature area. The only Chinese brand item I am using right now is the OPPO 205, which is a great Bluray play. Although it was discontinued a couple years ago. I believe it is still the best you can buy (if you can find one) in the market. And the projector I am using is the JVC N6BC.
Cheers,

Re: Hello from Beijing
I believe JVC stand for Japan Victor Company. I don't think that is a Chinese product...

Welcome, Julian! Wonderful system that you have there.
Don’t understand some of the comments though.

Re: Hello from Beijing
Sorry to confuse you. I don't mean JVC is a Chinese brand, the only Chinese product is the OPPO. I was explaining my gears. Originally Posted by Glareskin

Re: Hello from Beijing
I didn't bring this up. If you read the thread from the beginning, I was ansewering someone's comment that I don't have any Chinese brand gear in my system. So I explained that I do have a Chinese gear - the OPPO 205. Originally Posted by nicoludio

Re: Hello from Beijing
Thanks! I have been in Beijing since 2002. I will most likely returning to Chicago in 3 years after I retire from our company. I am sure I will miss Beijing a lot too. Originally Posted by W9TR
