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,
JulianSpeakers: Wilson Audio Alexia 2 | Digital Sources: Esoteric Grandioso K1X + Cybershaft OP21A, Modified OPPO 205 | Amplification: Boulder 2110 + Dan D'Agostino M400 | Analog cables: Jorma Prime, Transparent Reference XL | Digital cables: Kimber KS2020 | Power cords: Transparent OPUS

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

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.
I fully agree with you that we just want the best products from the world - no matter where is coming from.
